Likes and feedback are both appreciated. I'm open to both positive and constructive feedback. Also, if you have any suggestions don't be afraid to ask.

Cool

Yes, the items should be less expensive. SIMPLE SOLUTION: Make 1 platinum coin produce a bar.

1 plat = 2 bars?

1 plat should equal like 5 bars.

This seems to be the next tier after hallowed. Might I suggest that you follow in on the theme of using all previous tiers to create the next? For example, require hallowed armor in the recipe to create the platinum armor, or possibly require the hamdrax to create the platinum hamdrax.

The point of this would be to avoid skipping ahead and becoming overpowered very quickly. A player may want to play legitimately, but will create a goldfish farm or chest farm and gain all of the platinum needed very easily, becoming overpowered before hardmode even begins.

I've been thinking about doing something about that but it bothers me that only one single tiny coin can be smelted into a whole bar. XD
Should I lower the price of the platinum bars or just lower the amount of platinum bars needed for every item?

I know exactly what you mean. In fact, that was going to be changed in the next update. Should I do this for the arrows and the bow too? If so, what should they be upgraded from?

EDIT- Nevermind, I know what to do now.

It depends what you're going for. I think it's great currently, it speaks to all the people still desperately playing Terraria, but having already gone through all the vanilla content. Look, something new to aspire to! On the other hand I would never earn all that platinum fairly and squarely to get them; if I wanted them, I would cheat. If you'd like people to actually use these as real alternatives for armor, you may want to change the cost.

Updated to 1.0.1
Made things a lot cheaper. If it's still too expensive let me know. I'm having trouble balancing things out here. It's probably because I don't know how much money people have these days.
EDIT- Also, full Platinum Armour glows in the dark. Ohhhh, Shiny!

I can see your reasoning for making the Artemis bow 2 points stronger, since it needs a harder to acquire bow to craft. However, I think this is unfair to players who prefer Apollo's bow. I think you should keep their damage the same, a Demon Bow is not THAT much harder to acquire than a Gold Bow. You kill EoC once and you can make it, and a player at that level would probably have a stockpile of gold bars. So, at this stage, it's equal.

Good point, I'll have it changed

Also, I noticed you only put up one platinum headgear. It might be a good idea to offer all three types of headgear, as hallowed goes. If I'm a mage, then it's more beneficial to use my hallowed mage's headgear. This stops me from getting the full set.

Also, just to point out. You don't need to make changes immediately as they come up. You can save up a few things you want to change and come out with a larger release.

Platinum arrows need to make more of per batch, 50 maybe?

With how strong they are, I think it's fine as it is now. Maybe there should be an option to make 50 but still keep the current bar to coin ratio.

In hindsight, 5 may be too little. 50 is definitely too much, imo. 15 would work, I think.

True say. 5 Arrows for 1 platinum coin seems really expensive.

EDIT- It'll be changed to 15 arrows per bar, just like cursed arrows

What bonuses do you want them to have? Just the same as the hallowed headgears, but better stats?

Why negate fall dmg and knockback when you already have 2 items that do the job?
The set bonus is really terrible for an expensive set of arnor.

Now you don't need to equip those two items (except wings, maybe), now you can place other accessories and even a menacing emblem or any type. This is really the most flexible set bonus there is, allowing you to change your loadout some more.

However, 3 armor pieces and 50% effect.
2 accessories and 100% effect.
the 2 items are better than the set effect.

I don't understand what you mean.

The armor makes up for any downfalls with its stats, and it will save you at least one accessory slot to place anything in.

But you'd already have a good loadout with the 2 and wear the armor for no reason except the defense.
