Glass cutter feedback and some suggestions

[Ugur01]

Production Cost: Fair because it will increase in popularity due to the buff, and with the new electric fences coming, more moon shard will be needed. This may cause moon shard to be insufficient, especially in multiplayer, but now that it is so cheap, it would be better if the cost was in between.

Extra Damage: Although this seems high, it actually only lets you gain an advantage in one hit (three hits for the Lurking Nightmare). Additionally, I’d like to suggest that for other nightmare creatures that are not weak, it can provide a 10% damage increase.

Celestial Orb: I’m not sure if crafting it here is worthwhile. Obtaining this item is luck-based, and you might not get it until day 60. It can only be used on the surface. Its extra damage shines in caves, but it cannot be crafted there. Instead, adding prototyping would be better.

Prototyping (Suggestion): My idea is that to prototype the glass cutter, you need to combine two altars. This requires some effort and rewards you accordingly. For the moon glass axe prototype, one altar would suffice

I largely agree, very balanced feedback.

I will say that during the phase of the game where Glass Cutters are usable, Moon Glass isn't as abundant as it is post rift, at which point you will never use a Glass Cutter again, so a cost equivalent to Glass Axes seems reasonable to me.

This seems like a very unintuitive mechanic for new players, or for anyone who hasn't read the patch notes for that matter. I think if they want to make these prototypable, they should revert the recipes to be learned at the altar on Lunar Island and just have them be prototypes, like Walter's moon shots, so you go there to learn moon glass crafts to use throughout the world.

I have a new idea. What if we got them from distilled knowledge, the blue one?
