Summary
None
Purpose of change
From the discussions on the devcord, it turned out that the tooth macuahuitl was doing more damage than even the best blacksmithed ones, with the only thing holding it back being
FRAGILE_MELEE
. For being made from a handful of teeth shards from a corpse duct taped to a plank, this was extremely generous.Describe the solution
Nerfed the cut damage to be on par with the steel scrap version
Describe alternatives you've considered
None, the fact that the tooth shards are supposed to be impossibly shard is the only reason this is a useful weapon in the first place. Just a handful of random teeth wouldn't compare whatsoever, while this STILL does more cut than glass shards.
Other people pointed out that it should be possible to instead use tooth shards in other uses where their durability and structural integrity doesn't matter that much, like arrowheads. I say sure, and I keep my fingers crossed those people add these arrowheads.
Testing
Additional context
I am a little suspicious of the monster teeth item additions now. First the tooth necklace being a weirdly good trade good, now this.
