Weapons & Equip - Early game mage/summon items (2024)

I think the weak weapons you want are wand of sparking and finch staff but they can't be made. I also want to add recipe to them.

I figured they wouldn't add recipes to those so I just suggested new weapons that are a little weaker but have the option to be crafted at the start of the game (like the bow and wooden sword) .

I like the idea of a Wooden Wand, and I think its stats could simply be the same as pre-1.4 Wand of Sparking. That'd make it comparable to the Wooden Sword and Wooden Bow.

Yes, exactly like that and if they made a summon/whip of a similar tier you would be able to choose your class right at the start of the game and it would make single class playthroughs more fun imo

The Leather whip is pretty easy to get pre-boss, just explore a little bit and you should get 50ish NOC's easily.

True but I'm talking starting gear similar to the wood sword or bow, like a weapon you can easily get before you kill a single mob. I think it would make single class playthroughs more fun and feasible.

starter weapons similar to wooden sword/bow but for mage and summoner
-wood and dirt for a dirt golem summon and iron chains for a whip
-wooden wand for a super weak mage weapon and an iron, gold or platinum wand to have 1 more mage weapon before you get the gem staff's (similar to the early game sword and bow tiers)

Those all sound cool and very well thought out! For the summon and early game staff I was talking about just more starter weapons that can be crafted from just wood, stone or dirt so people can pick their class and stick with it right at the start of the game without having to use any other classes .The things you suggested sound like good early game weapons too, for the "staff of sparking" I think it would work well if the wand of sparking was craftable and could be upgraded, it would be good for early game mage playthroughs! and the "Geolithic Orb" could be an upgrade to the starter summon I was talking about and would make for a good early game alternative to the flinx staff!

I also like the idea of upgrading the staffs but I think it should cost demonite or crimtane, it would fit perfectly and be a good weapon for post eye of Cthulhu

true something like the ruby emerald and sapphire being upgradable with post evil boss materials and then diamond and amber with hellstone

Yes! that would make the staff's way better, as of right now they are cool but pretty useless imo, as soon as you get the vile thorn I see no point in using them sadly. if they could be upgraded with demonite, meteorite and hellstone they would fit progression perfectly and be great pre-hardmode weapons!

exactly and you could even make combined gem staves in mid hardmode with mech souls and then combine these dual staves into one powerful gem rainbow weapon
