wanting to know some spells that can make my life easier, especially for buildings or exploring and whatnot, or maybe to simply trap bosses for me to hit them

vast river
#

touch sensitive place_block aoeaoe can place a few blocks

#

also

#

glide +spamming a leap spell with an air focus

#

wait this says advanced spells not basic

#

and then for boss trapping it depends on the boss

dense raptor
vast river
#

if it has status effect immunity (like cataclysm bosses) AND breaks blocks it might be a bit hard

#

but

#

a basic strategy for "bosses" like dragons is to just cripple their movement with snare gravity extend_time

dense raptor
#

ooohhh

vast river
#

due to ice and fire having hax

#

they still can fly (and move cuz in air) for half a second

#

snares good for anything that doesnt fly/have status effect immunity

dense raptor
#

ohhh

#

keeping that in mind

#

is there spells that could amplify or make you do more with melee attacks?

vast river
#

gravity extend time helps snare with that

vast river
#

amplify flasks

#

or whatever they are called

#

amplify the potion effect level by 1

#

so if you put in str 2 youll have str 3

#

wait

#

do you have relics

dense raptor
#

ooohh

#

relics?

vast river
#

cuz either you can abuse rage glove (which i dont quite understand yet)

vast river
dense raptor
#

oohhhh i do have that mod

vast river
#

has no relation to ars

#

but like

#

dense raptor
#

i remember having rage glove in the old world, but i dont have rage glove in this new run yet

vast river
#

or you can just

#

use hunters belt

dense raptor
#

hunters belt?

vast river
#

with a summoning focus

vast river
#

increases tamed creature attack damage

#

by a PERCENT

#

goes up to like 500%

dense raptor
#

wtf

vast river
#

it says it boosts it to 500%

dense raptor
#

that affects any summon?

vast river
#

but it adds 500%

vast river
#

when making it

dense raptor
#

can i ask unrelated question about that belt

vast river
#

and not some random idiot casting summon undead with 4 amplifies and a summoning focus

dense raptor
#

say theres other mods that does summon too, like irons spellbook, do you know if that buffs them too

vast river
#

(if the axes are unenchanted it totals to 19 damage)

dense raptor
vast river
#

(multiply that by 6 and you have alot of damage)

vast river
dense raptor
#

120ish almost

#

pretty insane

vast river
#

as long as it counts as ur own pet

#

60+54=114

#

thats balanced

dense raptor
#

i didnt know ars summon counts as pet

#

until like now

vast river
#

yea

#

you get the best friend achievement from summoning one

#

so i usually end up getting it before taming anything else

dense raptor
#

ooohhh

vast river
#

but like

#

it works with animated blocks too

#

so if you summon like a swarm of those

#

like 2+9=11

#

so the silly little guys do like 66 damage if my math isnt wrong

#

(they still will die before hitting anything but after shoving you into something)

dense raptor
#

ooohhhh

#

il keep that in mind

#

il try the spells you said too

#

thanks alot

I like "Skeleton Key"
touchintangible aoe
And you can add extend_time as necessary.
This just makes a 3x3 area of blocks intangible so you can walk through them. It is also useful when hollowing out a mountain or something where you want to leave the outside layer of blocks. Just add a couple duration_down and it will do a quick flash to show you what's on the other side before you start mining.

If QoL means onetapping most vanilla and weak modded creatures, then I can only recommend:
.

#

The Magician's Railgun, created by Gweaven (https://discord.com/channels/743298050222587978/1141341426223960064), uses the shaper's focus shapers_focus to launch blocks at your enemies, dealing massive ammounts of damage

My prefered version is touchsensitiveconjure_mageblockleapamplify*3 , dealing 25 dmg
But the damage scales with block hardness, so launching obsidian (replacing conjure_mageblock with place_block ) deals 75 ish dmg

dense raptor
#

thank you both of you! il make sure to give them both a try

Another thing that is a game changer is getting blink and being able to just setup a permanent containment ritual somewhere near your base and teleport things to it. So much nicer than having to always setup the ritual next to something you want to capture

dense raptor
#

ooohhh, ive used blink mainly to jail people but can see that being useful
