A few bugs as well: Reeling a drippler makes all the lures on it instantly have infinite tension, some rods make sound effects cut out when held (I tend to play without sound, so I only know the vortex rod does this), and I don't know if it's a bug but touching a hooked lure while reeling makes that lure go away and need to be cast again.

Just finished a playthrough with this, I'd like to give my thoughts on it.

Overall I had fun, especially with how fast you can fish with the rods, but there's some issues: I didn't know about the "Hold your Ground" mechanic until I saw you mention it in the basic mechanics thread, since it's not mentioned ingame. It's pretty important, so it probably should be.

Extra lures splitting damage between them makes them be affected by defense too much to do more than 1 damage for most of the game if there's more than a handful of lures, and because of that the crowd control potential of rods is so bad they're almost useless for events for nearly the whole game.

The price multipliers of some prefixes are WAY too high, and while I get that that was on purpose, keep in mind that most rods can just be shimmered and recrafted instead.

And lastly, rods do WAY too much damage, I had to use another mod to double the health of everything and I still tore through some later bosses.

there was such error

System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. Key: UnuBattleRodsR/CobwebCrate

@JPAN_v2 I lied the error is still there, a second character just somehow makes the game load the backup save and it just so happened that my backup was similar to the recent one when i was testing. And It is caused by legendary battlerods for sure. Iam going to post my modlist later, i have 60 active mods. Why is the "100% velocity" of the legendary prefix written in a smaller font. I have never seen this on a prefix, the stat "velocity"and the font difference, but if it works for you then it must be an incompability.

Thx for the hotfix.

Best class mod ever, i use it for years ^^

The (unknown error) might be something tmodloader related, because the save fixed itself as soon as i made a second character. So having 2 saves fixes it, so the save was never corrupted tmodloader is.

Hi, released a fix for the critter/ nature book not allowing to grab enemies. Literally a misplaced (.
As for finding an Heart of Millions, the heart drops from ANY enemy with 1Million HP or higher. Most mods nowadays have one, but if you are playing Battlerods Only, try fighting our boss after beating the Moon Lord.

As for the corrupting of files with Legendary prefix, We tried it on our end and could not find the bug. It simply does not happen with just Battlerods and a couple of other mods. Can you tell us which mods you were using when it happened?

The accessory that prevents you from killing criters and destroying envirnoment also stops boppers from sticking.

Why does a "Legendary" prefix on a Battlerod corrupt my save if its in my inventory during saving? I tested it multiple times it breaks only if the rod is in my inventory and is legendary.

@Tron Cat
most likely a mod conflict

on my side i can use the shield of cthulhu dash without any problems.

Who drop Hearth of Millions please ?

can't find any info on internet and even recipe browser can't show me a monster (nor recipe) giving it

But yeah it was already an awesome mod before , and its even better now , i realy like the tension feature , also the tension damage only on boss as setting , its more fun to just hook on boss and doing nothing than avoid the boss IMO

Look like vanilla alternate bobbers (thing giving +10 fishing power) force the rod to send 1 bobber only

Dunno if it's intentional or not, but if the Guide to Environmental Preservation is in your inventory and set to active, the rods lose the ability to hook onto enemies until you set the GoEP to inactive or take it out of your inventory
Learned this after buying it from the Dryad so the rods would stop breaking plants and such while I'm fishing and fighting, as they have a damaging swing in front of them whenever they're cast (for some reason)
Other than that, super glad to play with an updated version of the mod, loved messing around with the og version years back

nice to see the mod revisited , it's one of my favorite modded class

Not compatible with Remnant from The Ancients : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2965458336
The bobber ticks all the time and sometimes ennemies get launched in the air
The issue come probably from their end tho.

noticed a bug where when your rods in hand, the Shield of Cthulhu doesn't work right. when trying to dash, your character just stops completely then dashes, causing hits and its just kinda annoying to deal with.

Tag class pls.

I'm having an issue where, regardless of the "stick" setting, my bobbers aren't latching to enemies, and therefore, the battle rods are just functioning as fancy modded fishing rods

how to craft a moraly rod and get hearts

By thew way, there is a bug that you can dupe crates by simply placing and breaking them

The cratest crate seems to be impossible to open
Great mod by the way

@Demo The Goat Take out Wrath of Gods and you should be able to use it I ran into the same problem and that seemed to be the mod for some reason

@Apple Juice Box I have the certificate, the crafting is still not possible. I can craft all other Certificate recipes.

@Rambo You use the Certificate Of The Master Baiter added by this mod.

Since I am unable to find any information on it, crafting the Morally Wrong BattleRod seems to be impossible. There is no crafting requirement along side the recipe and no information on what station to use to craft it. Is this a bug or where do you find this information?

i dont know why but my line instantly breaks when i try to hook an enemy, but works well with critters, the only mods that im using are the calamity ones (WrathOfGods, Infernum), and im playin multiplayer with a friend, the rare thing was, when playin single player the mod was working fine, but in multiplayer that weird bug starts to happen

any help please?

Would it be possible to switch from the old mod to this one or would it break my world?

@Kahmi While we did start work on a wiki before the release, we unfortunately do not have the time right now to make one with all the features. We will, however post some information on the basic concepts of the new batlerods on the "discussions" tab here.

If someone with wiki knowledge wants to create one for Battlerods, please come in contact with us so we can provide the data needed for filling it up.

Hey, was wondering if anyone was planning on working on a wiki for this mod? Or if there is an alternative way to figure out information about the mod? I know typically people like to play along with a info resource like myself. Thank you in advance, I plan on playing the mod soon. This is one of the best!

There's a really annoying bug when reforging battle rods.
If I roll any of the best modifiers, reforging again requires a ludicrous amount of money (like 40 plat), super annoying when my rod gets stuck on one bobber without discardables.

wait, are there armor sets for each stage in the game? I found starmix but i cant seem to find any other types of armor.

alright, thanks for the info, I'm prob gonna test this mod out with something like thorium then

@Chonken The mod was tested with many other mods, it doesn't break them.

Whether it outclasses any weapons I can't tell you for sure A we mostly tested the regular scaling up to Moonlord with vanilla weapons (usually Ranged or Magic), afterwards balance is relative right now.

You can beat all Calamity Bosses just with Battlerods as is... but the post Moonlord balances don't have much vanilla context to test with as you can imagine.

Most post Moonlord is different per mod, compare Calamity to Thorium to Homeward Journey, etc...

It doesn't feel under-powered I can assure you of that much.

glad to see battlerods still living and even growing. a wait im fine with my self.

Will the mod break if i try to use it with calamity, I know you said that it isn't cross-mod yet but what would happen? would it just be outclassed by regular Post-Moon lord calamity weapons (examples: Subsuming Vortex, Murasama, etc)

Hey, as long as it's in the plan, I'm happy to wait. I'd do it myself if I knew how, though.

Cross mod compatibility (with new rods and ammos) is planned for the future, just not the near future. Thorium and Calamity cross-mod is planned from the get go, as well as a Fargo's Soul for this mod, containing the base battlerod armor effects and a damage-based Soul of the Fisherman.

However, as I said, that is in the future. For the time being, we're in "maintenance mode", fixing any bugs you might encounter, and balancing anything that's still too out there.

It's been a long year with this release, so we are currently resting and working on something else for a change.

We do have plans to extend the base mod as well, like an extra armor at least where it's missing it, but that will take a while.

YES

BATTLE RODS ARE BACK!

Hey, maybe you can convince the author of that old Calamity battle rods addon that hasn't worked in forever to let you take over that project. Would be really cool to have rods with Calamity-themed effects.

Glad to see this mod back and better than ever. Keep up the hard work, and don't stress yourself!
I'd also be interested in assisting with graphics and maybe cross-mod stuff if you're okay with that.

Nice loved this mod thanks for balancing it and adding content
