Version 1.1

- Nerfed Damage from 75 to 70.
- Nerfed Durability from 100 to 60.

I decided to nerf it after a very good argumentation from Proctor[forums.kleientertainment.com]. Here is his massage:

"I would like to point out that the Thulecite Club does 59 damage and is made out of hard (if not totally impractical) to renew Thulecite, which itself is only found deep in the perilous Ruins level. The wiki notes that its chance-based Shadow Tentacles can cause variable damage compared to the Dark Sword, and there's a higher sanity drain compared to that weapon due to them. It is also crafted from an Ancient Pseudoscience Station only found in the Ruins.

The Dark Sword meanwhile is much easier to craft and does the highest reliable damage in a non-modded game (68), but has a persistent sanity drain effect. It requires not only a Science Station but the Prestihatitator and Shadow Manipulator.

Your weapon does 75 damage, has no downside that I can see, and is constructed with a renewable material from a Spider Queen that appears on the surface and isn't a particularly hard boss to experienced players (especially with traps). If the material drop rate is guaranteed then it's even easier to acquire. You also only need an Alchemy Lab.

With this comparison (I've not even mentioned the Ham Bat, with unlimited uses but spoilage to consider) I'd agree with hotmatrixx that your weapon is a bit unbalanced to have that many uses and such power. To summarize, it overpowers the Dark Sword and Thulecite Club for direct reliable damage and yet is safer to create compared to the Thulecite Club, and doesn't come with any drawbacks."
