Hello Nakano. As I was playing your mod, I thought of a few ideas that you might want to consider.

1. An early summoner weapon

Wouldn't it be cool to not have to farm for ages for a slime staff and get slaughtered while saving your points for charisma? I propose starter summoning weapons sort of like staves, how there is topaz, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby, and diamond, there could be the same for summoning weapons. The sprite could look like the slime staff except without the slime and have gems in it. What they would spawn is entirely up to you, but I suggest stuff like aggressive birds so as to not replace other staves or be better than the slime staff. As for creating the birds, I'd just use bats and re-sprite them as birds. Here are the suggested stats for the item.

Amethyst: 3 Damage, 0 Knockback, 20 Mana Usage, 29 Use Time, 7 Velocity, Recipe: 10 Tin/Copper Bars, 7 Amethyst, 5 Fallen Stars

Topaz: 3 Damage, 0 Knockback, 18 Mana Usage, 29 Use Time, 7 Velocity, Recipe: 10 Tin/Copper Bars, 7 Topaz, 5 Fallen Stars

Sapphire: 4 Damage, 0 Knockback, 16 Mana Usage, 28 Use Time, 8 Velocity, Recipe: 12 Silver/Tungsten, 8 Sapphire, 5 Fallen Stars

Emerald: 4 Damage, 1 Knockback, 14 Mana Usage, 28 Use Time, 9 Velocity, Recipe: 12 Silver/Tungsten, 8 Emerald, 5 Fallen Stars

Ruby: 5 Damage, 1 Knockback, 12 Mana Usage, 27 Use Time, 10 Velocity, Recipe: 14 Gold/Platinum, 10 Ruby, 5 Fallen Stars

Diamond: 6 Damage, 1 Knockback, 10 Mana Usage, 27 Use Time, 10 Velocity, Recipe: 14 Gold/Platinum, 10 Diamond, 5 Fallen Stars

2. More Ammo Pouches

What would be cool is if there are ammo pouches and endless quivers for all sorts of ammo. Of course that would be overpowered so there could be a gradual cost in crafting them, such as adamantite/titanium bars or souls from the mechanical bosses.

3. Reimplementing The Merchant Items

I loved how the merchant would sell you cool stuff early game like iron pickaxes or silver armor. It really added a measure of fun to the game and having actually bought sometihng useful, it feels cool using it.

4. Different Pistols

Instead of just the old flintlock pistol, it would be nice to be able to craft that and a few bars to make a shiny new one. There could be several of them, like gold, platinum, and silver flintlock pistols. Maybe you can upgrade them with 15 bars and the actual gun. It would be cool to have a variety of guns just as there are bows.

5. Enchantments

I know that this is something straight out of minecraft, but it would be cool to reforge your sword and find out it now does fire damage, or a pickaxe with fortune that has a chance to collect extra gems once mining them. There could be different levels of enchantments and it could be done at an anvil with refining and at every level it has a random chance of aquiring an enchantment.

Well, that's all I have for you so far! I kind of want to see the staves in the game, so please let me know if you're interested and I could draw up a sprite for you. Cheers!
