Just like Diamonds, Gold also doesn’t have many uses other than being an ender chest filler. You only need around 2 stacks to completely never use it again, Unlike Iron or Emeralds, Gold doesn’t have many items you can or want to buy again. Iron can buy Fireballs, which are very useful for hitting long ranges with explosions, and Stone Swords which are usually good enough for the start of the game if you’re good at PvP. For emeralds, Knockback Dories are one of the best things you can buy with them.
My suggestion, is for another price changing update to change most of upgrades to Diamonds, or add more upgrades. There was already a more upgrade update, so I’m not going to suggest any. I heard Boomboxes would be added back to the shop, so why not make most of your Gold be spent on that? Boomboxes are more of a “buy and use” thing, but Diamonds, I’m not sure for now. Hope we see some more uses for Diamonds and Gold.
Edit: Most of my reasoning is because everything bought with Diamonds or Gold felt like they had the same level of usefulness. I’ll still say Diamonds and Gold could be used for Boomboxes, though. Also, my ender chest filled up with 6.5 stacks of Gold once.
gold buys:
-5 for 32 Planks
-20 for 1 Golden Apple
-10 for Enemy Alarm
-32 for Starting Sword(that is a terrible price)
-28 for Full Iron Armor
-32 for 1 turret
I like the idea of boomboxes, but each ore is useful. If anything, iron is worse cause the price ranges
16 blocks-5 iron
dragon breath balls-48 iron
Fireballs-64 iron
chainmail armor-20 iron
and that’s it. IT’s not an ender Chets filler either. Planks, iron armor, and a lot of stuff you can buy.
It buys arrows and gaps which are very expensive but are valuable. There is almost never any spare gold when I am playing with 3 other people.
Diamonds, late game however, is useless. I agree there needs to be more uses for them, like seeing the return of boomboxes or adding some other thing to give diamonds a use.
The main reason I said gold wasn’t bad was because it filled my ender chest once, and also it’s mostly a currency that focuses on one-time use things or things that don’t affect the game much. Turrets and Planks are good though, I’d agree more than half for your argument. Another guy said Starting Sword sucked, and personally I’d say the same but also with Enemy Alarm. Most of the time you’re not at base at all when it alerts. Yes, sometimes Iron isn’t good either, but Fireballs aren’t meant to be spammed at all. Dragon Breath Balls aren’t really good, but you could kill people who hide in 1 layer boxes from far away. I’d say Dragon Breath Balls should go down to 32 Iron or something, but I’m not good at judging that much either. I just don’t like some parts of gold. That’s all. Fireballs could also get a small fix.
I agree sometimes gold is useful, although one time I had more than enough with a whopping 6.5 stacks. This is one of the main reasons I said gold wasn’t that good, but maybe I just don’t see the use in golden apples. I will agree turrets are also pretty good, and so are Planks. My recent comment about saying diamonds weren’t good wasn’t improved YET, or never. (and yes i dont like starting sword cuz it only gives u wooden sword)
Iron has more of an underutilization problem if anything. You buy some wool before you get gold, and only use it to buy stone swords after that. And even then that reasoning is extremely loose. I have no idea where you got this idea (Get it?) from that this is an issue.
BUMP! We got a lot of new things for diamonds, being totems and potions, but we still do not have things for gold. In fact, we actually lost turrets making gold even MORE worthless! After you buy iron you almost won’t ever need to get things with gold. Voted, we need new gold items
I agree, diamond gkt updated but gold got nothing new. Maybe they would add some new items in season 3?
What if there was an arrow table for your arrows where you can do stuff to your arrow to make it better?
4 Healing 2 Arrows: 4 arrows, -2 gold (essentially 6 gold)
4 Poison 1 Arrows: 4 arrows, 4 gold
(essentially 12 gold)
4 Harming 1 Arrows: 4 arrows, 10 gold
(essentially 18 gold)
4 Slowness 1 Arrows: 4 arrows, 2 gold
(essentially 10 gold)
Four harming ONE arrows are 18 gold. That is an extreme price, considering you can just juke the arrows, build a wall, or use a healing item. It’d not even that OP.
Nonononono dont ruin wind charges
If were using gold 40-48 is more reasonable for a usage but I prefer @AJtheOtter idea of boomboxed more. My favourite would still be arrows tho lol
Because that takes too long to get. The reason I prefer 48 is because that’s the same as iron.
It does not!
If it ignored armor then why do so little people use them in their survivals or pvp servers? It just increases arrow damage, it does not remove it.
