What does the Shiny Stone actually do? (specifically)

Give you 5 gold or more everytime you beat golem, that's what it does

One thing a friend of mine uses this for is simply leaving this in his vanity slots and tossing it on whenever he has downtime during an event or something. Gets him back in the fight much faster.

this would be a crazy accessory for exploration and mining in early-mid hardmode its sad they only give it to you in late hardmode

Shiny Stone is still nice to have in an vanity accessory slot so you can temporarily swap it in in-between fights for a quick burst of health unaffected by Potion Sickness. It doesn't even add any visuals to your character, so it won't ruin your fashion either.

I didn't even know that Feral Bite reduced life regeneration. I'm so far behind

To evolve several pokemon such as togetic evolving to togekiss. It's quite simple actually

In the adventure map I'm making, the Shiny Stone is one of the items the player gets in it, and it's obtained very early on. I found that it's a really effective way to make sure the player gets back to full health in between levels.

I always keep the shiny stone in one of the vanity slots and use it to regen after leaving combat so I can get back to it sooner, finding it most useful for jumping into and out of battle with pillars without waiting forever or splurging on the nurse.

Re-logic could easily make the shiny stone much stronger by making the standing still buffs half as effective when moving insted of completly removing them .

I like using it because healing back to 500 hp when you respawn takes a long time, so having it in my inventory helps me get back into the fight quicker

You probably shouldn't look at this accessory from the perspective of "how good against bosses?" considering there's a lot more to Terraria than boss fights.

This thing's lore is so much more complicated than its gameplay. I think this video melted my tiny little brain a bit.

one thing i found using dragonlens is that when using shiny stone and crimson armor it will regen at the same rate no matter how much health you have, this is unique because other regen buffs with crimson armor still only increase by 1 at a max rate, meanwhile with shiny stone and crimson armor it has no acceleration max and no number max (with 100hp it takes x time with 10000000hp it takes same time about. and another thing i found wiht this is that crimson armor multiplies/buffs shiny stone in some way.

its amazing in multiplayer if you can get your friend to take the boss away from you for a few seconds

4:03 What? Shiny stone is good in my opinion. Having it in social slot can help with regen in many scenarios where you fight regular enemies.

would be interesting if it primarily applied when you aren't moving, but can still be firing and if you get hit it doesn't cancel as long as you didn't move ((knockback)) giving it synergy with shields. (also, some noticeable affects while moving would be useful, though probably less. i'm also looking at the charm of myths and was earlier thinking it could be involved with (an upgrade to?) the ankh shield somehow due to affecting the potion sickness debuff and also being a charm, but it could theoretically be involved with the shiny stone instead)

it makes me sparkle :)

It is honestly pretty nice during events or multiplayer runs, where you’ll have some moments of reprieve from fights

Realistically, its best use is during the lunar events because of its sequential structure. A lot of people have already mentioned as well to put it in vanity for quick swapping, but I advise to place it next to a non-movement accessory so you can still dodge when needed. Just defeated Cultist and you're low on health? Plop that stone in and you'll be back in shape, ready for the pillars. Struggling to kill swarms? you can dip in, kill some until you're low health, then just get out of the pillar's range to heal with your shiny stone, and repeat until pillar is gone. Impending doom approaches but you're still sore and not ready? Moon Lord comes slow enough to give you time to get to your arena and rest with your shiny stone.

oh hey, turns out it might actually be useful if you could combine it with something, honestly surprising really though, good video, thanks for explaining this thing (it's in game description is a good bit vague) OOf
