Boots of traveling and thaumium fortress armor, and fortress armor also provides protection against things like poison.

Boots of travelling have a terrible armor value, so I replaced it with the (not quite as good) soujouner's sash.

Do you know how much armor fortress thaumium has? It says it's equivalent to diamond, but it says something about additional protection the more of it you have, and right now my tartarite armor is quite a bit better than diamond.

I would say the three piece set provides the same protection as a full suit of diamond armor, but it also protects against things like poison and fire, I got hit with a witch poison bottle and I lost about one heart from poison.

I don't even know my own credit card information.
Personally I was doing just fine with only 4 shirts (8 armor / 32% damage reduction) (goggle combo helmet, boots of travel, thaumostatic harness, thaumaturge's pants) and Protection IV on everything. I had a weapon with vampirism though so that might have helped.

Finally got a setup working! No magic mirrors yet so I'm carting the coal myself (the tree farm is on the next island) but it's already up and running and starting to feed me mana. I can now start really getting into Botania. Thanks to Magress for the setup I copied. On the left can be seen the beginnings of my sano setup, wherein I cruelly enslave a cow and force it to output hundreds of cows worth of milk.

What modpack should I download if I want everything but the kitchen sink in a server with my friends? I was going to try OMPi, but it seems not to have a server download at all. Am I missing something and, if not, what's an alternative modpack with lots of different mods to explore?

I haven't personally tested it but I've come across -this- piece of crazy with just about goddamn everything in it. It includes a server pack too. http://the-1710-pack.com/

Let's go explorin' little dude!
EE schemes tend to dominate modpacks however. It solves too many problems that it becomes your first choice on production of most items. That's not to say it isn't fun when it is the central core but if you want exploring different tech/magic choices then it's best to leave it out.

OMPi is the thread recommendation for a "tons of crap" kind of modpack right? My girlfriend and I want to play together and we want a good lots of stuff pack, cause I like doing tech and magic, and she likes doing magic and decoration.

Dawn Totems? No. Dawn machines? yes. Bloody expensive way to chunkload though, especially now that actual chunkloaders are in. Even if they require a poo poo ton of infusion to make too. Really fun to make them the core of an airship and then fly around expanding sections of cleared area.

I can too, got a fairly large Botania and AE setup going. I'm trying to see how far I can upgrade a terra shatterer and boy howdy does it use a lot of mana. I've probably put 35 or so mana pools into it and it's only 1/3 to rank S. :shepicide:

On the other hand, it mines 5x5x5 cubes instantly and destroys all stone and gravel while it's at it. I mined under about half the entire mountain range from y5 to y10 in about 20 minutes. :getin:

Alright after much analysis of the Iguana Tweaks settings in Blightfall I feel like you need to build your pick/hammer carefully to really get the full potential out of tcon, and even then I don't think it can match up to an Awakened Ichorium Pickaxe, or even a Terra Shatterer.
ALL materials used in a tool count towards the xp requirement. If you put a blue slime rod in your tool to boost the durability it will take like twice as long to level up. So don't do that. Celenegil has the best xp modifier, so you'll want to eventually aim for that to speed up leveling. Before that... well, maybe Deep Iron. It levels about twice as fast as iron, is easy to get, and has decent durability. Make a second pick for mining high mining level ores. Or just use a wand for that.
Mining speed counts towards the xp requirement (I don't think you can actually change this, it's default behavior). Don't put redstone on your tools, put redstone on your gloves.

I'd like possible seeds / Saplings, and what to do first (like scouting, thaumcrafting, mining? Where to mine!?)

yaaay

Magres
Jul 14, 2011
I dunno about possible seeds and saplings, but they're both buttons worth hammering. As for first priorities, I generally scout because scouting gets you so much rep, and is the way to most easily progress at mining, and there are multiple secrets tucked in various places that will shoot you forward really quickly through Thaumcraft.

"Where are the doors?" they asked nerviously.
Even my bellowing laughter couldn't fill this space.
Now that the thread is back off bligtfall. Here's a question I put in the Spergville Agrarian Skies 2 server thread. I did some investigating in a creative single player world for pure curiosity and could not open up any quests in the "For the Hording" page. Has anyone else opened any quests there? And if so, do you know what triggers it?

Also, there seem to be some invisible quests in the "Power Grid"(stuck at 91% with 21 quests), the "Thaumcraft"(stuck at 98% with 93 quests), and the "Applied Engineering"(stuck at 91% with 11 quests) pages that don't want to show up. Does anyone here know how to unlock them?
