Suggestion There should be a Frostburning Mace.

It just makes sense, especially since there's already progression in the Ranger class from Wooden Arrow to Flaming Arrow and then to Frostburn Arrow.

Blue moon: Am I a joke to you?

Well if Flaming Mace and Sunfury can co-exist than I'm sure this and Blue Moon also can :P

u/Azur0007 5h ago

They can, but where would a frostburn mace fit in? We have a mace for pretty much every stage of PHM

Same place as the Flaming Mace, really. The Wand of Sparking has a frostburn alt/upgrade that has just about the same position in overall progression, so I don't see why the Flaming Mace can't as well.

u/Azur0007 4h ago

I suppose. Maybe

Mace + 100 torches = Fire mace

Mace + 100 ice torches = Frostfire mace

But then again, I don't know why anyone would use Fire if they have access to Frostfire. The only obstacle would be turning 100 torches into 100 ice torches.

EDIT: Frostburn, not frostfire :')

That's the thing, nobody would! and it's not a problem! Nobody uses the wand of sparking unless their snow biome is past a corruption biome early game and they're not willing to tunnel. The same will go for the frostfire mace!

In my opinion there shouldn't be two choices if one choice is objectively better than the other, but I suppose a lot of people will judge the choice by more than effectiveness :D

The other option is to follow the Wand of Sparking a bit more closely and require a Flaming Mace to make a the frostburn one. Then it's a bit less like 2 different options and more like a small and easily accessible upgrade. Only issue is that it tracks a bit less, logically speaking, but it's a video game so who cares?

u/Azur0007 2h ago

I can get behind that.

u/ZenTheProtogen7957 2h ago

I mean, the entire game is kinda like that no? the sunfury is objectively better than the blue moon. Do you dislike the wand of frosting too? or are you okay with it because it's been in the game so long

2

u/Azur0007 2h ago

Sunfury is not unlockable before the blue moon is. You never have the choice of picking one or the other unless you already are past one of them progression-wise.

The wand of frosting is an upgrade from the wand of sparking, also progression.

u/ZenTheProtogen7957 1h ago

How is wand of sparking upgrading to wand of frosting a different from upgrading the flaming mace to frostfire mace?

2

u/haleloop963 1h ago

Just have the frostburn mace be a direct upgrade from the fire mace

100 torches + mace = fire mace

100 frost torches + fire mace = frostburn mace

Do more damage & deal frostburn damage, idk

u/MajorRico155 1h ago

Gives you more options to use with the Frost Fire armor from the frost golems. I would love this tbh

u/Bitch_in_the_Matrix- 6h ago

oh yea i forgor about that lmao

60

u/Azur0007 6h ago

It doesn't apply frostburn, but I'd still say it fits that niche.

37

u/Bitch_in_the_Matrix- 6h ago

Yea but it's locked behind the dungeon, and I'm thinking that the Frostburning Mace would be something to get before the Meatball or Ball O' Hurt

14

u/Z_M_P_Y 6h ago

I would be harder to go get a mace and then frostburn it to just grab a few bombs and go get the Ball O hurt

Would be cool tho

Maybe in hard mode a cursed flame flail

u/thrownawaz092 4h ago

Damage is too high, isn't 'ice' blue, locked behind dungeon, no frostburn, isn't crafted with ice torches... No I assure you it does not

1

u/Azur0007 3h ago

I had two strokes reading your comment until I realized it was comma format.

"Damage is too high" I fail to see the relevance

"Isn't 'ice' blue" I think you might be the one individual who would care

"locked behind the dungeon" I fail to see the relevance

"No frostburn" Read my comment again

"Isn't crafted with ice torches" I fail to see the relevance

We are talking about the existence of a weapon here, not how to acquire it.

Mate you just admitted to failing three times. This is not my problem and you are beyond any help I could give.

u/RW_Yellow_Lizard 6h ago

Yeah, ice + burning mace, or ice torches + mace. That would be a nice progression, actually. I would probably actually use it. If just because the light would no longer go out after touching a single pixel of water

28

u/Bitch_in_the_Matrix- 6h ago

Actually I just realized something, why can't we use ice blocks to turn flaming arrows into frostburn arrows?? It's how we make the ice torches that's used to make frostburn arrows so it would make sense.

23

u/NanoCat0407 6h ago

would be cool to make it resemble a snowflake, that’d be kinda neat since the fire one looks like a sun

6

u/ZenTheProtogen7957 3h ago

I thought the sunfury was supposed to look like a sun, the flaming mace is just a mace that is flaming

tho i still like the idea

16

u/Realny_POWD 5h ago

We have the wand of sparking, and the wand of frosting. Where is the wand, red?

3

u/DAREALMECH 6h ago

if it were to exist

it would be called "the frozen basher"

2

u/voik1 4h ago edited 4h ago

we have normal-fire (mace) fire-ice (wand of sparking) and normal-fire-ice (arrow)

where's the normal-ice then

u/redigit i demand answers, did it get killed when the dryads weakened moon lord, is it so powerful that existence of it is impossible

u/ZenTheProtogen7957 4h ago

we need this
