THE ARMOR Update

This update introduces a completely new mechanic to almost every armor set in the modpack. Each set now features exclusive attributes and set bonuses. Progression is organized into 8 Tiers, allowing you to find gear that favors your specific playstyle.

Armor Classes

Armor sets have been categorized into the following archetypes:

• Sustain: Focused on lifesteal and melee.
• Tank: Focused on damage mitigation and resistance.
• Assassin: Specialized in dodge, movement speed, and rapid attacks.
• Summoner: Focused on mana and strengthening summons (Note: currently benefits Iron's Spells and its addons only).
• Caster: Focused on spell cooldown reduction for spell spamming.
• Mage: Specialized in increasing magic damage, whether elemental or general.
• Thrower: Focused on DPS and throw strength.
• Sharpshooter (gun class): Specialist in firearms, fire rate, and ammo economy.
• Archer: Focused on damage with bows and crossbows (Arrow Damage).
• Clicker/Builder: Focused on long-reach melee attacks using tools as weapons.
• Miner Sub-class: Focused on mining efficiency and speed.

Developer Note: Feel free to experiment with combinations. Balance will be refined gradually. The game might feel unbalanced for a while, but I plan to fine-tune these values over time based on feedback.

Other Changes

Legendary Creatures

• Mini-bosses from the Legendary Monsters mod have been added to the Legendary Creatures tab.
• They now serve as a secondary way to farm Coins, providing a path to earn money for higher-tier bosses in the same category.
• Their balance is currently provisional.

Unique Summoners

• Summoning items for early-game bosses, specifically those from the Armageddon mod, now have 1 Durability.
• This means you can only summon the boss once per item. This change is intended to discourage boss farming while keeping them accessible for players who prefer combat over mining.

Air Combat

• The Air Combat system has been completely removed. The mechanic did not fit the gameplay loop and conflicted with other core systems.

Recipes and Drops

• Several recipes and item drops have been adjusted to make it easier to obtain specific materials for the armor sets (e.g., Slime Balls).

General

• Updated various mods

Until the next update.
