I highly recommend going into the Thaumic Tinkering tab and unlocking the Osmotic Enchanter so that you can enchant a Shovel with Repair.

What is the osmotic Enchanter gated behind? I think ive got a fair bit of that tab unlocked but i dont see it still.

can't see any cows only chickens :)

but have you tried wrenching the pipe to make sure the input / output is set right? Is the Rancher full of milk just not feeding out - then this is the solution.

Or maybe add a servo. - also it is a fluid duct?

I made a purity focus, how do i use it on a tainted node? nothing seems to happens when i right click the node or the ground block it is on.

It mines super far in a cylinder shape by teleporting blocks to itself. It reaches 50 blocks distance easy, maybe more. You have to put a pickaxe and an excavation focus inside it. The pickaxe's durability is the "fuel" for the arcane bore - if you can put a void pickaxe into it then it'll have infinite fuel, since void pickaxes self-regenerate very quickly. An Unbreaking Void pickaxe will repair itself so quickly that it can keep up with even the fastest bore. The enchantments on the pickaxe and excavation focus will affect the bore.

-Enlarge enchantments on the focus increase the width of the tunnel it mines. If you get Enlarge 4 on your focus it'll practically eat a whole chunk.
-Silk Touch enchantments and Fortune enchantments on the pickaxe or focus affect how it mines, just how you would expect. I believe Silk Touch takes precedence over Fortune, if you have one of each on your focus/pickaxe.
-Efficiency / Potency enchantments increase the mining speed.

I think autosmelt enchantments might also work, but I haven't tried those.

Any blocks it mines get spit out the back of the bore. If there's a chest or other inventory there, they get inserted into the inventory instead. If there's a magic mirror there they get sent through the mirror.

Finally, if you run perditio vis to it from an energized node, it mines even faster.

My favorite way to use them is to use one to mine a hole straight down to bedrock level, then move the thing down to the bottom of the tunnel and point it sideways (they can be pointed sideways!) so that it mines a massive tunnel at bedrock layer where all the cool ores hang out. The arcane bore isn't impeded by lava at all - if it runs into a lava pocket it'll just ignore it and start mining on the opposite side. There's a graphic effect of ores and things flying into the bore, but that's just flashy graphics - nothing gets destroyed even if it flies through a lava pocket.

Ok, just infused myself an osmotic enchanter.

It says 6 pillars the same level as the table.

Does that mean i need to dig the pillars into the ground so that everything is level? or (if i just make them 2 blocks tall) i need to raise the table up 1 block?

Images i see on google have all varying heights.

So my next step is to make a void pick?

Left click (wand punch) the node. It'll take about 150 Ordo to remove the taint, after modifiers (so with Frugal III and Thaumium caps, 90 Ordo).

E: regarding Bores, if you plug an Arcane Lamp into one side of the base it'll light up the whole tunnel so you can have a look for stuff on the walls once it's done.

Ok there is my problem, wand only has 100 cap. Time to make a new wand.

Build it on level ground, the first pillar block should be level with the table. Pillars need to be at least 2-3 high I think it says, but can be taller for aesthetics. I just built them as a back and side walls to the enchanter.

Rancher outputs items to the rear, fluids to the side. Move fluiduct to the side, that ought to fix you.

It can output anything on any side. Except the front.

But like most MFR machines it will clog and stop working if it has nowhere to put items. Which in this case would be feathers and eggs.

Since they had not written back yet, this reminded to add that with the chickens nearby, the rancher might need item ducts for eggs it might be catching.

I'm currently mining the bedrock dimension for everything it's worth and I love it. I have so much iron I've been using it to make iron chestplates to melt down into Tutamen. I haven't seen any diamond though. Am I just unlucky?

Yeah, the fluiduct was getting clogged up with the occasional egg. I moved the chicken pen six blocks away from the rancher and that did the trick. Thanks.

Tainted wand core stores 150, as for caps its
Iron -> silver -> gold -> manasteel -> void -> TTKami
as for the purity focus, if you are using it just for cleaning nodes you should aim to put frugal V on it.

Ok cool ill see about making a tainted wand with manasteel.
Frugal V goes on the focus right? throught he osmotic enchanter?

From my limited experience.

Placing the harvesting golem should get it to harvest stuff in range. (my harvest golems often sit watchign fully grown stuff though, then go off and bash it.)

The gather golem you need to pick it up (with ell) and then when you place it, right click (to place it) as though you were attaching it to the side of the chest you want it to interact with.

Never done an alchemy golem so no idea there

Frugal V goes on the focus using a focus manipulator, XP, and vis from an energized node.

Right clicking a golem onto something sets that block as it's "home" block, and if it's not a chest, the side you right click it on will affect what slot the golem puts stuff into.
For alchemy golem, set the home on the side of an aspect smelter, then use a golem bell on a jar so it will empty the melted aspects into that "group" of jar(s), hitting multiple jars will select multiple groups.

Withering gaze sounds pretty awesome ^^. I was thinking fo makinf some purifying salts, but it takes auram, so i guess it can wait. I just had some fog and some ghostly dude come after me.

How do i make the diamond pickaxe and shovel for the arcane bore? (and how do i make the diamond sword for the blood god quest, he says put a stick, 2 diamond and a stone sword blade int he alcheemy set....... and for me they just sit there)

You gotta power it with a blood orb tuned to you. There's an additional slot to put the orb in the alchemy set.

Withering gaze really isn't great. It will cause you to accidentally kill livestock, provoke friendly npcs, and (amusingly) destroy the teleport beacons.

Edit: The beacons will instantly respawn, however.

Right click with the blood orb in your hand. It'll hurt you a little bit but now it's bound to you. Then you need something like 2000 LP in your personal pool for the alchemy set to work on making your sword.

My personal pool? I hope that isnt the blood altar as ive left it back in the tower.

Will use it while equiped tomorrow.

Also need to start working on a self sustaining power source using flowers. Not exactly sure how to do it, but will re-read the first few pages.

Make a divination sigil, if you right click in the air with that it will tell you how much LP is in your personal pool. You can add to your pool by right-clicking with the orb, which damages you and adds to your pool. You can also drain LP from an altar into your pool by putting the blood orb in the altar. This is useful later on when you have the ritual that damages mobs to fill the altar.

That happened to me when I loaded up the game in offline mode. Weird things happen if Blightfall doesn't connect to the server before starting. Yes, even in single player mode.

If that's what happened, your stuff will show back up if you log in successfully.

Does this include missing stuff from inventory? I have had a few times when i have 'thought' ive misplaced something and never found it. Though the only solid evidence i have is i made 2 sets of iron blots, both with living moss. So i was used to having about 40 shots before i had to calm things down. I now only have 1 set of 24.
Cant find the other set at all.

Everything your character has and is, is tied to your account name.
If the launcher can't connect to the mojang servers to verify that you are you, it will fail to log you in as "TheChad", instead you will log in with account name of "guest".

So when you load up your save, you are't being logged in as "TheChad" you are being logged in as "guest".

How this ties into your loading and saving is if you log in as "TheChad", it will load "TheChad" save file to be your character,
If you log in as "Guest, it will load "Guest" save file to be your character.
