Crystal, from OK to Bad. A warning to NEVER use Crystal on a highly upgraded weapon.

Here's what you know from the description:

  • Crystal damage bonus up to +33% from +25%

    • WOW, GREAT, it's BUFFED!
  • Avg uses until breaking up to 50 at +0, from 33

    • Hold on a minute! See that +0? The real formula is linear, dropping average hits by 10 for every 3 upgrades. And this is where things turned Crystal to the ultimate nerf of all time. The old Crystal did NOT get affected by weapon level, but now it degrades a weapon crazy fast.
    • +0, avg. 50 hits.
    • +3, avg. 40 hits.
    • +6, avg. 30 hits.
    • +9, avg. 20 hits.
    • +12, avg. 10 hits.
    • +15, avg. 0 hits.

YES, if you have a +15 weapon, slap on Crystal enchantment, that weapon can now INSTANTLY break in a single hit. (And yep, I had to test this in a modded game)

EDIT: I asked Evan and he confirmed it's a bug.

About to make poor decisions.

Ngl, drunk (close to my limit before blackout) and decided to play tonight (most likely a bad decision). Here's what I am running with and I will ascend.

Can I survive? What do y'all think? I will report back if I did or didn't and details on the death if I fail.
