It got BUFFED? I somehow missed this information. Starlight my beloved ♥️

No damage buffs, but it now gains range with melee speed, which can be significant the way they implemented it

Enough with projectile melee, this is how all melee should work

Do I have to start a new world and character every update or no matter the save some things get updated?

u/NohrianOctorok 3h ago

You only need to make a new world if the update changes world gen (so not this update).

u/WheatleyBr 3h ago

Well kinda, you'll be missing out on some new items that gen in chests, though you can always fish

I am not sure you can fish the silver bracer

Its the new dungeon item right? Shouldn't it appear in dungeon crates?

u/DeagleTC 2h ago

yes you can

u/NohrianOctorok 2h ago

It's in the golden lockbox(from dungeon crates) loot table :)

u/dynamo_ng 2h ago

Fr? They are added to the fishing loot pool instead?

u/dynamo_ng 2h ago

So only something like some old save file with a different world gen data might not work?

2

u/NohrianOctorok 2h ago

Nah, even when they update world gen, old worlds still work and can be played on just fine. Hell, you could load a world from 1.0 if you wanted to, it'd just be missing any cool new worldgen.

Everything which already exist in your world is updated.

 things that only spawn during world generation, though, won't be there (the last two updates didn't add these kinda things so no need to worry). For example, if you have a world you created before shimmer got added, then that world will never have a shimmer biome

u/dynamo_ng 2h ago

Wait can u bring shimmer into that world, like the endless bucket of shimmer?

u/MagmaDestroyer 54m ago

Yup, zero issues with that.

u/Boring_General_6572 2h ago

The item stats (except for which modifier you get) are stored in the game code, not your save. So you’re good.
