you need so much of this just to have a chance at getting any parts.
every ingot you smelt gives you 1 mb.
so you need as many ingots as mbs needed for each part.
...
That’s miserable lol
however.
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
Again, Sakura dimension LOL
LISTEN.
IM NOT SMART.
I THOUGHT IT WONT BLOW ME UP AND IRRADIATE MY BASE.
the evolution of minecraft is crazy.
Or you just wait for mobs to drop the blade, I’ve got a neutronite small blade from my enderio spawners
What should I build with this?
Does this have a neutronite handle?
You might want one because it gives a 1024% damage boost.
but -80% melee speed
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
Oog
Hammah
Idk what the stats are tbh so idk
Oh, yea hammer..more mining speed but melee damage is good too
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
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
supreme density increases damage or armor, ionizing has an overtime effect.
Anyone know how plastic works? Does it really give upgrade slots if you just use it a bunch?
Yes but not really worth
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
The only fringe case I can think of is if you ABSOLUTELY NEED like one or two slots to get to unbreakable
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
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
Vein hammer my beloved
I’m talking like, speed boost sprinting and the hammer keeps up efficiency
Right
See there’s where we differ, I’m just a sucker for the sledge. I can’t get used to a vein hammer for the life of me
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
Eh, I mean osgloglas with a voltaic crystal does what I need it to but I get what you’re saying
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
Oh I have a silk touch sledge, I like not having to smelt for stone lol
Disintegrate doesn't matter when you put unbreakable and you'll still have 1 or 2 slots left over for whatever
That's fair, I enjoy manual mining
Being able to get thousands of diamonds within mere minutes is beautiful
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?
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
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
I see, and is there a limit to how many upgrades can be added to a plastic part?
yes, the limit is based on a configuration setting, which is set at 3
Ah I see. So probably not worth it then over the densium I have equipped now. Thanks for explaining
Oh dude I got my cleaver post-nether and it stayed with me all the way until I got neutronite 😭
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
anybody got some good early game armor and weapon suggestions to kill the wither?
trap the wither in a decent sized cage and it becomes hilariously easly
i think its a 5x5x5 cage
dont quote me
Needs to be 3x3x5 on the inside
well, followup question if that's so easy. any good pre-nether gear? should i just stick with diamond armor and whatnot?
Best prenether is pneumaticraft steel
vanilla armor is awful....in fact, any armor that doesn't do anything special is awful
I dunno, prot 5 diamond got me my first dragon kill this pack
must've been able to get really close for it to not use it's breath attack
I mean it was asleep so I got right up against it
yea, luck
What are the best maile to use? Ended up doing neutronite for all 4 armor pieces
chromatic steel is the best maille
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
just cheese it with the iron's root spell
and fight it on the nether roof so it doesnt destroy anything of value and the arena is nice and flat
pretty sure that and manasteel are bis for normal mode yea
could anyone walk me through what the best weapon available for me at my stage is?
i'd highly appreciate it
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?
i just entered nether, i don't know if i want to say that i've progressed in any specific mod too much yet, i like playing melee / close range. I don't necessarily need to know what i can make precisely right now but if i could get something like a roadmap or a specific end goal it'd be very helpful as i'd be targeting the specific mods necessary to make whatever i need to make.
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
can anyone give me expert mode tool and armor recommendations?
how can i get on the roof?
you can use the piston trick to break bedrock afaik
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
do you mean the compressed iron? can't find anything named steel under pneumaticcraft
Pneumatic steel is from tinkers advanced.
You make it using pneumatic craft. But it's a tinkers advanced item.
i found it, thank you - is it even worth going into pneumaticcraft just for this pre-nether?
You can go pneumatic craft for:
Sick ass drone logistics
Minigun
Modular, upgradable power armor(early mek-suit essentially)
And pneumatic steel.
But if you're just going for the steel.. I'd say not wroth it.
i'm trying to play for the technomancy mage fit, just trying to find the easiest playable armor until that boss fight
You'll want a pneumatic suit for the speed and flight advantage
what do you mean?
What are you trying to get in technomancy. The mechanical scrap?
It drops from the harbinger.
You can beat that guy with speed and range damage.
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.
eh just find things they give you a speed or height advantage (like jumping high and flying)
Most catac bosses get stomped on if you're not on the ground, or are too fast.
finding that direction from pre-nether is the hard part 💔
what is the pneumatic suit? i cannot find it
Pneumatic armor.
PNC.
Chest plate leggings and the likes.
Which are deeeep in pneumaticraft
this is all bosses wdym
the focus is the harb
i guess but 1 shots are a general "any boss can do this" kinda thing
alright yeah my fault
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
what are you confused about exactly
it's just like reading any other chart
okay, i meant like i find it difficult navigating it
now, i might just be braindead for spreadsheets in general or i might just be it for this specific spreadsheet
the tabs at the bottom are pretty self explanatory
yes, but how do i choose or pick whatever i want?
based on the stats...? traits are important too
like i said, the problem is highly likely just me
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? 😁
please 😢
bruh....idk how to help you read the spreadsheet
just look at the material names and then at the top are the individual stats
no no haha, i mean, give me like a decent setup for a hammer and a weapon (materials and maybe modifiers as well)
don't teach me how to read the spreadsheet 😹
first you said you were having trouble navigating it, now you're saying you don't want help reading it.....
if you tell me a setup i'd be able to skip reading it, get it?
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
the point of tinker's is experimentation, also stop pinging with every reply
and if i don't mind just being told what to make? idk if i'm too interested in experimenting with tinkers.....
different parts have different stats but the traits remain MOSTLY the same with some exceptions between tools and armor
i get that, but say i make a hepatizon hammer head, what would you choose/recommend for the binding and rod?
probably just focus on mining speed since hepatizon's mining speed by default isn't anything special
its mining speed (according to spreadsheet) is at an 8 which is like pretty way up there, am i misunderstanding something?
8 mining speed is like...decent
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?
hows this sound, tell me if you'd change anything: hepatizon head, 2 refined obsidian plates and a hepatizon tough tool rod
doesn't sound too bad
thanks a lot for ur help fam
What's a good expert mode set (armor and weapon)? Just got to the great beneath.
Is there any ability for creative flight for tinkers armor or just the elytra?
no creative flight for tinkers' armor
there's only creative flight for he.. who can fly creatively...
anyone got a decent melee weapon i can make?
i have access to netherite/ancient debris but not osmium (@ expert mode)

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?
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
okay, does it constantly repair with the passive standard mana regen that you have?
could you also perhaps specify the modifies for it as i really struggle knowing what i SHOULD prioritize every time.
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
Damage. Put as much as you can to make the damage number go higher, that’s all that a cleaver wants
Prioritize sharpness, and that’s why blizz enderium is good it gives it a nice damage boost
Only use stone as a head for anything if it’s your first tool, almost anything is better
As long as you have a source of botania mana to charge your stuff it’ll use that to repair
ah, i don't have that yet. so the passive mana regen doesn't apply to the mana repair...?
You can get blizz enderium right as you hit nether though
oh wut... how????
right, is there a specific place or something?
Anywhere in the overworld that’s considered icy I believe
aight thanks a lot <3<3<3
is there some kind of hammock or something in the game that can turn day into night?
Not sure about that, but you can use Ars Nouveau and Occultism to change the weather and stuff
Ars can do a lot of things with weather and day time
is the consensus for expert still activated chromatic steel armor? or is blaze netherite better?
For weapons or armor?
was asking about armor, but am also interested in weapons
So I haven't looked at armor but for melee weapons is definitely neutronite + chromatic steel
what materials gives an additional abillity slot?
or upgrade slot
either one, i know there is the draconic modifier for a slot but materials?
The only ones I know are rose gold and plastic
but both give upgrade slots
alright thanks a lot mate
uh chromatic steel is master mode..
blaze netherite will never be better though
..since when? every expert build at the top of this thread talks about chromatic steel and i didn't see anything ingame that would delay it to the end?
iridium
isnt chromatic steel basalz signalum, blitz lumium, blizz enderium and blaze netherite?
- i'm literally watching discord
- blaze netherite was replaced with iridium a long time ago
then i guess literally every expert armor suggestion in this thread is outdated :/ what's the consensus for expert armor then?
still relatively the same
blaze netherite + blizz enderium
PNC armor gets you through early and most of mid game though
i see, thanks
im more looking to play blaze netherite until the technomancy mage one from that boss i forgot the name of
I mean tbf you can get all the materials in normal mode, at least the tinkers ones
because mobs drop the armors/tools you can dissasemble
i...guess? but the chances of that are insanely low...
to say you CAN get them in normal mode is pointless
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
what do you use as the kill block? wasn't there some issue with some mobs not being able to die from cursed earth?
just a mob masher, you could use deployers to kill the diamond dudes but I just let em live
I don't run it 24/7 anyways
it's too many mobs when you speed it up with redstone pulses
i see, do you just turn it off with a redstone lamp or something lol
😭
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
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
ooh, interesting
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
p
the p tool binding
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)
With the abilities and modifiers tinkers gives weapons and tools, tinkers stuff blows anything vanilla out of the water
Thanks! I'll have a play around see what I can make
There’s plenty of advise and builds posted here if you need help
^^^
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
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
Isn't heavy armor with prot 4 better than blaze netherite?
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
doubt
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...
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
- Wrong channel
- No
- Dragons spawn in the overworld
- Reaching the nether doesn't cause dragons to spawn
they aren't mode locked in the first place
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
They’re just pretty rare
i used it for the plating..
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
What are yall using for mining in expert mode?
a drill
mining gadget or matter manipulator
since this is the tinkers thread, then matter manipulator
Any material recommendations? So far its looking like blaze netherite, cobalt, hepatizon
Throw osgloglas in there somewhere, it’s really good for mining
so is the best expert mode armor blaze netherite maille with blizz enderium plating rn?
Yeah pretty much. Only real step ups from there is dragon steel plate and chromatic maille
why not netherite plating with blizz enderium maille?
and what abt weapons should i go with a cleaver or dual wield daggers or something
Oh wait I didn’t realize what order you put those in. Yeah blaze netherite plate and blizz maille
gotcha
Pure raw melee damage output in this pack, unless I missed something, is cleaver. Its downside is attack speed but there’s so many ways to up your attack speed outside of tinkers that it’s basically a non issue
with redstone or something else
and are you still able to add extra upgrade slots or no
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
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
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
awesome
ok last question what materials should i make the cleaver out of
is there any outstanding materials
Same as the upgrades really, whatever makes the damage number higher. If you search cleaver in this chat there’s some good builds
No problem, I’ve been using tinkers since its earliest release I don’t mind helping out
last time i played was before tc3 and its changed soooo much
Yeah tc3 changed a lot, but there’s enough still the same that I make due
Relatively cheap weapon for early game!!
any recommendation for material to increase durability on normal mode for a sword?
Uh chromatic steel isn't early game...
Diamond + emerald for basic increase and you can do reinforcement once you reach nether I think?
No, it's emerald with obby for reinforcement..I was thinking melee prot
ok ty
whats the easiest way to melt blizz enderium?
Like, melt it in the smelter or make the alloy
melt in the smelter
Because melting it in the smelter I believe just takes blazing blood
Yeah that’s right, my bad. It’s honestly not bad to make though, and you can reuse the slime to make more
yeah
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
If it’s between those two only, enchanted alloy 500%
ok ty
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
yeah i use both a hammer and a pickaxe
Neither is neutronite and irradium and all the upgrades I've used for the sword 😭
What's good end game armor materials?
end-end game? or early-end game?
if you awnt end game armor just mek suit 😭
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
any reccomendations for upgrades in for armor other than revitalized?
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
how do i bind an osgoglas tinkers weapon to a storage terminal from integrated dynamics?
poverty
bind it to a chest.
connect the chest to a storage terminal.
you dont need to bind it to a terminal
wait how do u not get the explosion... or make it not explode?
You can't.
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
Thanks thanks
Ill look into sakura dimension and do this once i get there🤣
The fusion reactor doesn't have to be powered or active for your information.
Just an assembled multiblock with iron ingots inside.
And all Neutronite ingots amount to 1 mb of Neutronite, so you'll need hundreds for the part you need.
not hard when you can get thousands within minutes if you mine raw ores with fortune and then smelt it all down to double
Oh sh
Aight aight
God bless u🫡🫡🍻
yeah the only hard part is anti matter.
idk what materials you used except blaze netherite
hepatzion handle i think and
shrug-- nevermind i might quit the mod since my frames started dropping
you mean modpack
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
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
Disappointing, bring back moss! TY for the info
Mending moss was always kinda lame imho, I always liked finding different ways to repair and saving the slot for something cooler
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 ?
just charge wirelessly or use mana
Anyone have suggestions for Expert mode daggers materials and modifiers?
osgloglas and blizz enderium..increase base damage as much as mpossible
tinker contuct
What's a good beginner armour pre nether
Steel for plating, your choice of maillr
steel for pating
From my research online, meka seems like the "God armor" and pressurized seems to be more utilitarian and mid/lategame
mekasuit is stronger, but its wayyyyyyyyyy harder to get
mekasuit sucks in mce2
oh
Wait what? I'm confused, why?
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
not related to the pack but does the quantum armor from advanced ae bypass that?
Couldn’t tell ya, I’ve never touched it
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
Revitalized and melee protection are must haves, other than that whatever fits your playstyle
yea, extra health is pretty much required if you fight bosses
think this would be anything good?
Anyone got suggestions for an excavator? Matter Manipulator is too good and only gives me flint from gravel, instead of gravel
How far in are you? Either something that mines decently fast and is easy to repair or make it really fast and unbreakable
Shoulda mentioned, yeah. Master Mode.
Looking for something fast and unbreakable
Pretty sure mattock is like 2 or 3 tools in one yea?
Mattock is a farming tool, axe, shovel combo. But an excavator is a 3x3 for dirt/gravel/sand.
why not just make a silk shovel then with aoe..
if gravel is what you need, silk prevents flint
Is shovel AoE a tinkers or an enchant?
Yes, tinker's. I just didn't know there was a shovel aoe ability/upgrade.
there's upgrades to increase mining aoe
I'll look it up. Any reccs for tool assembly?
whatever you want ig if you're just wanting gravel?
@chilly ibex thoughts? Or are funny knives kinda obsolete now?
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...
Katan better? Looks like they use the small blade too now so could use these 4 pieces of irradium for a blade
why would you do full irradium instead of a variety
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
chromatic steel?
Would that be better for a handle or a blade?
blade, because voltaic is the only thing you need for handle
Ah so ig irra and chrome blade with voltaic and ender on handle
yea
With the Annihilate trait, which deals Explosion damage, is that just a type change? Or does that create an explosion on impact?
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
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
what're the best ways to increase attack speed outside skill tree? i haven't run into any
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
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
sadly with this best thing to pop up is a single glove slot item, but the other one popped up with a solid iron's spell
Oooh I forgot about irons, yeah that spell carried me for a bit
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.
Look through @UniqueAccessories and @Artifacts, there's a lot of fun ones. @Relics tends to have ones with varying degrees of bonus, although I think Rage Gloves will give offensive stacking boosts per-attack
@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.
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
I got most of mine from fishing thankfully, that and there’s a glitch with tamed dragons and the taming animals one that makes it super easy to max out
That glitch was very funny to discover firsthand
It gets a little annoying when hand feeding them but overall pretty funny
I made 10 Perfects of them out of boredom before finally now just trashing them all
is cleaver generally the strat? i just despise slow attack speed tbh
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
if you have access to osgloglas, i'd recommend that for blades and then blizz enderium + blaze netherite for handles
sadly, no great below yet; im attempting to gear up for wither fighting though
silver is a high recommendation for wither since it increases damage against undead mob which is literally 90% of the entire game
gotcha
i don't remember if the trait stacks...if not, steel is a good mix-in with silver just for extra base damage
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?
cleaver and katana are interchangeable as of right now
you'll get higher base damage with the cleaver but more attack speed with katana
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
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
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?
cold biomes..think BLIZZard
ah, they're overworld spawns?
yea..
Is the chromatic steel possible pre-end?
no
you need iridium which...is end only
Question of opinion. Maxing out my new armor. Would people prioritize Reach or Strength abilities for chest piece?
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?
Strength is a 10% attack damage buff to all weapons, 2 level max
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
"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?
NGL I'd rather grab it just for the reach if you feel you have enough damage already
Block reach stacking is amazing for building
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
(Royal Gauntlet)
Didn't remember the right names, sry oops
Not even a worry
The fact that the strength buff is just a flat 20% increase is just huge
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?
probably multiplicative
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
chromatic steel or voltaic crystal with wireless charging is still the best option.. as for actual 'unbreakable' status, it varies
most of the time it's easier to just bring repair kits with you
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
im surprised the Dreadsteel scythe isnt just OP compared to stuff
no it is
it pierces armor, including the ranged attack 

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

or rather, just keep nerfing other things that don't need to be nerfed..
brother is actually raging rn about the irons restrictions mod addition lel
who
my brother
oh
he hasnt hopped into my world for like a week, and finally just got the update
i'm waiting for a content update.....haven't played this shit in like months at this point
theres so much content already wdymmm
Trying to get these final two upgrades for my armor is wildly difficult. Good lord.
Rip holy lance 😭 😭
So ik blizzs spawn in cold environments but is there a more consistent way to find them?
Bigger cold biome 🤷
Easiest thing to do is find a way to catch one and stuff it in a spawner
I'm curious if the tinkers meta has shifted at all
Oh yeah wasnt there a new melee weapon
Also some new materials
if you're talking MCE2 specifically, slightly but it's still mostly the same unless players found things that haven't been made public here yet
new materials would need to be added to the tinker's spreadsheet though....
Mithril and Pyrium
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....
Always drops 1-2 keys which u open the 4 magic vaults with
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
I never got keys
I killed the boss like 5 times
😳 😳
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
how do i filter the normal expert and master tab in the search bar
you don't
look at the pinned spreadsheet and it'll have 90+% of everything tinker's currently in MCE2
o
so it's widely considered that maxxing out melee protection is better than rejuvenated?
Total of 10 levels of melee prot across the 4 armor slots iirc maxes it out
Rest should be dumped to revi
you only need 80% melee prot across your entire armor set, so 20% on each piece
that's what it caps at
@chilly ibex hey i have a question
Is there a benefit in putting activated chrome on multiple armor pieces as mail (in empowered mode) vs just one?
Yes, the effects stack
i THINK the trait stacks but i don't remember exactly
Ok neat
you should put it as maille on the whole armor set either way
5% chance turns into 20% basically
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
😳
protocite is an endgame material
Its a valuable material that's gated behind mekanism fission reactors. Been spending past few days building up my reactor just so I can get it and one other material at its level of difficulty. And you found it on a sign? Give me your luck.
which materials are optimal for katana parts?
I c. Ended up making a mail out of it since it seems to fully delete negative effects which sounds kinda cool
Wait, how did you extract the protocite from the sign?
I went with a classic from the spreadsheet, but when I have my hands on antimatter, I'm considering how bad it'll be to have a Katana that potentially explodes in my face.
Any reason not to go voltaic instead
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
how do you turn weapons into materials like that? ive got a few dragonsteel/netherite swashers and other things id like to use
If you put a Tinkers' item into a part builder, you can select which part of it to retain, with a chance of getting one of the others
...how
Put a pattern in the left slot

yeah that literally just doesnt show up for me.
What's the tool in question you put up there?
istg im about ready to downport at this point
too much bs keep arising with the new update
good comms
forgot about the downsides
also what do you do for durability? do you just always have a repair kit or did you make it unbreakable
Oh my Katana just never breaks
howd u do it
Beats me. Probably has to do with either having Extra Dense II or something that Activated Chromatic Steel gives.
Its a wild material.
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
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
Need to remove modifiers, in new version it uses venom bottle (smelt a spider eye, fermented eye or spider head) instead of pattern
1 bottle for every tool dismantled
So still very cheap
Well, I already down patched, but that's good to know since I had like 700 spider eyes lol
looks pretty interesting, might try to make one for the lols
what is good armor and weapon for early game
I just ran steel armor and a steel sword/katana
and what is the easiest way to get steel
holy shit, 72 damage 😭
why not exchange the osgloglas for densium?
oh nvm i see why
Glaive? Is that a new weapon in the new update?
Swiftesteststrike is really funny as an upgrade name
Missing 1 bar
Otherwise would have gone w dense
1 bar?
Densium would drop speed from 1.5 to 1 but damage from 72 to iirc 93
Its been pretty fun
93? holy
Havent tried tho if it can damage cata bosses
Deletes wardens and that spellbooks firelord boss in mere seconds
👀
Found out that the pyro ingots can be melted to 5 ancient debris ea
eh?
with meka crusher each of those ingots is 15 netherite scrap 😳
where do you see this at?
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
Ahh no
What in the actual fuck am I looking at
Nuclear bomb spear

A smole spear coated with poison karambwan paste idk
question, how do I access Activated Chromatic Steel BEFORE the end?
Can't. You need iridium.
I guess you can hope that some piglin is holding an iridium sign, but that doesn't seem feasible
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?
Maille is 2 ingots each. You need 90mb for one ingot. You need 3 ingots of iridium to make 45mb.
For an activated chromatic steel maille, you'd need 12 iridium.
Correct
So, y'know, possible
but
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
You'd need more than 12 imo, you're essentially trying to make Hamlet with Monkeys and Typewriters, but with Rats and Fish

Ethically, no.
Via cheese, yes.
i wish to know the cheese
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 😭
🙃
Its what they deserve

any beginner bow ?
hardly anyone uses bows, especially early game
what do i use for long range?
You could go for my option of “man I hope that flies close enough to swing my cleaver at”
💔
Any suggestions for how I could buff tc bows?
Enchanters bow with infinity and power
The lack of an accessible form of infinity is probs the biggest drawback.
While crystalshot technically is infinity, it does less damage than arrows can do, and is also gated behind nether
Meanwhile the actual infinity enchant book is just 17 xp levels, 15 lapis and 1 grain of infinity dust
I could make crystalshot accessible
in expert mode what is the best maille?
A lot of people would say blizz enderium is good
One blizz ender maille, one basalt signalum maille, one blitz lumium maille
4th is up to you
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
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
thanks
i'm going to try them when I get home
last question, is there a trident alternative in tinkers? didn't find any
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
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
Ortholance modifier through alex's caves might work
No idea tho
- getting that thing is kinda ass
Unless you get the pilfer spell and go around abyssal chasms until you find a deep one knight
Might be worth making a test world and checking w creative if it works
whats the difference between spell protection and magic protection?
Spell protection?
yes
exilite antimagic
it says it gives spell protection (different from magic protection)
doesn't tell me what it does
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)
...That's my guess anyways
Need help with other ideas for these swords if possible. I got
Cleaver:
Blade blaze netherite
Head, osgloglas
Handle ???
Handle ?????
Normal sword.
Blade blaze netherite.
Handle osgloglas
Handle??????
Is this good?
try blizz enderium in a handle..that's really low damage for a cleaver made with osgloglas'
No clue why its so low
Blizz Enderium giving a -10% on damage doesn't help, IMO
Did TC change material stats in its latest update?
Should go up once you get metamorph to 25% and add fiery for frost plating
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~
are dual daggers viable or its just better to get a better weapon?
They are a fun weapon, but the very fast attack speed makes them unusable against some bosses.
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.
That's why my tier 1 early game broadaxe is so busted heh
Think it adds the mana beam from botan terra blade
Oooo
My server is still on previous MCE2. I want that glaive.
nevermind, i think its the big axe
so, how do you guys get a more powerful power source than blazing blood?
trying to make osgloglas
how do I build that?
need to make a higher source. the next one needs cinderslime, lava and blazing blood that can make osgloglas
What’s the best weapon and armor I can make in expert mode? I just got access to blaze netherite and manyullym
Pyrotheum is very easy 1501-3000 heat if you find some pneumaticcraft crude oil
Blaze netherite plating with blizz enderium, basaltz signalum and blitz lumium maille, any utility maille of your choosing for the fourth.
If you have done pneumaticcraft, pneumatic steel is an upgrade over blaze netherite, the 3 mails are the same but for the fourth youd use blaze netherite.
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
You want to use either blaze powder or fire dragon blood for 1 upgrade slot to get the frost plating (from blizz enderium) provided double damage on burning enemies
ok ty
Dunno, I’ve always made it in the separate alloying thing
I forget the recipe off hand, gimmie a sec to open the pack
ok
it says here: lava, blazing blood and cinderslime. but for some reason it doesnt mix
i dont know why
One sec, don’t have any lava on hand
And you’re 100% positive you have at minimum 3 ingots of cinderslime, 500 mb of blazing blood, and a bucket of lava?
20 blocks of cinderslime 13 bucket of blazing blood and 8 buckets of lava
in the smeltery
not the foundry
I literally just made 5 buckets of overheated lava, idk
I assume you’re on the latest version?
Maybe try removing everything, then just add the stuff for overheated lava? Idk why it would make a difference but it might
going to try make pyritheum instead
Whats the mending upgrade for tinkers tools?
Overmending
Does that require the overslime stuff? I’m not too familiar with all the slime things
it generates overslime, so yes, it interacts with all of that

Is there a way to get fortune on tinker's tools apart from disintegrate crystals and protocite? Trying to determine if I should do two pieces of Protocite or Protocite and Disintegrate Crystal
Luck modifier
Does that stack with Fortune on the weapon?
it should
Hm. Then I guess Disintegrate Tough Collar it is, and then stacking Lucky.
what is best cleaver i can make with osgloglas in expert mode. I have access to blaze netherite and blizz enderium also
pyrotheum worked normally
Hi someone have a good normal katana combo pls
Is there a better way to repair blaze netherite tools or is it prohibitively expensive?
I know you can stand in fire but like that isn’t really fast enough unless you’re afking
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
