Mint Mace

[CritterPlayer]

I finally managed to get an oven and cook up some mint, but can't find the mint mace. Do you unlock it through Burgl now? What am I missing? I've been going through a lot recently and am tired. I could be missing something obvious. I just can't figure out for the life of me what it is! Help!

Spoiler alert! The answer to this question requires spoilers. If you don't wanna know, don't look below!

I got mint from the little transparent candy container near the laser in teh yard center. You need the Level III hammer I think to chop them.

So it's candy mint, not plant mint :-)

There is no plant mint, but the mint blocks produced in the oven (created by baking mint shards) let you upgrade weapons to do "minty" damage, which does more damage on some, but less on other bugs...

I'm assuming you are referring to the Hot and Hazy update on public test, in which case, yes, you need to unlock the Mint Mace blueprint through Burg.L after acquiring one of the new Burg.L chips.

That’s…really annoying. I’m glad I’ve had mine for ages but still, sucks to be new person. So that means Ant Club is best melee you can get for extremely long time then?

Bless your heart! Thank you! Not sure how you did that thing for people that DON'T want a spoiler, but much appreciated!

pc, I started a new game. I'm not a new person. So when I discovered you can no longer get the mint mace the same way you always do, I was truly annoyed!

And y'all there are many ways to get mint now. But finding it was NOT the question. If you haven't dl'ed the test content yet, you'll see when it finally comes out!

To be fair, the Mint Mace is a pretty powerful weapon, one of the most powerful in the game, so it makes sense for it to be a bit harder to acquire (I imagine most tier 3 weapons will probably get "locked" behind Burg.L recipes, or otherwise made harder to acquire, like the Club of the Mother Demon and Salt Morning Star.)

It's a formatting thing, just use "[spoiler]" and "[/spoiler]" brackets (you can find a full list by clicking on the "Formatting Help" button attached to some text stuff on discussion pages and the like, such as when posting a response while quoting someone).

The Antlion Greatsword fills the gap a little and there's a bunch of decent one-handed weapons you can get a little earlier (salt morning star, black ant blade, bone trident, stinger spear) but when it comes to two-handed clubs pretty much yes.

Fully upgraded the Ant Club does nearly as much damage as the pre-0.11 mint mace though so i don't think it's too much of an issue. Level 7 Mint Mace is kind of OP.
