Extractinator bone refinement and ranged marksmanship reinforcement
Crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil using 25 Sturdy Fossil pieces, the Fossil Plate supplies 5 defense and boosts ranged damage by 5%. Sturdy fossils are obtained by feeding desert fossil blocks into an Extractinator, rewarding underground desert exploration with a dedicated pre-Hardmode ranger chestplate.
Ammo conservation set bonus and archery combat efficiency
Combining this plate with the Fossil Helmet and Fossil Greaves reaches 13 total defense, raises ranged damage by 5%, adds 8% ranged critical strike chance, and activates a set bonus granting a 20% chance to conserve ammo. This conservation effect preserves costly javelins, bone throwing knives, and specialty arrows during extended boss battles against Skeletron or the Eye of Cthulhu. When paired with rapid-fire weapons like the Minishark, this conservation chance prevents thousands of musket balls from being squandered during lengthy dungeon explorations.
Trivia
- Sturdy fossils used in crafting are refined from Desert Fossil blocks using an Extractinator.
- Wearing the complete fossil armor set grants a 20% chance to not consume ammunition when firing ranged weapons.
