Arcanium Lanterns

[walksanator]

make torches a weapon that inflict burning

[Ignisium]

The current lanterns suck so yes, I would love to have an arcanium lantern that can guide my way.

Bonus points if I can get arcanium lanterns/lamps for my ship too.

I genuinely wasn’t thinking of anyone in particular when I said that lol.

[iforgotmeword]

I know, but I find it funny that I fit the stereotype so well
well the more I write the better I get so it’s fine to call my ideas trash it helps me make better ones

Hey, I remember adding this idea to one of my random suggestions once. It would be really nice QOL if there was a stronger passive light source than the pitiful waist lantern.

@Ramen1

I often just find myself charging in extremely dark places like the Ancient Hall and Mount Othrys because of how incredibly fucking dark they are.

This is a bit too much for a waist lantern. I think the arcanium waist lantern should be twice as strong as the current waist lantern passively, and maybe it will become stronger when you are in the dark (so you character isn’t overly saturated and tinted in normal light).

An arcanium torch-like tool should also come with the arcanium waist lantern. This is a stronger torch (maybe 50% more range and brightness) that can be toggled using click to act as a flashlight. And maybe it should have an ability where you can decrease max energy to increase it’s range and brightness by an additional 50% (additive) and keep the torch on passively, even when you switch.

@TheoreticalExistence

I personally see them as:
Effort: The amount of effort put in the suggestion.
Quality: How easy it is to read and understand the suggestion.
Reasonability: How reasonable the suggestion is.

So the rating have never been used “correctly”, with most people just putting blanket 5 or 1 stars on suggestions as a super upvote/downvote basically since their inception, but it’s interesting to see how the terms are still being consistently misinterpreted.

@Meta

Quality is a culmination of how good the idea is itself, how its formatted, its presentability, and the aspects considered for it. A suggestion could have a lot of effort be put into it but not be a quality suggestion.

@Meta

Reasonability is basically asking yourself “How much sense would it make for Vetex to add/change this to/for the game?” Like if it is some gigantic feature request that’d take weeks and weeks to do for little benefit, it probably wouldn’t be very reasonable.

Effort is obvious, but Quality was intended to be “How good/well thought out is the idea, and how well is it presented”, and Reasonability was intended to be “How easy would this suggestion be to implement, relative to its impact”.

I’d personally have named them Presentation, Quality and Scope, but if I wanted that change to happen I should have brought it up 2 years ago.

Anyway, enough off-topic ramblings about how to correctly use the ratings system.
this suggestion is stinky get megadownvoted

“I can’t see shit!”

[Gone_Rotten]

This is a good idea and all, but not all magics glow. You would need a heat base magic (like fire, plasma, or magma.) or light magic for it to be better than regular lighting.

ice glows brighter than fucking light magic for whatever reason, i dont think it’s a big hurdle

The idea is there, but I honestly don’t think an Arcanium waist-Lantern will be all that good. You have to first consider that not everyone has magic, though it could work like Dodge Reflexes and allow vitality, weapons, or fighting styles to work in magic’s place. However, then it wouldn’t really be Arcanium. Plus, not every magic can feasibly produce light. Ice, water, shadow, wood, metal. The list goes on. Though, I think the point is that your magic changed the color instead of affecting the light. Brighter sources of light would be great, but it’d be greater if lighting was less of a pain overall. Maybe higher-tier lanterns could start giving the Clearsight buff, I think that could be genuinely interesting.

Arcanium Lanterns are cool, but not really feasible in terms of the game.

[Ultimateblaze75]

Alternatively, arcanium lights for your ship. We already get arcanium ship parts and it could look quite cool

[sock]

sounds cool

[Ramen1]

Bro wtf is with the 1 stars

[Ramen1]

Their magic is white if you read the post

[wmdrayal]

@Ramen1

These can be hitched to your waist like the regular lantern but magnify its usefulness and coolness by 10.

please make the light lanterns give you a flashbang everytime u turn it on

it;ll be funny i think

[wmdrayal]

ngl yeah this was what i thought when reading the title lol

@_Jinn

You have to first consider that not everyone has magic

just make them like arcanium cannons them, randomized ( or is it neutral? )

@_Jinn

Plus, not every magic can feasibly produce light. Ice, water, shadow, wood, metal

the element magic produce may not, but the energy itself still can

[Ramen1]

the neutral is the model shown in the picture

[NoBanana]

I think instead of a dark sea exclusive lantern, the existing light sources that we already have should just be brighter. I also think that “it can light up almost the entirety of Ancient Halls” is waaaay too bright.

It’s not like this is a balance issue - like you say, you can just turn down your graphics to 1 and you don’t need a light source at all. There’s no reason to gatekeep a proper lightsource by putting it in the dark sea.

If you don’t have magic, Arcanium stuff just becomes nothing until traded to someone who does.
