Ichor bookcrafting and defense reduction streams
Crafted at a Bookcase using 1 Spell Tome, 20 Ichor, and 15 Soul of Night. The tome sprays a fan of three golden ichor streams for 7 mana per cast. Each stream hits for 30 base magic damage and 4 knockback at a Very fast firing rate, piercing up to five targets and applying the Ichor debuff for 10 seconds, which lowers enemy defense by 15 points.
Enduring utility and multi-class boss preparation
Golden Shower remains one of the most widely used secondary weapons throughout Hardmode, retaining value all the way through the Moon Lord. Reducing an enemy defense by 15 boosts the damage of rapid-fire weapons like the Megashark substantially. Players across all classes routinely keep it on their hotbar to tag bosses before swapping back to their primary DPS weapons. Mages should reforge it to the Mythical modifier to maximize projectile speed and range.
Trivia
- The Ichor debuff strips 15 defense from enemies, providing a significant damage boost to fast, low-damage weapons.
- Because each cast fires three spreading streams, sweeping the cursor allows players to coat entire swarms of enemies in Ichor quickly.
