So yeah, it seems there are two Helmaceous Park expansions: both concerning Aqualantis. First one is... Well, a clam boss by RaptorZ7:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62618Not much to say on this one except I'd like him to drop the Mithril set. I'd like to see the design of him, though.
The second expansion comes from Possum, which is this:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62618Seaweed and Fatbelly art was created by Thugpro. Seaweed is essentially Aqualantis's trees since kelp has grown to giant redwood sizes. Plus the stuff's tasty.
Which leads me to a gameplay mechanic I've came up with in part (because Possum started it): a new proficiency. What is this, you may ask? Culinary Arts. Essentially, it's where you'd actually make FOOD. First, the new shield that is required for baking pies.:

Yep. To make pies, you gotta bake food into this exact shield. It's as shitty for defending yourself as it is good for helping you heal. It would be dropped by monsters starting from the Green Walker and would have a drop rate of 35 in 10,000. Oh, and you can buy it from Shane Shield because Pie Tins are shields.
Here are some recipes for the new proficiency.:
Apple Pie: 2 Apples + Pie Tin; 400 HP
Banana Cream Pie: 2 Bananas + Pie Tin; 400 MP
Watermelon Smoothie: 1 Watermelon + 1 Half Coconut; 600 HP and 200 MP
Pumpkin Pie: 2 Pumpkin Slices + 1 Pie Tin; 800 MP
Pot Pie: 1 Turkey + 1 Pie Tin ; 1000 HP and 400 MP
Coconut Milk (see Consumables suggestion): 1 Half Coconut; 600 MP and 200 HP
Veggie Roll: 1 Mosselacanth + 1 Seaweed 1000 HP + 100 MP
Tuna Roll: 1 Fatbelly + 1 Seaweed 800 HP + 100 MP
Fugu Roll: 1 Puffer + 1 Seaweed 640 HP + 100 MP
Veggie Bento: 2 Veggie Rolls (Mosselacanths are Subordinate-rare, bruh) + 1 Wood Scrap Shield 2500 HP + 300 MP
Tuna Bento: 3 Tuna Rolls + 1 Wood Scrap Shield 2500 HP + 250 MP
Fugu Bento: 3 Fugu Rolls + 1 Wood Scrap Shield 2000 HP + 200 MP
Oh, and new consumable for being a cooking ingredient: Pumpkin Slices.

As for what leveling up does... How about this... 2.5% HP + 2.5% MP per level? Essentially, a Level 1 Turkey would provide 400 HP and 100 MP, but a Level 41 Turkey would provide 800 HP and 200 MP. My original thoughts were 2% per level and 5% per level, but I felt one was a little underpowered while the other is just flat out OP. Trust me, no matter whether you'll get shat on by Green Walkers or make Omega Fluffs get rekt, in the end your biggest opponent will be PVP Players.
There ya go. There's your gameplay mechanic.
