Slime Standard: Re-evaluate Your Arsenal in tModLoader

Tired of your favorite weapons falling behind as you conquer tModLoader’s formidable bosses? Slime Standard introduces a unique system to keep your arsenal relevant, ensuring your most cherished gear always feels powerful. This mod allows you to re-evaluate your weapons based on the bosses you’ve overcome, effectively scaling their power to match your progression.

The Regal System Explained

Slime Standard introduces a concept called “Regals,” a numerical value assigned to every boss in tModLoader. From the humble King Slime, representing a base value, to the colossal Moon Lord, demanding a significantly higher Regal score, each boss contributes to a tiered progression system. Your weapons, too, are evaluated within this framework. By crafting and utilizing the specialized Obelisk, you can “inscribe” your weapons with the Regal rating of a boss you have already defeated.

Keeping Your Favorites on Top

The beauty of Slime Standard lies in its ability to elevate your existing powerful items without simply handing you endgame gear. Once a weapon is inscribed with a boss’s Regal rating, it is rescaled to that tier and adopts a title reflecting its new standing. Imagine a “Legendary Fleshy Terra Blade,” now imbued with the power befitting a challenging boss. This ensures that your most beloved weapons are never truly dethroned, always maintaining their exceptional feel.

Key Features of Slime Standard:

• Dynamic Weapon Scaling: Weapons gain a Regal rating displayed in their tooltips.
• Progression-Locked Obelisk: The Obelisk only offers bosses you’ve personally defeated, preventing you from jumping ahead of your current progression.
• Tiered Inscription Costs: Rescaling to higher tiers requires specific materials, such as Chlorophyte Bars for Plantera-tier upgrades and Luminite Bars for Moon Lord-tier.
• Preserved Efficacy: The rescaling process intelligently maintains a weapon’s relative power within its tier.
• Visual Feedback: The Obelisk’s glyphs glow in the color corresponding to the most challenging boss you’ve vanquished.

Crafting and Mod Integration

To begin utilizing the Regal system, you’ll need to craft the Obelisk. This requires 99 Gel and 200 Stone Blocks, crafted at a Solidifier. Notably, the Solidifier is a drop from King Slime, meaning you must first defeat this early boss to access the Obelisk’s capabilities. Slime Standard also boasts excellent mod support. With the Boss Checklist mod installed, any custom bosses you encounter will automatically integrate into the Regal system, complete with their own unique icons, ratings, and drops. Furthermore, extensive support for the Calamity mod is included, offering hand-authored Regal values for its numerous bosses, accurately reflecting their progression tiers and accepting their post-Moon Lord materials as payment for inscriptions.
