Zoura's Summoner Gear

Description
This is a fairly simple mod that aims to add some variety to summoner progression, as vanilla's can be rather lacking at times.

The mod currently adds several accessories, mostly focusing on differentiating the subclasses of the summoner class (though of course they can be mixed and matched).
For Whips:
- Leather Glove -> Studded Glove -> Stardust Glove
- Infernal Weave -> Hellfrost Bouquet -> Prismatic Fireblossom
For Minions:
- Swarming Bangle -> Commander's Charm
- Six Pack -> Whetstone Variety Pack -> Model Battleship
- Division Charm (+ Captain's Log + Signal Flare) -> Model Aircraft Carrier
For Sentries:
- Stolen Valor -> Soaring Heart
- Ballistic Shield -> Artillery Commander's Shield
For General Summoners:
- Forest Brooch (Bunny, Worm, Grasshopper Brooches) + Exotic Brooch (Scorpion, Glowing Snail, Dragonfly Brooches) + Hellfire Brooch (Hell Butterfly, Magma Snail Brooches) + Spectral Brooch (Black Scorpion + Faeling Brooches) -> Otherworldly Brooch
- Captain's Log
- Signal Flare -> Arcane Flare -> Signal Emblem

There are also three very powerful post-Moon Lord accessories. These are definitely out of scale for vanilla, but are designed to remain relevant into other mods' post-Moon Lord content. For whips, there's the Flower of Sol; for Minions, the Luminite Fleet; and for Sentries, the Vortex Monarch Shield.

There are also four permanent consumables in the form of craftable books.
For Minions:
- A Slime's Guide to Division of Labor (Post King Slime)
- Everything You Need to Know About Adoption (Post Plantera)
For Sentries:
- Proper Dungeon Defense Tactics (Post Skeletron)
- Celestial Monolith Style Guide (Post Pillars)

New to the mod as of v0.7 are "Devotes". This is a fourth class of summoner that aims to expand on the buff/debuff stacking gimmick found across other parts of the mod. Devotes are special, powerful minions that are limited in number, but provide regeneration and ancillary buffs to the player, while also adding their own tag debuff to struck enemies; think of them as "commanders" for your other summons.
Currently, there are two lineages of Devotes: The Eater of Souls lineage (corruption exclusive) and the Bee Queen lineage (jungle-related).
There's also one lineage of accessories specifically for Devotes:
- Devoted Heart -> Burning Heart -> Prosperous Heart -> The Commandment
(A crimson devote line IS planned, I just want to gather some feedback on the Devotes as they currently are. Sorry for those who prefer crimson worlds.)

The recipes for the craftables can be a bit opaque, so I'd suggest having recipe browser installed.
The Six Pack can be bought from the Party Girl, the Ballistic Shield can be bought from the Arms Dealer after beating the Old One's Army, and the Captain's Log can be bought from the Pirate.

A big thank you to BlockCrusader for helping me figure out the summon tag critical code. Go give his mods a look!

CHANGELOG (v0.6 -> 0.7):
- Buffed the Aircraft Carrier Buff's duration from 9 seconds to 12 seconds.

It was fun to use thanksss.

Though I think it's a little too unbalanced?

I managed to get like 6 summons before even facing skeletron lol.

I think making you should consider making upgraded accessories not not stack with their components to remedy this?

Just a suggestion.

It only adds craftable items, so there should be no issues adding it to a save mid-game.

I'm doing a play through with a ton of summoner mods and wanted to know if i could just add this ti my mods without having to create a new world? like does it change any generation or add any new ores?

I think the big issue with using summoner in modpacks is that no one can really agree on how to buff summoner. Mixing Thorium and Calamity alone gets you a ton of insanely powerful combos (to the point where I beat calamity using the Thorium Ragnarok Summoner Armor and Calamity Accessories, even before I made this mod).

The accessories in this mod are deliberately a bit overtuned to help with summoner having rough points and dry spells in vanilla Terraria (plus a lack of decent summoner accessories particularly in prehardmode); particularly sentry accessories since they're already in a bad spot overall.

That said, I've been starting to fiddle around with adjusting the power level of accessories (particularly pre-moon lord; the way I see it, post-moon lord is when it's okay for things to be above a certain power band) in the background, so we might see some balance changes when I get around to the next patch.

This mod is pretty rad, tho a tad OP in areas, I do play with a lot of mods so it may just be a me issue, but even with both calamity and fargos difficulties, I'm killing things a bit too quickly with the mod.
That may be a good thing for some people, but I'd like a bit more balance I guess.

It's crafted using 2 Star Cell Banners.
