.....

subtle tree
chilly ibex
#

Wdym

#

Why

subtle tree
#

so you need as many ingots as mbs needed for each part.

chilly ibex
#

...

orchid nimbus
#

That’s miserable lol

subtle tree
#

all you need to make neutronite is throw an iron ingot inside an assembled fusion reactor.

#

so break one block, throw several thousand iron, and close it.

#

but you will have an explosion that 1 shots you, and you'll irradiate the entire area

orchid nimbus
#

Again, Sakura dimension LOL

subtle tree
#

IM NOT SMART.

#

I THOUGHT IT WONT BLOW ME UP AND IRRADIATE MY BASE.

#

the evolution of minecraft is crazy.

modest tulip
#

Or you just wait for mobs to drop the blade, I’ve got a neutronite small blade from my enderio spawners

modest tulip
#

What should I build with this?

subtle tree
#

You might want one because it gives a 1024% damage boost.

#

but -80% melee speed

modest tulip
#

I have a neutronite small blade on my katana, I can’t actually melt the neutronite down these are the parts I found. I’m wondering what I can use the large plate for

subtle tree
#

Oog

chilly ibex
#

Idk what the stats are tbh so idk

#

Oh, yea hammer..more mining speed but melee damage is good too

orchid nimbus
#

I’d say hammer, melee damage doesn’t seem good enough to use over other things although I don’t know what supreme density or ionizing do off hand

modest tulip
#

What’s the best hammer you can make? Right now I’ve got a Osglas (whatever that material is) hammer head and 2 large plates with an activated chromatic steel tough handle

subtle tree
modest tulip
#

Anyone know how plastic works? Does it really give upgrade slots if you just use it a bunch?

chilly ibex
#

Those extra slots are good if you don't mind your tool not being very good

#

Imo, you're exchanging base stats for the exact same increases you'd get through adding the upgrades for that stat you want...

like rose gold has really shit durability but decent mining speed so if you use rose gold on multiple parts, you'll be spending multiple of those "extra" upgrades for the same stats you'd get from using different materials *which in this example would be durability

orchid nimbus
#

The only fringe case I can think of is if you ABSOLUTELY NEED like one or two slots to get to unbreakable

chilly ibex
#

That's SUPER debatable because you can upgrade your early game tool to an endgame tool without making one entirely from scratch so if you're swapping parts out, you're stuck with rose gold/plastic until you can get slots through upgrades without compensating

#

Not saying you shouldn't but it's recommended

orchid nimbus
#

This is also for like, super peak min max tinkers btw. Like end of the day make what you want as long as it does what you need it to, but also know a min max unbreakable hammer chewing through a 3x3 of stone like an efficiency 5 pick cuts through netherrack is very satisfying to see

chilly ibex
#

Vein hammer my beloved

orchid nimbus
#

I’m talking like, speed boost sprinting and the hammer keeps up efficiency

chilly ibex
#

Right

orchid nimbus
chilly ibex
#

I love vein hammer

#

You can't get disintegrate crystal on a regular sledge

#

If you get step height and just a bunch of movement speed, the cone shaped mining won't be an issue

orchid nimbus
#

Eh, I mean osgloglas with a voltaic crystal does what I need it to but I get what you’re saying

chilly ibex
#

Well, you can have osgloglas, voltaic, ACS/and disintegrate all on the same tool

#

That's like, the best vein hammer possible

#

Fortune 6 built in to the tool and a lot of base mining speed already, extra redstone upgrades are optional

orchid nimbus
#

Oh I have a silk touch sledge, I like not having to smelt for stone lol

chilly ibex
#

Disintegrate doesn't matter when you put unbreakable and you'll still have 1 or 2 slots left over for whatever

chilly ibex
#

Being able to get thousands of diamonds within mere minutes is beautiful

modest tulip
#

So are the upgrades you unlock with the plastic tied to the part? Like if I unlock the upgrades can I not swap the plastic out eventually?

orchid nimbus
#

You can swap it out, but you’d have to remove the upgrades

#

Say your hammer has 4 upgrade slots, you put on a plastic handle to add 1 and now it has 5 slots, then you use all 5 slots. If you want to take that plastic off, you have to get rid of an upgrade so you have 1 empty slot that can be removed

pulsar lodge
#

the bonus slots are tied to the modifier/trait effect, which comes from the part

#

so indirectly they are

#

it should be handled in the same way that base tinkers' handles it with Rose Gold and similar materials, as the extra slots are granted by the modifier effect directly

modest tulip
#

I see, and is there a limit to how many upgrades can be added to a plastic part?

pulsar lodge
#

yes, the limit is based on a configuration setting, which is set at 3

modest tulip
#

Ah I see. So probably not worth it then over the densium I have equipped now. Thanks for explaining

subtle tree
orchid nimbus
#

I made my tinker pickaxe from the moment I got my first way to melt ore and started with iron and a stone handle, it’s stuck with me the whole way

warm star
#

anybody got some good early game armor and weapon suggestions to kill the wither?

chilly ibex
subtle tree
#

dont quote me

chilly ibex
#

Needs to be 3x3x5 on the inside

warm star
#

well, followup question if that's so easy. any good pre-nether gear? should i just stick with diamond armor and whatnot?

orchid nimbus
#

Best prenether is pneumaticraft steel

chilly ibex
orchid nimbus
#

I dunno, prot 5 diamond got me my first dragon kill this pack

chilly ibex
#

must've been able to get really close for it to not use it's breath attack

orchid nimbus
#

I mean it was asleep so I got right up against it

chilly ibex
#

yea, luck

modest tulip
#

What are the best maile to use? Ended up doing neutronite for all 4 armor pieces

chilly ibex
#

chromatic steel is the best maille

modest tulip
#

For all 4? Thinking proctocite for the chest maile because it negates all harmful effects. Right now I got proctocite chest maile, chromatic steel legging maile and not sure of other 2

plain horizon
#

and fight it on the nether roof so it doesnt destroy anything of value and the arena is nice and flat

plain horizon
hidden lotus
#

could anyone walk me through what the best weapon available for me at my stage is?

#

i'd highly appreciate it

orchid nimbus
#

Have you used the search in discord to see if what stage you’re in has been discussed here before? What stage are you in? What mods have you progressed and to what degree? What’s your preferred playstyle?

hidden lotus
orchid nimbus
#

If I were playing the pack from the start again I would do a cleaver. Maybe blizz enderium and manasteel handles, manyullyn blade and blaze netherite large plate

valid pecan
#

can anyone give me expert mode tool and armor recommendations?

hybrid crystal
#

just extend a piston and then pick up the bottom half with a cardboard box

#

I haven't tried it in this pack but it usually works

#

because it's a vanilla bug but you use mekanism to make it easier to do

dusk arch
subtle tree
#

You make it using pneumatic craft. But it's a tinkers advanced item.

dusk arch
subtle tree
#

But if you're just going for the steel.. I'd say not wroth it.

dusk arch
subtle tree
subtle tree
#

It drops from the harbinger.

#

You can beat that guy with speed and range damage.

dusk arch
#

the witherite ingot to combine with engineer's pants

#

and the rest of the pieces

subtle tree
#

also... Armor won't do much for the harbinger because he does so much damage that it doesn't matter.

#

Like, he will 1 shot you with some attacks.

dusk arch
#

i see

#

pretty lost on what best to do next then i guess

subtle tree
#

Most catac bosses get stomped on if you're not on the ground, or are too fast.

dusk arch
#

finding that direction from pre-nether is the hard part 💔

subtle tree
#

pneumatic suit

#

Not biased BTW!!

dusk arch
#

what is the pneumatic suit? i cannot find it

subtle tree
#

Pneumatic armor.

#

PNC.

#

Chest plate leggings and the likes.

#

Which are deeeep in pneumaticraft

chilly ibex
subtle tree
chilly ibex
#

i guess but 1 shots are a general "any boss can do this" kinda thing

subtle tree

#

could somebody teach me how to read the spreadsheet for tinkers? i've look at it multiple times but never quite grasped how you're supposed to navigate through it

chilly ibex
#

it's just like reading any other chart

hidden lotus
#

now, i might just be braindead for spreadsheets in general or i might just be it for this specific spreadsheet

chilly ibex
#

the tabs at the bottom are pretty self explanatory

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

based on the stats...? traits are important too

hidden lotus
#

either way, now that YOU out of all people are here (you're pro at like everything as far as i've understood) maybe you could point me in the right direction? 😁

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

bruh....idk how to help you read the spreadsheet

#

just look at the material names and then at the top are the individual stats

hidden lotus
#

don't teach me how to read the spreadsheet 😹

chilly ibex
#

first you said you were having trouble navigating it, now you're saying you don't want help reading it.....

hidden lotus
#

so far from looking more at the spreadsheet i was thinking of making something like a hepatizon hammer? idk how materials for the handle and stuff interact with the rest of the tool tho

chilly ibex
#

the point of tinker's is experimentation, also stop pinging with every reply

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

different parts have different stats but the traits remain MOSTLY the same with some exceptions between tools and armor

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

probably just focus on mining speed since hepatizon's mining speed by default isn't anything special

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

yea it's the best for when you get to the nether but there's better options you can get soon after like osgloglas which has iirc the 3rd hghest mining speed?

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

doesn't sound too bad

hidden lotus
warm star
#

What's a good expert mode set (armor and weapon)? Just got to the great beneath.

modest tulip
#

Is there any ability for creative flight for tinkers armor or just the elytra?

pulsar lodge
subtle tree
#

there's only creative flight for he.. who can fly creatively...

modest tulip
#

Anyone know what fortune level is added for proctocite?

#

Nvm it’s in encyclopedia

hidden lotus
#

anyone got a decent melee weapon i can make?

#

i have access to netherite/ancient debris but not osmium (@ expert mode)

hidden lotus
# orchid nimbus <:this:451081265467359253>

oh, nice! i don't really have access to blizz enderium yet so i might just put blaze netherite as a handle and a large plate. is there a reason for the manasteel? as far as i could see it didn't provide with too much damage boost and the repairing is already fixed on its own with the blaze netherite and its trait allowing to repair the tool in lava, no?

orchid nimbus
#

Mana steel repair is a lot quicker than blaze netherite

#

Realistically I’d say fluix if you can make that and have the charger set up

hidden lotus
#

could you also perhaps specify the modifies for it as i really struggle knowing what i SHOULD prioritize every time.

modest tulip
#

I would use stone or another cheap resource for the head until you get more resources. I used a stone hammer with the best materials I had for the other parts so that it was quick mining but I could repair it with stone

orchid nimbus
#

Prioritize sharpness, and that’s why blizz enderium is good it gives it a nice damage boost

orchid nimbus
orchid nimbus

Because they spawn in the overworld?

#

The mob

hidden lotus
orchid nimbus
#

Anywhere in the overworld that’s considered icy I believe

hidden lotus
#

is there some kind of hammock or something in the game that can turn day into night?

modest tulip
#

Not sure about that, but you can use Ars Nouveau and Occultism to change the weather and stuff

chilly ibex
dusk arch
#

is the consensus for expert still activated chromatic steel armor? or is blaze netherite better?

dusk arch
hybrid crystal
hidden lotus
#

what materials gives an additional abillity slot?

#

or upgrade slot

#

either one, i know there is the draconic modifier for a slot but materials?

hybrid crystal
#

but both give upgrade slots

hidden lotus
chilly ibex
#

blaze netherite will never be better though

dusk arch
chilly ibex
#

iridium

dusk arch
# chilly ibex iridium

isnt chromatic steel basalz signalum, blitz lumium, blizz enderium and blaze netherite?

chilly ibex
#
  1. i'm literally watching discord
  2. blaze netherite was replaced with iridium a long time ago
dusk arch
#

then i guess literally every expert armor suggestion in this thread is outdated :/ what's the consensus for expert armor then?

chilly ibex
#

still relatively the same

#

blaze netherite + blizz enderium

#

PNC armor gets you through early and most of mid game though

dusk arch
#

i see, thanks

#

im more looking to play blaze netherite until the technomancy mage one from that boss i forgot the name of

hybrid crystal
#

because mobs drop the armors/tools you can dissasemble

chilly ibex
#

i...guess? but the chances of that are insanely low...

#

to say you CAN get them in normal mode is pointless

hybrid crystal
#

Not really, just setup a cursed earth farm and you can get the sfuff in a couple hours

#

the main pain is just sorting through all the gear

#

I got my neutronite from a mob farm

#

aswell as all the dragonsteel I have

#

which was more than enough to make dreadsteel armor 4x over

dusk arch
hybrid crystal
#

I don't run it 24/7 anyways

#

it's too many mobs when you speed it up with redstone pulses

dusk arch
#

i see, do you just turn it off with a redstone lamp or something lol

hybrid crystal
#

I feel called out

#

*Yes that is exactly what I do

#

Also just be sure to put the off switch a bit away because the mob quake will kill you through walls

#

because its fun like that

dusk arch
#

bet, thank you

#

do you push them with fans?

hybrid crystal
#

nah, I tp them with an ars portal

#

as soon as they spawn

#

here's what it looks like without shaders, the shaders make the portal invisible

dusk arch
#

ooh, interesting

trail falcon
#

what tool binding should I use? I have no access to space so i can't make the matter dismantler or whatever
i have the hepatizon tool handle and electrum pickhead

summer quiver
#

p

subtle tree
#

the p tool binding

sudden sierra
#

hi, i'm wondering if it's worth making tinker's tools when i already have enchanted netherite, i've never used tinker's before and JEI is showing the damage will be lower on most tools i think i can make at this stage (expert)

orchid nimbus
#

With the abilities and modifiers tinkers gives weapons and tools, tinkers stuff blows anything vanilla out of the water

sudden sierra
#

Thanks! I'll have a play around see what I can make

orchid nimbus
#

There’s plenty of advise and builds posted here if you need help

orchid nimbus
#

Tool binding for what, pick head make me think pickaxe but it’s never specified. Also, are you wanting a pick for silk touch? Fortune? General tunneling? Tool binding, if I’m remember correctly, only gives the material modifier so intended use changes any potential answer

dusk arch
#

is it wise to do a different maille on each piece of blaze netherite armor?

#

such as, blizz enderium maille on one piece, basalz signalum on another, blitz luminum on another, for all the different buffs? or is there a downside for doing this

tough sluice
#

Isn't heavy armor with prot 4 better than blaze netherite?

orchid nimbus
#

Couldn’t tell you offhand for sure, but you may as well get the tinkers armor and upgrade it when you’re able since the abilities you can put on it are really good and in the end, cataclysm bosses are gonna basically one shot you either way

chilly ibex
#

also people don't use blaze netherite for the plating..they use it for the maille

#

the only thing i've seen COMPARABLE to tinker's is the pneumatic armor set...

subtle tree
#

im a literal fiend.

#

I smell whenever pnc is mentioned

chilly ibex
#

me whenever ars is mentioned:

red wren
#

is there a easy way to find draagons

#

just got to the nether aand iev been running around for hours and havent found one yet

chilly ibex
red wren
#

i know theyre not inn the nether was just saying that as to where im at in the game. i ran around the overworld for hours and found none only one skeleton

orchid nimbus
#

They’re just pretty rare

dusk arch
#

what's the point of using it for maille? isn't the whole idea behind using it as plate as it's self repairing, and you still want to use the enderium/basalz/lumium maille for the buffs

#

the fact that it also gives you the netherite upgrade on it without taking an upgrade slot is nice aswell

remote gyro
#

What are yall using for mining in expert mode?

subtle tree
#

a drill

valid pecan
#

since this is the tinkers thread, then matter manipulator

remote gyro
orchid nimbus
#

Throw osgloglas in there somewhere, it’s really good for mining

obsidian oyster
#

so is the best expert mode armor blaze netherite maille with blizz enderium plating rn?

orchid nimbus
#

Yeah pretty much. Only real step ups from there is dragon steel plate and chromatic maille

obsidian oyster
#

why not netherite plating with blizz enderium maille?

#

and what abt weapons should i go with a cleaver or dual wield daggers or something

orchid nimbus
#

Oh wait I didn’t realize what order you put those in. Yeah blaze netherite plate and blizz maille

obsidian oyster
#

gotcha

orchid nimbus
obsidian oyster
#

with redstone or something else

#

and are you still able to add extra upgrade slots or no

orchid nimbus
#

That being said that’s for “biggest dps number” sake, as long as you do enough damage to kill the thing before you die use whatever

orchid nimbus
# obsidian oyster with redstone or something else

Oh no no no, NEVER put attack speed upgrades on the cleaver itself. The natural scaling on tinker cleavers makes any attack speed upgrade basically worthless. Cleaver upgrades are 100% sharpness, then whatever else makes the damage number bigger

obsidian oyster
#

i see

#

what other options are then

#

spells?

orchid nimbus
#

There’s other mods that give you attack speed that doesn’t suffer the curse of tinker scaling, like the skill tree. There’s some spells I think that give you temporary attack speed up at well

obsidian oyster
#

awesome

#

ok last question what materials should i make the cleaver out of

#

is there any outstanding materials

orchid nimbus
#

Same as the upgrades really, whatever makes the damage number higher. If you search cleaver in this chat there’s some good builds

obsidian oyster
#

gotcha

#

thank you so much you have saved me literal hours of research

orchid nimbus
#

No problem, I’ve been using tinkers since its earliest release I don’t mind helping out

obsidian oyster
#

last time i played was before tc3 and its changed soooo much

orchid nimbus
#

Yeah tc3 changed a lot, but there’s enough still the same that I make due

subtle tree
#

Relatively cheap weapon for early game!!

stark dagger
#

any recommendation for material to increase durability on normal mode for a sword?

chilly ibex
chilly ibex
#

No, it's emerald with obby for reinforcement..I was thinking melee prot

stark dagger
#

ok ty

obsidian oyster
#

whats the easiest way to melt blizz enderium?

orchid nimbus
#

Like, melt it in the smelter or make the alloy

obsidian oyster
#

melt in the smelter

orchid nimbus
#

Because melting it in the smelter I believe just takes blazing blood

obsidian oyster
#

apparently its not hot enough

#

i need at least overheated lava

orchid nimbus
#

Yeah that’s right, my bad. It’s honestly not bad to make though, and you can reuse the slime to make more

obsidian oyster
#

yeah

stark dagger
#

should i change my pickaxe binding to enchanted alloy for the veinmining effect or should i change it to rose gold so that i can get an extra upgrade slot to put a lucky effect on it?

#

i dont have more upgrade slots

orchid nimbus
#

If it’s between those two only, enchanted alloy 500%

stark dagger
#

ok ty

orchid nimbus
#

Personally, I have the pickaxe with vein miner and fortune, and its only use is mining ores. If I need to dig a tunnel I use my high mining speed silk touch hammer and if I’m going to be clearing a large area I use a mining laser

stark dagger
#

yeah i use both a hammer and a pickaxe

subtle tree
remote gyro
#

What's good end game armor materials?

subtle tree
#

if you awnt end game armor just mek suit 😭

chilly ibex
#

mek suit suuuuuuuucks

#

PNC armor is the true mek suit

subtle tree
#

i agree

remote gyro
#

i am using a split of iron's spell armor, probably using just a tinkers chestplate just so i can throw ringbearer on it and get two more mechanical braces

#

I am not sure what is early end or end game end game. I have mekanism up to antimatter and stuff like that

obsidian oyster
#

any reccomendations for upgrades in for armor other than revitalized?

orchid nimbus
#

Melee protection, other than that whatever fits your play style

#

I like having step up on my armor, and a bit of movement speed. Plus there’s the classic water breathing on the helmet

obsidian oyster
#

how do i bind an osgoglas tinkers weapon to a storage terminal from integrated dynamics?

subtle tree
#

poverty

subtle tree
#

you dont need to bind it to a terminal

bronze raven
subtle tree
#

You toss the ingots into the fusion reactor and it'll insta kill you after you assemble it.

#

Just place it in the sakura dimension.

#

And have a totem on you, and wear a hazmat.

#

I made the mistake of having it near my base.

#

And killed all of my insane spell casters

bronze raven
subtle tree
#

And all Neutronite ingots amount to 1 mb of Neutronite, so you'll need hundreds for the part you need.

chilly ibex
#

not hard when you can get thousands within minutes if you mine raw ores with fortune and then smelt it all down to double

bronze raven
#

God bless u🫡🫡🍻

trail falcon
#

i need an expert mode tinkers weapon to make 🥲

#

this is my pickaxe btw

chilly ibex
trail falcon
#

shrug-- nevermind i might quit the mod since my frames started dropping

chilly ibex
#

you mean modpack

lyric coyote
#

Does anyone use oversime on tools? Tried doing some stuff with cinderslime/queen slime combo, and it just seems to convert way too slow to be useful

orchid nimbus
#

I rather just use a different material with a better modifier and just deal with repairing

#

If anything just use fluix to repair in an AE2 charger, or the ars Nuevo modifier that slowly auto repairs, I think the ability is called novice but I don’t remember the material

lyric coyote
#

Disappointing, bring back moss! TY for the info

orchid nimbus
#

Mending moss was always kinda lame imho, I always liked finding different ways to repair and saving the slot for something cooler

lyric coyote
#

I'm all about the convenience of not needing to carry repair materials :p

#

guys, for end-game, wich one is stronger, the meka or pressurized armor ?

Anyone have suggestions for Expert mode daggers materials and modifiers?

tinker contuct

obtuse breach
#

What's a good beginner armour pre nether

chilly ibex
subtle tree
#

steel for pating

sonic wyvern
valid pecan
chilly ibex
valid pecan
#

why'd they do that

chilly ibex
#

it's not the dev's fault

#

i think

#

it's because of cataclysm bosses

valid pecan
#

oh

sonic wyvern
#

Wait what? I'm confused, why?

orchid nimbus
#

Mek suit has really high armor values, but cataclysm bosses (a big chunk of the required bosses) naturally bypass most/all armor and armor toughness

#

That’s why tinkers armor is so good, on top of being good armor against normal fights you also get abilities and upgrades that help offset the power of cataclysm fights

valid pecan
orchid nimbus
#

Couldn’t tell ya, I’ve never touched it

waxen thicket
#

just made a blaze netherite plate and blizz enderium set what modifiers do i put onto it? i know nothing abt tinkers so help is appreciated

orchid nimbus
#

Revitalized and melee protection are must haves, other than that whatever fits your playstyle

chilly ibex
#

yea, extra health is pretty much required if you fight bosses

fickle barn
#

think this would be anything good?

kindred mountain
#

Anyone got suggestions for an excavator? Matter Manipulator is too good and only gives me flint from gravel, instead of gravel

orchid nimbus
#

How far in are you? Either something that mines decently fast and is easy to repair or make it really fast and unbreakable

kindred mountain
#

Shoulda mentioned, yeah. Master Mode.

#

Looking for something fast and unbreakable

chilly ibex
#

Pretty sure mattock is like 2 or 3 tools in one yea?

kindred mountain
#

Mattock is a farming tool, axe, shovel combo. But an excavator is a 3x3 for dirt/gravel/sand.

chilly ibex
#

if gravel is what you need, silk prevents flint

kindred mountain
#

Is shovel AoE a tinkers or an enchant?

chilly ibex
#

we are talking about tinker's right?

#

i would've specifically said non-tinker's

kindred mountain
#

Yes, tinker's. I just didn't know there was a shovel aoe ability/upgrade.

chilly ibex
#

there's upgrades to increase mining aoe

kindred mountain
#

I'll look it up. Any reccs for tool assembly?

chilly ibex
#

whatever you want ig if you're just wanting gravel?

fickle barn
chilly ibex
#

i used daggers with rage glove and it was pretty funny

#

do i think they're GOOD though? ehhh

#

adam made a change to the base damage for daggers, almost halving it...

fickle barn
#

Katan better? Looks like they use the small blade too now so could use these 4 pieces of irradium for a blade

chilly ibex
#

why would you do full irradium instead of a variety

fickle barn
#

Obv not fully just 1

#

I have 1 voltai rod and the irra blade, can probs get enderium for 1 part and idk about fourth

chilly ibex
#

chromatic steel?

fickle barn
chilly ibex
#

blade, because voltaic is the only thing you need for handle

fickle barn
#

Ah so ig irra and chrome blade with voltaic and ender on handle

chilly ibex
#

yea

kindred mountain
#

With the Annihilate trait, which deals Explosion damage, is that just a type change? Or does that create an explosion on impact?

drowsy jewel
#

so, at nether, pre great below:
armor - blaze netherite plate + blizz enderium maille
weapon (im using katana, i like attack speed) - blaze netherite blade + blizz enderium blade + ??? handles

#

what abilities / upgrades should i use, also?

#

this is questions i have after digging through chat history to the best of my ability

orchid nimbus
#

Armor should almost always focus on revitalized then melee protection before anything, I personally use cleaver not katana so I don’t know the specifics of it but probably hard focus on sharpness and then attack speed. There’s enough ways in the pack to perma increase your attack speed though that you may be fine not putting it on the katana

drowsy jewel
#

what're the best ways to increase attack speed outside skill tree? i haven't run into any

sonic wyvern
#

There are quite a few curios that allow for it. Spitballing here, but try NEI search something like "attack speed -$weapon -$tool"

#

I can't access the game right now, but I'm assuming that $weapon and $tool will register correctly. If not, try listing off a few things by name like Axe, sword, etc. idk

#

I know that the Epic tier "Sun Stone" and "Moon Stone" charms give drastic buffs (including a flat +4 damage and +1.0 atk speed). It's the same item, but each only affects you in either day or night respectively.

#

There's also a curio for your hands that flat boosts attack speed by +0.2

I haven’t touched the pack in a bit but I also believe there’s a decent amount of attack speed buffs in the skill tree

sonic wyvern
#

Actually, now that I think about it, syntax will probably be better as "#Attack Speed #Slot:" since weapons and tools don't have a slot designatiom

drowsy jewel

#

Oooh I forgot about irons, yeah that spell carried me for a bit

sonic wyvern
#

If you push the efficiency% on the Secret Ingredient (or it's respective upgrades) from Majruz's Accessories, you can get a +2 tier bonus to potions. You can use this to make Potion of Strength 4, for +12 damage. And then I think you can make a sophisticated backpack auto-feed you them

#

It's a trick I plan to use for future bosses

#

Some guy in here managed to actually make tier 6 and 7 instant damage splash potions which were basically instakillers, so that was funny

#

I think it might be possible to make Strength 5 splash potions actually, I gotta test it.

sonic wyvern
#

@MajruzsAccessories (I think I spelled correctly) is basically all the items shown at the bottom of the quest book under "Trial of the Soul." I'm 14/15 maxed and just need to breed a few hundred animals to basically make a Perfect Soul of Minecraft... Although that's a lengthy process that I don't recommend unless you either really like fishing (I did), or side quests.

orchid nimbus
#

All this to say, pulling things back to tinkers, that I prefer the cleaver since it’s only real downside (attack speed) can be mitigated and even ignored outright

sonic wyvern
#

Trueee

#

That's why I'm abusing broadaxe lol

orchid nimbus
sonic wyvern
#

That glitch was very funny to discover firsthand

orchid nimbus
#

It gets a little annoying when hand feeding them but overall pretty funny

sonic wyvern
#

I made 10 Perfects of them out of boredom before finally now just trashing them all

drowsy jewel
orchid nimbus
#

It’s my favorite, you’re doing really good damage per hit and with the attack speed from other sources you swing fast enough to, last I tested, our damage the other tinker melee options

#

Plus again personal bias lol

chilly ibex
drowsy jewel
chilly ibex
#

silver is a high recommendation for wither since it increases damage against undead mob which is literally 90% of the entire game

drowsy jewel
#

gotcha

chilly ibex
#

i don't remember if the trait stacks...if not, steel is a good mix-in with silver just for extra base damage

drowsy jewel
#

silver/steel blades, blizz + blaze handle? is it any different for cleaver (save replacing a blade with a plate) and is cleaver normally just flat out better?

chilly ibex
#

cleaver and katana are interchangeable as of right now

#

you'll get higher base damage with the cleaver but more attack speed with katana

drowsy jewel
#

gotcha

#

im most of the way to blaze and blizz (short some blizz powder), and ive plenty of silver and iron laying around

#

what's good in the way of abilities to put on weapons? i know everyone said melee prot and rejuvenate for armor

chilly ibex
#

just throw diamond or emerald and netherite with tons of quartz

#

if you have blizz enderium, i HIGHLY recommend trying to add fiery because blizz enderium deals increased damage against burning targets

drowsy jewel
#

gotcha

#

welp! time to go find a bunch of netherite and cobalt

#

before i forget, are blizz spawns for the blizz enderium rare? where could i find em?

drowsy jewel
#

ah, they're overworld spawns?

chilly ibex
#

yea..

sonic wyvern
#

Is the chromatic steel possible pre-end?

chilly ibex
#

you need iridium which...is end only

sonic wyvern
#

Damn, it looked like such a fun material to build with rip

kindred mountain
#

Question of opinion. Maxing out my new armor. Would people prioritize Reach or Strength abilities for chest piece?

sonic wyvern
#

Does the Strength just give the potion effect? Cause if so, you can automate that in other ways. And is the Reach just for blocks, or entities/attacks too?

kindred mountain
#

Strength is a 10% attack damage buff to all weapons, 2 level max

sonic wyvern
#

ooo

#

Then, the second question is a lot more prevalent

#

Because being able to attack something at a range before it can even touch you, is arguably 10x more valuable that hitting harder... Cause it might already be dead before it reaches you at range lol

kindred mountain
#

"Increases the maximum distance from the player this tool can mine, place blocks, and attack mobs by 1 block per level."

#

Most things can't hurt me anyways, so getting in melee isn't a huge issue. But it'd be neat for base building?

sonic wyvern
#

NGL I'd rather grab it just for the reach if you feel you have enough damage already

sonic wyvern
#

There's a few Curios that do it too

#

Tool Belt, Royal Hand, Chitin Claw to (paraphrase) name a few off the top of my head

#

You can search em by searching "#Slot #Block Reach" I think

kindred mountain
#

(Royal Gauntlet)

sonic wyvern
#

Didn't remember the right names, sry oops

kindred mountain
#

Not even a worry

#

The fact that the strength buff is just a flat 20% increase is just huge

sonic wyvern
#

fr

#

i wonder how it calculates with other strength buffs, the order of operations. like, i assume its added at the end after flat bonuses... but is it additive or multiplicative with other +20% buffs?

pulsar lodge
#

probably multiplicative

plucky plank
#

in terms of weapon durability, is making it unbreakable still the best option? or is using overslime and overmending a better alternative option

#

i havent played the newer version and heard making a wepaon unbreakable is costly+ not worth it

chilly ibex
#

most of the time it's easier to just bring repair kits with you

plucky plank
#

also i checked out some of the community builds and did some damage testing, something like the murasama and dreadsteel scythe has the same damage with less enchants, I was under the impression that if you wanted a good weapon for master you'd have to use the tinkers ones

sonic wyvern
#

im surprised the Dreadsteel scythe isnt just OP compared to stuff

chilly ibex
#

it pierces armor, including the ranged attack Kekw

sonic wyvern
chilly ibex
#

i can't remember if it's NEAR 100% armor piercing or if it just straight up looks at the code for armor and toughness then throws it out the window

sonic wyvern
#

sounds fair and balanced, i think we should nerf irons again.

chilly ibex
#

same

sonic wyvern
chilly ibex
#

or rather, just keep nerfing other things that don't need to be nerfed..

So ik blizzs spawn in cold environments but is there a more consistent way to find them?

orchid nimbus
#

Bigger cold biome 🤷

#

Easiest thing to do is find a way to catch one and stuff it in a spawner

hot elm
#

I'm curious if the tinkers meta has shifted at all

fickle barn
#

Oh yeah wasnt there a new melee weapon

hot elm
#

Also some new materials

chilly ibex
#

new materials would need to be added to the tinker's spreadsheet though....

hot elm
#

Mithril and Pyrium

chilly ibex
#

hrrr, i'd have to check the stats and traits to see if they'd be decent....

#

ehhh...... "Dealing damage can cause fiery explosions"

#

the 20% melee damage is pretty decent though, durability for heads is really good actually

#

ok the stats for mithril is kinda dogshit except mining speed for the head which is..about average?

#

"Dealing damage and mining blocks has a chance to restore mana"

for armor: "Exchanges mana for some protection"

#

hey @hot elm sorry to ping again but i'm noticing a lack of methods for obtaining pyrium parts currently unless i'm missing something...

the only things i'm noticing to obtain molten pyrium is throwing the boss itself into a smeltery (which will probably be impossible), or throwing the related music disc into the foundry but the disc isn't obtainable unless you HAVE a pyrium ingot to begin with.

#

does the Echo of Tyros boss drop pyrium on death or something? i've never interacted with it before

ok i have confirmed it does not....

fickle barn
#

And u have a chance to roll a couple pyrium bars from them

#

Think the vaults are openable again after some cooldown

#

I think i got like 5 bars from 4 keys

chilly ibex
#

I killed the boss like 5 times

fickle barn
#

😳 😳

chilly ibex
# fickle barn 😳 😳

Only things I got was like a stack of arcane essence, some boss drop to make really shitty armor, and one other thing I don't remember but it definitely wasn't a key

#

It might've been cinder essence

noble ore
#

how do i filter the normal expert and master tab in the search bar

chilly ibex
#

look at the pinned spreadsheet and it'll have 90+% of everything tinker's currently in MCE2

#

o

drowsy jewel
#

so it's widely considered that maxxing out melee protection is better than rejuvenated?

fickle barn
#

Total of 10 levels of melee prot across the 4 armor slots iirc maxes it out

#

Rest should be dumped to revi

chilly ibex
#

that's what it caps at

fickle barn
#

@chilly ibex hey i have a question

fickle barn
#

Is there a benefit in putting activated chrome on multiple armor pieces as mail (in empowered mode) vs just one?

orchid nimbus
#

Yes, the effects stack

chilly ibex
#

i THINK the trait stacks but i don't remember exactly

fickle barn
#

Ok neat

chilly ibex
#

you should put it as maille on the whole armor set either way

#

5% chance turns into 20% basically

fickle barn
#

Oh activated state (5% to cancel) is better than empowered (cancels up to 20%)?

#

Is protocite any good? I found a battlesign made from it

chilly ibex
kindred mountain
plucky plank
#

which materials are optimal for katana parts?

fickle barn
sonic wyvern
#

Wait, how did you extract the protocite from the sign?

kindred mountain
plucky plank
#

Any reason not to go voltaic instead

kindred mountain
#

For which part?

#

You'd get a -25% damage if you make a handle, and a blade would be a 1.5 reduction on damage

#

You'd also lose the benefits of Extra Dense if you replaced the head

#

You can play around with potential builds with a Tinker's Anvil

Beats me. Probably has to do with either having Extra Dense II or something that Activated Chromatic Steel gives.

#

Its a wild material.

plucky plank
#

strange

#

never tried that one before

#

maybe ill give it a try

kindred mountain
#

Look at it

#

It gives the benefits of four other materials

plucky plank
#

ye

#

i see that

#

idk ion understand ima just make it lol

kindred mountain
#

I've wound up with so many "This increases hardness" that that might be what's doing it

#

The fact that its got so many things making it sturdier all at the same time that even if I hit something, its durability doesn't go down

orchid nimbus
#

That katana will eventually break it’ll just take ages lol

#

In my experience with endgame materials unless you’re killing thousands of mobs with it you’re not gonna have to worry much about weapons breaking, more so armor and tools

fickle barn

1 bottle for every tool dismantled

#

So still very cheap

Swiftesteststrike is really funny as an upgrade name

fickle barn

Otherwise would have gone w dense

chilly ibex

Densium would drop speed from 1.5 to 1 but damage from 72 to iirc 93

fickle barn

Its been pretty fun

chilly ibex

93? holy

Havent tried tho if it can damage cata bosses

with meka crusher each of those ingots is 15 netherite scrap 😳

where do you see this at?

fickle barn

There was a recipe in jei to smelt the ingots

Think it was like vanilla blast furnace

And youd get 5 ancient debris from smelting it

question, how do I access Activated Chromatic Steel BEFORE the end?

kindred mountain
#

Can't. You need iridium.

#

I guess you can hope that some piglin is holding an iridium sign, but that doesn't seem feasible

sonic wyvern
#

soooo

#

what you're saying is that if im lucky enough and scrap enough iridium tinkers tools, i can scrounge enough for armor and tools?

#

maille is what, 2 ingots each?

kindred mountain
#

Maille is 2 ingots each. You need 90mb for one ingot. You need 3 ingots of iridium to make 45mb.

sonic wyvern
#

...oh

#

so thats 48 ingots for a full set of armor

kindred mountain
#

For an activated chromatic steel maille, you'd need 12 iridium.

#

Correct

#

So, y'know, possible

#

but

sonic wyvern
#

time to doom 12 rats to forever fish fr

#

need those iridium swashers

kindred mountain
#

There's like, 67~ materials?

You're hoping an item pops out with one component being a Tier 4 material, and that's assuming that they're on the spawn table before you hit The End

kindred mountain

fickle barn

Rat fishing is somewhere in the middle of those two

#

You put tons of fisher rats in some dark room, have them deposit their shit to a wormhole bound to a separate actuator, you trash all the nets, rods, possibly books, fish.

Another wormhole bound to that actuator next to your main storage

#

Then just every now and then check if the rats have fished any cool swashers

why does it need to be a dark room 😭

If u go w pneumatic plating, 4th maille probs as blaze netherite

w blaze netherite plating, maybe hepatizon?

i'm full blaze netherite plating

#

currently i'm using enchanter shield on my chestplate to repair it using mana. what are the alternative for mending the rest of the armor?

#

is there a mending using xp modifier?

#

or something like it

fickle barn
#

Novice (+ mage and archmage) regenerate durability with ars mana

#

Pneumatic steel uses compressed air over durability

#

Havent tested them yet, but signalum reinforcements sound like they would add an internal battery that starts using electricity over durability

rose scarab
#

thanks

#

i'm going to try them when I get home

#

last question, is there a trident alternative in tinkers? didn't find any

fickle barn
#

Javelin I think

#

Has a "Returning" augment that acts as a loyality equivalent by the sound of it

#

Theres also the tide trident and coral bardiche

rose scarab
#

looking for riptide augment

#

just got a drowned belt

#

i'm using it to fast travel a lot

but i got a coral lance which is kinda bad

fickle barn

Ortholance modifier through alex's caves might work

#

No idea tho

Unless you get the pilfer spell and go around abyssal chasms until you find a deep one knight

exilite antimagic

#

it says it gives spell protection (different from magic protection)

chilly ibex
#

doesn't tell me what it does

sonic wyvern

It's probably protection against player spells, VS magic damage which is just a type of damage that used for a lot of enemies (evokers, etc)

#

Blizz Enderium giving a -10% on damage doesn't help, IMO

#

Did TC change material stats in its latest update?

fickle barn
#

Should go up once you get metamorph to 25% and add fiery for frost plating

kindred mountain
# gentle shadow Metamorph?

Its a trait from Blizz Enderium. Every time the equipment gets damaged, its Metamorphium trait goes up, which increases how much damage it does or how much armor it gives. The bonus it gives goes up to 25%.

#

So for example, that Blaze Netherite-Osgloglas Cleaver that has a Blizz Endrium Tough Handle, could get its Metamorphium up to 25% and wind up with a damage rating of 27~

rose scarab
#

are dual daggers viable or its just better to get a better weapon?

fickle barn
sonic wyvern
#

Fellas, am I reading "Terra" correctly? Is that basically a free 7 damage per swing? I assume it burns mana to do it, but that's kinda cracked

I know it says full charge, but like. The combat mod FORCES you to be at full charge anyways, so it'll happen most times.

Both blaze netherite and pneumatic steel are also very good for tools and weapons. blizz enderium is VERY strong for weapons as a tool handle

oh right, i keep forgetting to share my early game abuse broadaxe

it effectively deals 30 damage on a strike, as long as its a full charge... but the game usually forces a full charge anyways, so if you learn the attack timing of "just holding left mouse down" then its cracked busted

it ALSO can have Looting 4, which was the big kicker hehe
