Talk:Dark Lance

Removed deletion tag since the item is not based from a suggestion thread but from an official post including a video which displays the item in action. --Cloakedboltz 03:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Bug!?

Number Per World
Is it true that only one is created per world? This is the first I've heard of an item being limited like that. 67.233.110.169 19:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no idea, but it should be verifyable by map viewers, or if somebody delves into the map generation code, I guess... happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 19:49, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This is true. Dark Lance will only spawn in one chest in the underworld. The very first underworld chest that is generated will contain it and no others. --GauHelldragon 02:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The only map viewer I can find that sorts chests by contents doesn't seem to support the new items introduced in 1.5. 67.233.106.30 07:52, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Location?
I just recently generated a new small world and went looking for the lance when I found it it wasn't in the underworld it was in the cavern layer in a golden chest around 15 blocks above the underworld I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and was wondering if it should be reported as a bug on the main page. Thanks!

Damage
The shadow lance I have in my inventory is listed as doing 31 damage, anyone else have the same? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.106.149.178 (talk • contribs)
 * Are you wearing Molten Armor? The set bonus is 17% extra melee damage. Olrad 08:33, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This. Damage values listed in the tooltips are now the baseline of what you actually inflict (i.e., they include damage bonuses). There's a 15% variance now, of course. --Lunboks 15:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

That was it, now I feel stupid :P, thanks :)

RE Location.
After creating a new world with the 1.1 patch i found the Dark lance also in a golden chest. but at the beginning of the cavern layer far away from the underground/Dungeon. is this a bug or has the Location changed? (i also found cloud in a bottle in a golden chest in the cavern layer. Thought it was only in a chest on the floating islands...) Can someone else confirm this? ---Ray

Increases enemy Spawn rates?
Can someone take a look at the source code and see if the Dark Lance has any effect on spawn rates? It might just be me, but I've noticed a lot more enemies than usual when I use it for an extended period of time. I doubt it does, but might be something to check out.

 * It really doesn't change anything. The only change there may be is that when there are less mobs on the screen (because you kill them) they will respawn faster, so maybe you kill mobs faster with your new weapon, making them spawn faster. --Icke 20:01, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
