[Suggestion] alternate venues of will accumulation
Jackiecrazy opened this issue ยท 5 comments
Many mods add their own ways to acquire mod-specific resources, and one issue has always been inventory clutter. It quickly becomes annoying to lug around multiple swords, using them against different mobs to collect, say, demon will and eidolon's soul shards separately. It would be convenient to be able to apply the ability to any eligible item like how timeless ivy works for mana repair. It could be a later advancement, such as using the smithing table to combine any weapon and a demon/aspected will crystal (cluster), which would make the weapon add soul snare on attack. Basically trading the ability to switch types and scale damage for convenience.
There is a currently implemented method to turn Demon Will and LP into more Demon Will - when you grow Crystal clusters, every spire after the first costs 40 to grow, but can be burned for 50, making a net gain of 10 will per spire.
If you use a ritual to automatically harvest the crystals, and hopper them into a Crucible, you can get a passive net gain of crystals - and if you put a Tartaric Gem into a Hellfire Forge, it will absorb any will in the Chunk's Aura.
We'll keep this in mind though, and will consider other methods of will generation as we go on. :)
As to the other issue, I'm not all that certain.

I'm having this bottle neck where just a 10 will increase just isn't enough for my farming needs. It sure would be nice to have a ritual that would drain LP and encourage crystal growth in the area?
you don't need to make a Demon Crystallizer for every crystal - once you have four spires, you can craft them into a new crystal, which you can place anywhere. If you need a lot of will, you can fill an entire chunk with these crystals, massively boosting your production rate. As long as they're within the range of the crystal-harvesting ritual and in the same chunk as your crucible, all you need to worry about is collecting them.
I have a few of these crystals down (3) in a separate area with a crucible, but they don't seem to suck down the will from the aura very well. I'll try overloading it with them, see if I can't get this bottleneck flowing (ty btw)
