Variable Weapon Buffs and Debuffs

[Adder1234]

I recently started replaying Terraria, and I found a part of the weapon crafting system that could be used in this game. For those of you who haven't played it, there's a chance, every time you craft a weapon or tool, for that weapon or tool to gain a random debuff. Actually the chance is pretty high, but you can still get regular weapons. The buffs can include a slight increase to weapon damage, an attack speed increase or chance to cause a status effect. Bows could also get buffs, like increased range and reload speed, as well as damage increases. The debuffs were just the opposite, removing the things that the buffs gave.
I was thinking that the same thing could be added here, where every time a weapon was crafted it had a chance of either getting a permanent buff or debuff. The weapons were also named after their buffs, like a Sharp Bronze sword with a +5% attack bonus, or a Slow Bronze sword with a -5% attack speed. Some buffs could also give bonuses increasing certain openings, or improve certain attacks.
Anyway, it was just something I thought of.

The problem with debuffs/buffs like that is that they only matter for a very short time in early game.
Once people have access to reforging (or just a massive stockpiles of resources to keep re-crafting), everybody will run around with Daemonic/Godly/etc weapons.

Not saying that enchanted weapons arent cool.

if they did this, youd need wear on weapons and tools. and tbh, few people want to go into that shit...

Sounds good at first but rewards botting materials to mass craft thanks to the RNG element.

+1 if we can put Fancy Buckles all over us to make us better warriors than we should be able to stick porcupine quills on a sword for bleeding damage.

I have a weapon crafting system in mind, so, yeah. It'll be a thing at one point or another.
