Armor / Shield Progression, more globs

[mdf25]

It would be nice if the armor upgrades would be a thing just like weapon upgrades. I had an idea for more globs too which would require more materials to craft and give some use to early game mats that see less use outside of food nearer endgame.

Like weapon upgrades, each piece of armor you wear (including shields) would have 7 total upgrades, the first five being quartzite shards, followed by a specialized upgrade for globs.

Levels 1 - 5: 10 - 50 % defense increase, 10 - 50% durability increase
Then at levels 6 and 7, you have a choice of items (Note that 'For armor' the value numbers would apply to the FULL SET of armor, not individual pieces, so if you mix 3 different effects on your armor you get the effect at 1/3 of the power)

Quartzite Glob: +15% / +25% defense, +10% / +20% durability, Mighty

Mint Glob: +10% / +20% defense, +10% / +20% durability, Fresh
For armor, gives resistance to toxic environments (maybe with mutation also, gives you complete immunity to toxic areas).
For shields, perfect blocking attacks removes all effects of stinkbug / toxic gas in an area for 10 seconds.

Salt Glob: +10% / +20% defense, +10% / +20% durability, Salty
For armor, gives player a resistance to explosions and bombs.
For shields, allows the blocking of bombs and projectiles, bouncing them back to the attacker if perfectly blocked.

Spicy Glob: +10% / +20% defense, +10% / +20% durability, Spicy
For armor, gives player a resistance to fire/scorching and sizzle effects (perhaps when used on Antlion armor, could give a sizzle immunity).
For shields, cools off scorching liquid if perfectly blocked and renders it harmless.
