snakeskin belt OP

Post by tetradigem »

the snakeskin belt is, as stated, a bit OP. mostly because the belts that ALL cost more to build, save the troll and poor mans belt, while they ALL have less carrying capacity. to make matters worse, adders are effortless to kill. got a cart? they might get 1 hit in before you run them over and kill them. got a clover and a horse? same deal. and since adders seem to be spammed all over every forest as would make sense for snakes, getting leather and snake hide is effortless. all it takes is 3 snakes and a piece of string and BAM. youre carrying every tool youve got with space to spare.

ONLY carry around 6 water skins? is that a joke? you shoudnt be able to carry any in the thing. youre lugging around 32Lbs of water on your hips? just bring a barrel in a cart wherever you go like any logical person.

6 water skins = 18 L = 18 kg or 39 lb
If people had the leather, it'd be 12 waterflasks = 24 L = 24 kg or about 52 lbs.

and just wait till the warriors start getting troll belts.

I can't use my shield if I'm lugging around a bucket for extra water so, yea, no, snakeskin belts are fine the way they are

Belt slots take one item, regardless of size. So it also would be 6 water flasks.

Roger that. Last time I opened a belt, it was a mini-pack.

Imo the issue here is that snake's "difficulty" rating is completely circumvented by the smuck mechanic. Like swans were previously. Fixing that would make the belt appropriate enough. Thread should be titled "snakes too easy to kill" :P

And how do you know the new carrying capacity of all of them? Or you just comparing new version of snakeskin belt with old versions of other belts? Pretty scientific... :roll:

Back on topic of this, the hunter belt, which requires metal to make, holds 6, the same space as the snakeskin belt.
