It’s actually a great substitute for weather pain against giant tentacle and woven shadows. Oh, and also those bird things during the lunar events

I honestly can't think of anything that could make this item better, because it just exemplifies how badly sea content was implemented.

Maybe they can be used against the Ancient Fuelweaver? I don't know if they can hit the unseen hands, but they can help clear out the woven shadows. Although at that stage weather pains are probably just better.

we need a seedshell launcher or maybe walter should be able to use them as ammo for his slingshot

I feel like the value of seed shells is that they're a byproduct of collecting something more desirable. Like, say you're doing a sea base in the early game and killing a few seaweeds at night for some easy food, the seed shells can be traded for sea birds to get even more food for the trouble, or can be used to get a bird for your birdcage without going to the mainland just to farm spiders. (Although how you got said birdcage without the reeds from a swamp is another story). They're basically free birds every time you kill a seaweed, you just have to go through the effort of throwing them at the birds. That being said, come on Klei, let us stuff seed shells with gunpowder for grenades.

You missed the fact that you can use them to put holes in boats! This can be useful against pirate raids if you have yet to get the cannon blueprint! Much cheaper than panflute fighting or cannons anyway.

Another purpose for the low tier items is that as a new player you might not know how to get a good item for insulation but know how to get the worse one it can definitely be helpful for those inexperienced

I feel like it'd be cool if they did their old damage, but we all know some walter main will find some trick with them, and make them way too op

That's still more useful than glommer's wings, which have literally no purpose

I straight up did not know that these existed.

Maybe for wortox players, you could put 20 butterflies and a seedshell into a bundling wrap for a "medkit". Although don't know about the timing on if you could pick up the shell and kill them before they move away

legit forgot this existed and i was comepletely obsessed with the game around the time it came out

I usually use them to label a backtrack watch to know what clock teleports me to the seaweeds so I can farm barnacles.

I think the intention is for it to be a type of boomerang substitute for when you are seafaring or doing a ocean challenge. For example, getting aggro from malbatross or a narwhale.

...I never even knew this item existed in my 300 hours of playtime.

i had a idea for it to be used by walter as ammo possibly

To me the most interesting part is stunning animals at range. I’m not sure it need to be a good weapon on top of that because that gives them a pretty unique use. Admittedly, it’s a pretty useless use at the end of the day and I can’t see it coming up very often, but I like that it’s mechanically unique. It gives the DST science nerds something new to play with at the very least

BUFF SEED SHELLS STACK OF 200 100 DAMAGE AOE RANGE OF BIG FOOT OLD BELL

Now now, we musnt have true ranged combat tools

seedshell is good for boat pvp as it makes holes in boats

Another reason why range combat is pretty flawed in DST!

Those puffy west and summer frest type tier 1 clothes are a joy to find from skeletons lol. They help a lot when starting a new world

The miss part isn't as relevant as you make it seem because it's really a matter of proper aiming. Instead the problem is in low range, it takes forever to farm, and above all else the damage is reduced below 25. I don't know what klei are thinking but I'd rather have a weapon than a weird capture device. Also, they deal 75 damage when plants use them so you know...

I think the only use they could give this item is being a building material for pearl, since they were added in the return of them quest line

gloomer wings and rotten flower are litterally useles

Not gonna i didnt even know these existed. Me and my friend decided to hit one of those once and they completely demolished us in 2 seconds and we swore to never mess with those mfs ever again

I wish they add a craftable sea stack or something to be able to move the sea weeds closer to land, everything from sea weeds is kinda useless cause even the foods are just ocean clones of easier to make foods. But if they could be put by the shore then they have atleast a decent use since you won't have to boat so far to find a decent cluster of sea stacks.

At least its "Useful" unlike Glommer's Wings which is Unstackable, lost its Solo Don't Starve Purpose in DST, and isnt useful for Fires since its outclassed by a million other things

i'd rather use an ice staff than this to capture critters, way easier to get too.

I remember my 1st dst world after playing a looot of ds I did not rush to get to sailing at all, and when I did attack a seaweed once I set off.. I just died xD Cause I didn't know anything about them So I would say that it's not an early game item, but it seems to have early game use. On the other hand, breezy vest, winter cap, cat cap and such are early game items with early game uses

With the new lunar rift beta, they’ve added an item that’s basically this but does 200 damage, so… prayers answered?

Spiky trees, they give you sticks and logs but can’t ever respawn. They have a use but it’s worse than twiggy trees and I don’t think I’ve ever bothered chopping them down

could you come back to this as the item has been buffed a bit?

it could be used to farm birds, but the question to that is whether or not there's a better method that is cheaper, and if there is another reason to farm seaweeds, then use the semi-useful byproduct to farm birds instead of making a farm. Edit: it may be useful for pvp as it could be easier to get than electric feathers when it's not winter. I don't know since I don't play DST, but rather DS.

For quite some time, the Iridescent Gem was the most useless item in DST. Of course, Forgotten Knowledge made it useful, but still.

The fencing spear

Basically a trap, but you have a different annoyance to deal with

I take close to 75 tallbird nest at the same point 😅😅😅🎉🎉

didnt even know they existed

I didn’t even know these existed !

can it be used to deter a moonkey pirate raid?

this is a great item for krampus sack farming

The only way this could be remotely useful is if it was a VERY early-game item, so you don't need to waste grass and twigs for traps and silk for bird (would be good for a cheap mf like me, I like to save every resource) But if you can build a boat, find and kill a seaweed, you're surely not early-game.

I didn’t even know this item exist💀

What about the costumes? They provide a slight wetness protection than can be found on even protective gear such as football helmets, making them literally worthless (at least in practical means)

I love the elder bog A song.

4:12 fire!!!!!!

I don’t think this was meant to be a weapon as it seems to just be a fun extra and probably has other clever uses we have yet to discover

WAIT YOU CAN STUN WITH THAT????

I had no clue this thing existed lmao

first of all they should let us be able to create sea rock so we can create farm for them more easily because sorry im not going at the far end of the see to get something that doesn't work correctly. I will get blowdart before that anyday. and i dont mind if the dmg is low but at least make it that it's consistant and not wonky.

TIL Seaweeds drop ranged weapons

What mods are ya usin?

bro this aint a chick this a full grown man bruh

As some one who hasn’t played survival dst in a year all I have to say is PVP

Well.... they make great decor when you surround farm plot edges with them Buy nah they're 100% useless. I wish they sank when they spawned from sea flowers lol

Let's be honest, is there really a use for the shell bells?

Ewecus:

30 damage, take it or leave it

I honestly just use em for battle royals with other people But they should at least do tentacle spike damage but that's the absolute LEAST I suggest But the actual true worst item is THE SCARFE AND ROBE FROM THE MID SUMMER CAWNEVAL now listen it is an absolute useless item because it requires tickets a SPECIFIC time and pretty big amount of resources in total for a SMALL warmth and don't know if it is a bug that has been patched or not it has for a little while now done NEGATIVE SANITY

68 damage is really too much i think 20 damage should be enough, and really, the stack should be bigger

This reminds me of the grenades in ror2. Theyre extremely good but everyone doesnt use them because „theyre too hard to use“ (aka theyre just bad at the game) This item really doesnt sound bad at all. And if you think of „they can just miss“ as a diwnside, youre just bad at the game.

idk what to say just commenting

Ah huh

Dst players when they have to aim

Worst item Wet Goop ?

I don’t think the people in the comments realize how rare non character specific AOE damage is…

höhöhö I am in a vid. ^^

bee mine is the worst item

Wdym worst, that item is mass hammer vs small creature, or mass aoe sleep dart its op item, 1 aoe throw basically net you free moggle 😄

Imagine be the mother of 100 tallbird 👩‍👧‍👧👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶

Yeah now please talk about the awful balance of Rockjaw sharks WHY IS IT A "HOARD MOB"??? and why can it deal more damage *unarmored* than actual bosses??? Edit: the reason I bring up sharks is seaweeds and rockjaws are the few things at sea that genuinely terrify me as a veteran sailor with rockjaw sharks being the only creature that literally defies all logic (update stopped sharks from rotating the world)

Seedshell are garbage

There is no even bow, crossbow or other normall ranged weapon in game for 7 years XD those stupids even dont upgrade the game normally - same in game for long time - years pass and nothing changes - of course when there are lots of noobs who will pay for garbage skin pack they will continue to catch them in same way

Wait your a gu-

Your opinion is very invalid
