Game Mechanics Quest armor locations locks, and fix water breathing

My proposal stems from the breathing helmet proposal, from a few days ago.

Currently ingame there are 3/4 locations ingame locked behind quest helmets which is honestly a rather stupid mechanic... If you want to lock them, simply lock them behind certain quest steps, instead of gear. This ruins gear builds for no good reason.

The worst offender of which is the climbing helmet, and Maro peaks... Will get back to you later. [ties in with a major world event suggestion i'm working on] The next 2 examples are the breathing helmets 1 and 2, which are required for the maltic ship, and the Nassak lake. [iIthink] Lastly is the restored helmet of legends which is required for the Corrupter of worlds.

I propose removing the gear requirement for each of these areas, but instead lock them behind quest steps or quest completion. For example the maro peaks should be locked behind the ice nations quest, the maltic ship should be locked behind the breathing helmet step, the nassak lake behind the breathing helmet 2 step, and the CoW behind the restored helmet of legends crafting step. But not require wearing them to enter the regions, instead being unlocked permanently for that class.

This stems from breathing helmet 2 not working for the maltic ship, the Maro peaks being a pain, and the CoW ruining builds. each of these items have there uses, but should simply be QoL items instead of requirements. While the climbing helmet should just be killed.

Also currently breathing helmets are useless, since due to a mechanical change from the Gallegons Graveyard rework, you can simply sprint underwater to fully regenerate your oxygen bar. I recommend removing that feature, and maybe that entire stage. [buggy mess] IN turn bringing back the tier 1 and 2 breathing helmets back.

Next I would suggest turning the useless abyssal matter water breathing consumable into a trinket that grants water breathing. This is an endgame item after all, and should invalidate the need for breathing helmets entirely. This would be nice since with unlimited water breathing, and 1.13 swimming, underwater enemies and bosses should be doable. [all movement spells already work underwater] [also make the water clear with the server resource pack]

Please making the Depthseeker's Boon a trinket would be massive, and also add a reason to actually farm abyssal matter, as none of its ingredients are really worth grinding.

Simply transferring my constructive feedback posts from the discord onto the forums.
I have 2 major suggestions in the works, one relating dungeons, the other relating a new major world event concept. [maybe also a new province idea as well]

 

We're already vocal about wanting to remove quest helmets. When Maro Peaks gets redone, the quest helmet will 100% be cut.

 

good to know.

 

Say whart

common CT w
This is cool I didn’t know That was in the works!

 

kinda unrelated but even with a bad build thanks to the quest helmet CoW is super easy. I killed that thing with FROG DANCE.
it needs a buff for how hyped up it is.

 

thoughts on turning the Depthseeker's Boon into a trinket or should I split that and my request to revert GG water breathing in a different post?

 

If you want my opinion, you should chill and calm down on posting for a bit

 

DEUS
