Relic and Sacrifice suggestions. (minor Spoilers)

Read the whole thing for details on how I'm considering the effects, for a better chance at your suggestion being chosen.

The middle finger that had Will's lifesteal sickle is now empty, and the Stormfists are dwarfed in power by the Coiled serpent amulet, giving us two free finger slots.

The undead servant wand is still useful for their intended purpose, and the ring of accuracy is of middling usefulness in the right situation. (a better ring of accuracy might be on the table.)

So! We need 2 Relics that could take the place of the two relics in Phantom Hand that Will has lost or outgrown.

Notes: These Relics can and will be custom creations of Sourdough, so they can have multiple effects (2-3) from other rings or weapons, and decent stats, possibly creating an internal synergistic effect that would normally take 2+ soft-set items.

As an Example:

Will bakes a ring with a thorns effect in the ashes of a bunch of lifesteal weapons to create a lifesteal/thorns ring with high stats.

Ring of Invigorating Revenge

+12 Strength

+8 Acuity

+8 resistance

+15% Thorns

+3% Lifesteal

Once put inside the Phantom Hand, that would look something like this:

Ring of Invigorating Revenge

+37 Strength

+8 Acuity

+25 resistance

+47% Thorns

+9% Lifesteal

The intent for these Relics is to create some kind of Utility that expands his options, so things like healing, summoning, fixing things, messaging over long distances, creating shelter, You name it. anything that is useful and is outside the scope of the current Set Bonus.


As for the Sacrifices:

Aspect of the Immortal Serpent has 4 upgrade slots left, And Phantom Hand has 6.

That's a LOOOOT.

The most obvious one would be to add a faster healing effect to Immortal Serpent, but what eIse could we add?

Try to avoid suggestions that would completely cease to be useful if the Family Gathering Set Bonus were ever taken away. Will has lost two fingers in combat, and he is aware that someday the pinky finger (the one with the set item) may get destroyed.

That's going to weigh into his decisions when he chooses his upgrades.

For how to create the sacrifices:

Start with the effect. Say 'Add speedy regeneration to Immortal Serpent'
Then suggest a monster that exemplifies that trait:

Thornshot octopus: It shoots the thorny tips of its limbs at people and grows them back in seconds. can also regenerate entire arms and organs in minutes.

What else you need to know:

Floor 7 is jungle monsters

Floor 8 is undead.

Floor 9 is fae-ish (probably, this one isn't set in stone.)

Floor 10 is magical desert. Desert, but magical.

See if you can't match your suggestion to something he might encounter in these biomes.

Alright, Thanks for reading this far, and have fun! I'll go through this over the weekend and pick out my favorites.
