Draft 1
Weirdly Unique: The Soul Whip

The Soul Whip is a weapon crafted from Spooky Festival materials, namely Soul Fragments and Ectoplasm. Once crafted, it takes the appearance of a Fishing Rod, but its usage is anything but. When right clicked, it shoots a projectile that goes upwards for the first few blocks, then comes down. This scales off melee damage and benefits from enchantments, effectively making it a ranged melee weapon.

Unlike other weapons in SkyBlock, the Soul Whip is a niche. while it's not popular, it's used in various, weird methods across the game. One such method is grinding ghosts. Due to Ghosts stacking their damage the more of them are around, the Soul Whip has become a popular weapon in grinding them due to allowing you to stay safe from their damage while dealing damage to them. experienced ghost grinders may even sword swap while the projectile is in air with a high damage weapon like Giant Sword or Emerald Blade to increase the flay's damage even further. However, once grinding ghosts declined due to the reduction of Sorrow prices and better money making methods being introduced, so did the popularity of the Soul Whip. However, it would soon breathe a new life as a... mana restoring item?

That's right, Due to its flay technically counting as a Right Click ability, it works with the newly introduced Power Scrolls, once one applies the Sapphire Scroll into it, you gain free 5 Mana every time you cast it. It also synergizes well with the newly introduced Mana Steal enchant, which, when applied to a Soul Whip, can rapidly restore Mana when hitting enemies. This strategy is most widely used on the Voidgloom Seraph, where Mana is essential whether one's doing it the melee style or mage style.

Draft 3
Is the livid dagger good?

Most people say that the livid dagger is one of the best weapons for mid/endgame dungeons

For berserkers and other classes yes, maybe. But what about the other ones. Maybe you play healer or tank or mage. As tanks and healers use tend to use low damage setups then it can reduce the damage of what the real number is by a lot. For example, i only do 5.8k damage with a livid dagger. This test was done with necromancer lord boots and leggings, adaptive chestplate and mender fedora. Livid dagger has an average price of 7m coins. (Not in Dungeons)

To summarize all of this i think this weapon should only be recommended to berserkers.

Note : these prices vary and can sometimes go up and the damage also can go up or down depending on what skill level you are. Im around catacombs 20.
