luminous mote balancing

[Limaximus Lamb]

please take a second pass over the balancing of the luminous mote. for an item that drops from 1% of all glowmoths (an uncommon enemy to begin with), it is severely underpowered, to the point where it will dissipate naturally from a player’s inventory before they ever get a chance to actually use it. it has the same light radius as the symbiotic firefly, the same penalty (destroyed when unequipped), as well as an additional penalty that it only lasts for a temporary duration. on top of that, it doesn’t offer any benefits like rep with insects (in symbiotic fireflies case), or even stat bonuses.
imo, an item so rare most players never see it shouldn’t be objectively worse than items that are far easier to come by. not to say it should be buffed so much that players feel like they’re missing out by not getting it, just enough that when and if you get it, it isn’t instantly made obsolete by lower tier items.
