Armors - JPANv2/UnuBattleRods GitHub Wiki

There are currently 7 armor sets in this mod, all composed of Hat, Vest and Pants: 1 Early game set, 1 Pre-hardmode set, 2 Pre-Mechanical Bosses set, 1 Post Mechanical Bosses set, 1 Post Plantera set and one Post MoonLord set.

Pre Hardmode Sets

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/VacationArmor.png Vacation Armor

  • Total defense: 6
  • Increases Fishing skill by 11
  • Set Bonus: Increase Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 5%
  • Total Cost: 21 Silk, 9 Wood (any), 9 Cactus at the Loom

This is the first available fishing armor, and is roughly the same strength as Copper and Tin armor. It is harder to get than Copper/Tin, as it has a high silk cost but is definitely worth it for the bonus fishing skill (which is slightly inferior to the 15 from the angler vest) and the extra Fishing damage/Bob Speed.

  • Defense: 1
  • Increases Fishing skill by 3
  • Recipe: 5 Silk, 2 Wood (any), 2 Cactus at the Loom

  • Defense: 3
  • Increases Fishing skill by 3

  • Defense: 2
  • Increases Fishing skill by 3
  • Recipe: 6 Silk, 3 Wood (any), 3 Cactus at the Loom

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/SnowSlothArmor.PNG Snow Sloth Armor

  • Total defense: 15
  • Increases Fishing skill by 11
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 8%
  • Set Bonus: Immune to Chilled and Frozen debuffs, +4 defence and 2 life regen when on Snow and Mushroom Biomes (+20 Defence and +10 Life regen on Hard mode). Also, increases knockback by either 2x or 10x in hardmode.

The first of the two situational armors added by the 1.2 update, this armor can be easy or very hard to get a hold of, as it requires Flinx Fur, a 100% drop from Flinx in pre-hardmode (and 20% drop in hardmode), and Flinxes can be very difficult to find. It is definitely an upgrade to the Vacation Armor, but how useful it is to you depends on how quickly you find the Flinx fur and a Mushroom Biome. In Expert, it is much more useful because the Chilled debuff is so common there.

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/FlinxHat.png Flinx Hat

  • Defense: 4
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 3
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 3%
  • Recipe: 2 Flinx Fur and 5 Fungal Spores at a Workbench

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/SnowSlothVest.png Snow Sloth Vest

  • Defense: 6
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 5
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 3%
  • Recipe: 2 Flinx Fur and 10 Fungal Spores at a Workbench

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/SnowSlothPants.png Snow Sloth Pants

  • Defense: 5
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 3
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 2%
  • Recipe: 1 Flinx Fur and 8 Fungal Spores at a Workbench

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/WerewolfArmor.png Werewolf Armor

  • Total defense: 19 (as low as 16 on the New moon, or as high as 95 during Eclipse, Frost and Pumpkin Moons)
  • Increases Fishing skill by 14 (as low as 11 on New Moon or as high as 70 during Eclipse, Frost and Pumpkin Moons)
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 19% (as low as 16% on New Moon or as high as 75% during Eclipse, Frost and Pumpkin Moons, including set bonus)
  • Set Bonus: Increases Fishing Damage and Bob Speed by 5%. Werewolves like you (means you're immune to werewolves).

This is the 2nd situational Armor added with v1.2, and its thing is that the Moon affects your stats, with 0.8x base with a New moon, 1.2x base with a Full Moon, 2x with a Blood Moon and 5x(!) during Eclipses, Frost and Pumpkin Moons. This makes this armor extremely desirable for Event Farming, even if it is an pre-hardmode set, although the materials required may be a bit hard to gather in a pure fishing run. All in all, this is a great, if situational, armor set. Oh, and it makes werewolves ignore you.

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/WerewolfHat.png Werewolf Hat

  • Defense: 6
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 5
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 5%
  • Recipe: 30 Rotten Chunks/ Vertebrae and 10 Tissue Samples at an Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/WerewolfVest.png Werewolf Vest

  • Defense: 7
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 5
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 5%
  • Recipe: 50 Rotten Chunks/ Vertebrae and 20 Tissue Samples at an Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/WerewolfPants.png Werewolf Pants

  • Defense: 6
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 4
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 4%
  • Recipe: 40 Rotten Chunks/ Vertebrae and 15 Tissue Samples at an Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/StarmixArmor.png Star Mix Armor

  • Total defense: 25 (50 in Hardmode)
  • Increases Fishing skill by 20
  • Increases Fishing damage by 15% and Bob Speed by 20% (including set bonus)
  • Set Bonus: Increase Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 10%
  • Total Cost: One of each pre-hardmode ore armor set for each ore tier (or Bar equivalent) and 12 Star Mix

It starts out the same strength as Molten armor, making it one of the most powerful pre-hardmode armors, and is very costly to get. It will, however, last you until much later in hardmode, as each piece of armor doubles its defensive capabilities upon beating the Wall of Flesh, making it equivalent to Titanium Armor, minus the shadow dodge effect. Its bonus Bob speed is very welcome in pre-hardmode, where it reduces bobs from 2s to 1.6, which is a notable difference in DPS. It also increases Fishing Damage slightly. Overall, you should get this armor.

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/StarmixHat.png Star Mix Hat

  • Defense: 8 (16 in Hardmode)
  • Increases Fishing skill by 6
  • Increases Bob Speed by 5%
  • Recipe: 1 Helmet from each pre-hardmode ore tier (or bar equivalent) and 3 Star Mix at the Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/StarmixVest.png Star Mix Vest

  • Defense: 9 (18 in Hardmode)
  • Increases Fishing skill by 8
  • Increases Fishing Damage by 5%
  • Recipe: 1 Body from each pre-hardmode ore tier (or bar equivalent) and 5 Star Mix at the Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/StarmixPants.png Star Mix Pants

  • Defense: 8 (16 in Hardmode)
  • Increases Fishing skill by 6
  • Increases Bob Speed by 5%
  • Recipe: 1 Legs from each pre-hardmode ore tier (or bar equivalent) and 4 Star Mix at the Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/BeeteoriteArmor.png Beeteorite Armor

  • Total defense: 23
  • Increases Fishing skill by 15
  • Increases Fishing damage by 8% and Bob Speed by 10%
  • Set Bonus: Periodically releases Fire Bees. Fire Bees damage based on held rod. They will also carry bits of your bait and inflict those debuffs on the enemy.

The last pre-hardmode armor added in v1.2, this armor is very useful for crowd control. Bees are released every few seconds in sets of 2 or 3, and home in on the nearest enemy (if they spawned without colliding with something). These bees will also inflict your baits debuffs on the enemy for free, if you have some active. Their damage is the same as the rod you are holding, meaning this set can be useful even into hardmode, if you can deal with the lack of defense.

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/BeeteoriteHat.png Beeteorite Hat

  • Defense: 7
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 5
  • Increases Bob Speed by 6%
  • Recipe: 10 Meteorite Bars and 8 Bee Wax at an Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/BeeteoriteVest.png Beeteorite Vest

  • Defense: 9
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 5
  • Increases Fishing damage 8%
  • Recipe: 20 Meteorite Bars and 12 Bee Wax at an Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/NormalMode/BeeteoritePants.png Beeteorite Pants

  • Defense: 7
  • Increases Fishing Skill by 5
  • Increases Bob Speed by 6%
  • Recipe: 15 Meteorite Bars and 10 Bee Wax at an Anvil

Hardmode Sets

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/EvilArmorOfDarkness.png Evil Armors https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/EvilArmorOfBlood.png

  • Total defense: 50
  • Increases Fishing skill by 26
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 18%
  • Set Bonus: Doubles Fishing Knife Range and Damage if you have one equipped. If you don't have one, it provides a free wooden knife effect.
  • Total Cost: One of each hardmode ore armor set for each ore tier (or Bar equivalent) and 135 ShadowScales (for Evil Armor of Darkness) or 135 Tissue Samples (for Evil Armor of Blood) at the Mythril Anvil

Defensively, these armors are the same as the Star Mix one in hardmode, meaning there is not much of an upgrade. Their Set Bonus, however, is what makes them really shine. Doubling Damage and Radius for a Fishing knife (any fishing knife) means this armor set only gets more useful as time goes by and its 50 Defense should be enough to handle most game from there on, if you were so inclined. As an added bonus, equipping the Evil Hat of Blood with Evil Vest/Pants of Darkness (or vice-versa) provides an extra 50% effect to the set bonus.

  • Defense: 10
  • Increases Fishing skill by 8
  • Increases Fishing Damage and Bob Speed by 5%
  • Recipe: 1 Helmet from each hardmode ore tier (or bar equivalent) and 35 ShadowScales (for Evil Hat of Darkness) or 35 Tissue Samples (for Evil Hat of Blood) at the Mythril Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/HardMode/EvilVestOfDarkness.png Evil Vests https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/HardMode/EvilVestOfBlood.png

  • Defense: 25
  • Increases Fishing skill by 10
  • Increases Fishing Damage and Bob Speed by 8%
  • Recipe: 1 Body from each hardmode ore tier (or bar equivalent) and 55 ShadowScales (for Evil Vest of Darkness) or 55 Tissue Samples (for Evil Vest of Blood) at the Mythril Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/HardMode/EvilPantsOfDarkness.png Evil Pants https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/Items/Armors/HardMode/EvilPantsOfBlood.png

  • Defense: 15
  • Increases Fishing skill by 8
  • Increases Fishing Damage and Bob Speed by 5%
  • Recipe: 1 Legs from each hardmode ore tier (or bar equivalent) and 35 ShadowScales (for Evil Pants of Darkness) or 35 Tissue Samples (for Evil Pants of Blood) at the Mythril Anvil

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/HardTriadArmor.png Hard Triad Armor

  • Total defense: 53
  • Increases Fishing skill by 26
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 28%
  • Set Bonus: 10% Mana Syphon on Bob
  • Total Cost: One Hallowed Set, One Frost Set and one Forbidden Set (or their ingredients) and 8 Lesser Energy Amalgamate at the Mythril Anvil

This armor set bonus seems nonsensical at first (Why do I need mana when I'm fishing?), but it can be very helpful when combined with the Mana Shield Shafts or Mana Reels. With the Shield shaft, you basically double your health as long as you have mana. This armor allows you to not run out that fast, if ever. The Mana Reel gives you escalation as long as you have mana to maintain it, and the more you hit with, the more mana you recover with this armor. So, in all, this is a great armor for anyone using either of those class of accessories.

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/LifeforceArmor.png Lifeforce Armor

  • Total defense: 60
  • Increases Fishing skill by 65
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 28%
  • Increases Movement Speed by 20%
  • Set Bonus:
    • +50 Max Health and Mana;
    • Ninja Dodge (blackbelt) effect;
    • 5% chance to nullify an incoming hostile projectile;
    • Produces a glowing blueish light;
    • Truffle worms will not flee from you.
  • Total Cost: 1 Chlorophyte, 1 Shroomite and 1 Spectre Set (or their ingredients) and 18 Energy Amalgamate at the Mythril Anvil

This armor set is built to be useful for the last stretch of the game, and as such has some pretty nifty abilities, such as ninja dodge for melee attacks and a 5% chance to nullify any incoming hostile projectile. It also provides some light in the dark an (my personal favorite) makes so that truffle worms will not dig away if you are near them. This effect is also present in the Cape of Worms, but it's a nice added effect.

Post Moon Lord

https://github.com/JPANv2/UnuBattleRods/blob/master/wiki_images/Armor/FractaliteArmor.png Fractalite Armor

  • Total defense: 91
  • Increases Fishing skill by 110
  • Increases Fishing damage and Bob Speed by 45%
  • Increases Movement Speed by 30%
  • Set Bonus:
    • +200 Max Health and Mana;
    • 10% chance to nullify an incoming hostile projectile;
    • Produces a strong white light;
    • Provides Night Vision;
    • Doubles wings flight time. If you have no wings, it provides a free set of invisible wings.
  • Total Cost: 1 Solar, Vortex, Stardust and Nebula Armor Set (or their ingredients) and 12 Fractalite Bars at the Ancient Manipulator

This is the last (and strongest) armor from this mod. It is kinda expensive if you don't fish for Luminite Crates, requiring 45 of each Fragment + 144 Luminite bars just for the armors themselves. The effect is kinda nice. Extra Health and Mana for dealing with Post Moon Lord Bosses, as well as a imbued 10% chance to negate projectiles, and frees one acessory slot if you don't mind the invisible wings, which have base 180 flight time (same as Solar Wings).
