The Moon Shell is a Hardmode accessory that can be crafted at the Tinkerer's Workshop. It combines the effects of the Moon Charm and the Neptune's Shell: Equipping it will turn the player into a Merfolk when entering water or honey (at any time), or into a Werewolf at night. The Merfolk form replaces the Werewolf form if entering water at night.

The buffs from the Moon Charm:

The buff from the Neptune's Shell:

  • Entering water with this accessory equipped transforms the player into their Merfolk form. While in this form, the breath meter will not display (nor will it decrease), therefore effectively preventing drowning. The player will be able to move freely in water.

Notes

  • If the Moon Shell is made invisible in the accessory slot, the character will not appear to change into a Werewolf or a Merfolk although the buff is still applied.
  • If equipped into a social slot, the werewolf form overrides the human form regardless of the time of day. However, this is only a visual appearance, and the player will receive no actual buffs or bonuses.

Tips

  • While the components of the Moon Shell sell for a combined 10 GC50 SC, the Moon Shell only sells for 8 GC (23.81% less).
