serpent scale armor (set)

[bacon]

ingredients:
serpent scales
chitin

spiny chitin helmet
blue-green scaly body armor and pants

12/14/16/18 armor
-2% movement on chest and pants

full set bonus:
+25% swim speed
+25 swim skill
immune to "wet" effect

goal: something else to spend excess serpent scales and chitin on. a mid-game medium armor set that improves amphibious exploration.

I would wear it :)
But i would change it and would put "wet" immunity in the helmet, just like the root armor helmet grants poison immunity.

I wouldn't mind a Serpent Scale & Black Metal combo for a new shield. An armour set would be good too, but I think they need to either up the spawn rate of Serpents in general, or add star variants to serpents so they are an actual challenge and drop more loot.

For chitin I wouldn't mind using them for arrow heads, a new spear, Armour/helmet parts or even a new drinking horn or new tankard type? we can make with Chitin & resin or something. Maybe even small adornments for building or something.

2 more that could do with a lot more uses is Ancient Bark & Obsidian.

also, maybe add a fist weapon that uses chitin, something which is basically swamp-level and can help you build fist skill before getting the werewolf set and claws. spiky chitin first claws.

Yeah I'de lose immune to wet, but all for more utilization of Serpent scales. Chitin is a very limited resource though, hopefully we will find a renewable source of it in the Ocean update

Also meant a 'round' shield when I mentioned Black Metal & Serpent Scales, probably should have mentioned that before. pierce resist & parry bonus or something.

Cloak should give the "immune to wet" function. That way its in keeping with the Wolf and Lox cloaks.

I think it's better just +25 swim skill buff and resistance to piercing attacks, like the scale shield. Also -5% speed movement per piece as any heavy armor is OK.

to add to this - the chitin fist weapon should be equippable in the water so that you can punch with it. you can already punch in the water, but this basically does no damage. making the chitin fists work in the water would be an interesting new element, since now you can fight in the water in melee, like serpents or enemies that tend to come in and out of the water, like skeletons or grey dwarfs.
