Obsidian Outlaw set

[Sencored]

What is the purpose of this set? The armor rating is very poor (13 def) and it gives no boost to ranged damage, crit, or chance not to consume ammo. By the time you get obsidian ( after defeating Eater/Brain) you can make the coresponding set of armor which has a higher def. If it had some ranger boosting atributes it would be worth it, but I don't see the point right now.

It looks stellar

It looks cool

It looks great and you can get it at the beginning of the game if you manage to get a loom, a lot of cobwebs, and bombs.

u can get it easily within the second or third ingame day by buying bombs or finding them btw imo the people that say its for vanity theres that one developer armor set that looks like it but better so its only purpose imo is if u dont have a meteor landed yetor no pumpkin armor so its only rly for early game if u met most of these-------------------------------^ conditions IMO
'btw i dont get why the guy who made this discussion spesifically*** said why no ranged boost ik theres early melee armor pumpkn kinda and jungle but (imo jungle is better than meteor) ik theres not rly any ranged set before skelltron but do we rly need it in the end its an armor set that rarely gets usen*

Because if I was to imagine an outlaw, I think old west. Cowboys didn't use swords, and they sure as hell didn't cast magic. ;) Besides, there is plenty of magic boost sets early game and I count anything with a high def pre hardmode to be melee. We need more ranged love early game.

That really isn't practical though. You'd have to go all the way to hell or slightly above it, and by that time I always have enough ore to make a better set than that.

It has the same purpose as Pearlwood armor.
Just because.

Anyway, use it as vanity.

He is talking about building a small town of sorts and using the armour to do some sort of Bloodborne thing.

I'm glad we have a translator here. That made no sense to me at all.

As others have said, Obsidian can be mined with Bombs. If you're still on Wooden Armor then 13 defense for some bombs isn't a bad trade - it's best to find a natural obsidian generator of piles of water above piles of lava.

I don't know why it has no set bonus. I think it could go really nicely with the Stealth ability of Shroomite in the real-earlygame (perhaps nerf its defense quite a bit then to a measly 5 in return for 50% increased ranged damage).

The whole set is 18, are you implying the whole set should be 5?

That was a suggestion - you could nerf its armor but give it an amazing set bonus (something better than Necro Armor's 20% chance to not consume ammo). Either way, it needs a set bonus and stealth was just an idea.

No, I am not shooting you down, just trying to make sense of it. I could see this being a good idea though. 5 might be a bit low, and maybe make the stealth a little less effective (i.e. it doesn't keep enemies away as well and has a smaller increase to dmg), otherwise it sounds like a solid idea. My only problem with it is the "Outlaw" part in the name. Now, like I said, when I think "outlaw" I think of cowboys. I don't know if that is what the devs were going for, but if we were to take a cowboy aproach, what would be a good set bonus that would fit the old west theme? I guess outlaws went into hiding, waranting the stealth, but what are some other ideas? Mayby something to do with when you are mounted? Although, mounts are limited in prehardmode... could be a cool idea for another set though.
