Reworking my Custom Terraria Shaman Class

In this video, I will be reworking items from my custom Terraria Shaman class, which is part of the Orchid Mod.
Modded standards have evolved, and a lot of my work just doesn't cut it anymore.
Music used in my videos :
Terraria Soundtrack - Scott Lloyd Shelly (Re-Logic)
Stardew Valley OST - ConcernedApe

This is a Terraria mod I coded using tModLoader. You can find most of my Terraria Mods on the Steam Workshop or the ingame tModloader Mod Browser.

This video is quite a lot denser than what I've done until now Unsurprisingly, it was also a lot longer to make, since the gameplay segments I usually include are drastically easier to edit, and there was a lot of codework involved 😐 Tell me what you think! If y'all like these more "concrete" videos, I will be doing more in the future 😊

[@Goteryup]

I really like the video style but i did find it a tad bit hard to follow at times

[@Werewolf_32]

I really liked seeing all of the changes, makes me want to play!

[@nekokoluga]

You should make onmyoji class

For the avalanche, how do you feel about still showing the icicle growing while filling the bond as a purely visual effect?

[@VerveineYT]

Why have you (of anyone) devolved so fact into mocking my accent 💀

[@tazo8658]

I have played Terraria ever since 2013 but have yet to start a modded playthrough, so i wasn't expecting to get this invested on a mod rework. I really appreciate the effort on trying to make the Shaman stand out from the other classes and feel like its own thing, and it somehow makes resource management and passive damage feel separate from other classes like mage and summoner, which feels like a superb achievement. Hope development goes smooth and will be eagerly awaiting to start my own playthrough!

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you! I'm glad you like the class 😁

I honestly fell in love with this mod, even playing with each class before wof (even if some arent fully done to hardmode) I love the dedication and uniqueness of each class. Keep up the great work, you got this!

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you! After the shaman rework, alch and gambler will be the ones lacking visual/feel wise lol

Very Cool, just finished watching the video. Also the more "concrete" videos are a nice welcome!

I can’t wait for this to be updated it seems so fun to play which is rare for me to think about new classes

[@RyanDxxx0]

G gawd damn g, I remember messing around with the Orchid mod like, a few years ago, and it was fun, but seeing the love and improvements, not only just spritework, but reworking an entire custom class, items, accessories, even the mechanics to make it more readable, and giving each weapon a more unique ability and flare to it, just congrats so far on your amazing work. I can't wait for the future of this mod.

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you! ✨

[@gweegweezoozoo]

[@bloppam3835]

i think you have done great in distancing the shaman from other classes! a lot of mods don't do it to well however i think the shaman class is done very well!

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you :)

I love these sorts of mods. I cant wait to see the guardian class be updated, it's the tank class I was born to use.

I remember checking the Orchid mod back in the 1.3 tModLoader era, glad to see you're still working on it :D Looking forward to see what else you can cook, cuz your mods are a joy to play through ^_^

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you ! 🥺

[@kayagorzan]

When you get to developing stuff for hardmode, you definitely need to make a sceptre that shoots the Dreadnautilus' projectiles, not sure what element it'd be but that'd be really cool. It could also have the little portal things blood squids emerge from.

[@justinwilliams463]

It would be water because blood

[@jurrebergamin2685]

Never knew you made the orchid mod

[@torchfire0]

This looks awesome and I will try it again. I tried Shaman a long time ago and it felt too complicated for me. One idea may be to make the crimson and corruption staffs slightly different to diversify the experience more (other classes have this as well).

[@VerveineYT]

I am aware that differientiating crimson and corruption weapons would be better for the experience, but at this point, I'd rather make more weapons than making some that will only be available in 50% of worlds

[@TheDevourerOfGods]

Very interesting... I'll be keeping an eye on you.

[@VerveineYT]

Awesome work! The class seems very fun and thematic to play. I hope you do a rogue-ish class someday (with reworked shortswords maybe? xD).

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you! This is *kind of* the plan with the shortswords rework, but it won't span over all the game sice it would be too gimmicky after some time, given how ... short shortswords are

[@jjsplace4266]

Very excited to see how this mod is coming along! Would love to get into modding but don't have enough time.

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you! Yeah, modding is extremely time consuming, large scale mods are basically the same amount of work as creating a game You can totally come up with smaller mods though, my spear mod for example didn't take me a lot of time to make :)

[@Gimliyoke]

its been a long time since i have seen a class based mod with terraria accurate classes! To some degree atleast. One criticism I have about this mod is the weapon designs, they are all based around already existing terraria aspects, so maybe make some scepters that have your own themes tied into it? One Idea I have for a scepter in Pre-Hardnode is a ancient sigil scepter crafted from materials in the marble cave. You definitely don’t have to take my advice, I’m not being demanding because that would be really dumb, but it’s just something I noticed!

[@VerveineYT]

Thank you :) The class does have some unique-themed items, for example a rune scepter, mushroom biome chest weapon, and a pirate staff in harmode, or a starpower scepter in prehardmode It is true though that I would rather expand on existing sets first, for the sake of consistency Here is a link to the (outdated) wiki page for shaman weapons if you're curious : terrariamods.wiki.gg/wiki/Orchid_Mod/Shaman Regarding your idea : Adding materials for a single item is a pretty bad idea game-design wise, and leads to an item bloat usually, adding one implies making a set of items for it, with either multiple items for the same class (wax dropped by the queen bee is a good example), or a collection of items (ectoplasm or most ores for example) The weapon would then have to be crafted with marble itself, which isn't a bad thing, but I think it would be more interesting to have it spawn in marble chests specifically instead :) The mod has Thorium Mod compatibility, and a lot of shaman weapons are crafted using Thorium Mod materials This includes a Marble Cave scepter!

[@Gimliyoke]

@@VerveineYTyeah I guess I should have downloaded the mod first, lol. I will plan on playing this along with thorium later to actually experience it for myself! Also the idea of consistency is great, not a lot of mods that try and make vanilla feels actually successfully do that, and that’s why I instantly fell in love with this series!

[@Haidex_]

this video is awesome !

no, you are.

[@herikprismori2819]

Woah! What amazing update the new mechanic is soo fresh and unique i just wonder how it will be on hardmode... Man you have to give us Shaman's Orquid Armor 🙏🙏🙏

[@VerveineYT]

Hardmode shamans will be able to cycle weapons faster, and bonds will last longer, so likely the same but more fluid :) What do you mean with Orchid Armor? An orchid themed armor set?

[@monkeeeeyt]

@VerveineYT idk if this is going against anything but the fishing fighting part of terraria is very neglected so added some weapons there might be good as (whatever is blood's element is) shaman weapon

Can shaman buff other players.

[@VerveineYT]

No, shaman is not about buffing other

[@kywii6678]

Seeing as you didn't mention it, I'm guessing you removed the Night's Edge-like shaman scepter (so the whole Terra line is gone too). That is a pretty good change, as that trope is EXTREMELY overdone, leaves more room to make better, more interesting weapon upgrades.

[@VerveineYT]

I did not, but didn't find a satisfying idea for it yet. I acutally find it to be a quite interesting weapon line for shaman SPECIFICALLY, since they make a good introduction to "Spirit" element weapons I will be keeping them, but make sure they make sense, that every weapon in the line can be re-obtained easily if the player wants it again (no chest weapons, priorize crafted items). My others classes will not get one, too.
