Major Change Highlights

As for other big additions, let’s continue with some of the highlights:

• Added loadout equipment sharing! Favorite any equipment to make it shareable between loadouts!
• Dead players can now skip the respawn timer when there’s no great danger around them.
• All Boomerangs
  – Now fly back faster to the player depending on melee attack speed; roughly every 1% = 1.5% faster comeback.
• Mana has been reworked!
  – Mana regeneration delay completely removed.
  – Mana now regenerates even when attacking, at 5% of its normal rate.
  – Standing still now doubles the full mana regeneration rate, including regeneration from accessories. (roughly 20% better than it was in 1.4.5)
  – Increased mana regeneration rate when having low mana.
  – Mana-consuming weapons can now be used without enough mana, at 40% attack speed. The players squint their eyes when using magic weapons without enough mana.
  – Mana regeneration rate reduced by 13%
  – Mana regeneration potion (still) gives maximum mana regeneration rate at all times (As if standing, and as if you had full mana bar), but is now significantly better because it applies while attacking.
• All Whips
  – Can now Whip Stack when the proper accessories are equipped!
  – All whip tag effects are now calculated independently of their application order.
• Moon Lord
  – Added warning to several attacks
• Many NPCs will no longer fire at players when off-screen.
