…Finally getting the Axe
Holy hell. It’s been 5 days and I still haven’t gotten the huge axe (or even had it made). And my contact…still blown away by the level of wtf.
So since Saturday of the day I made a PM to ‘coldpain’, my contact, I waited 48 hours for a response. Finally he did, but instead of a “sure, I’ll do it” response, it was “come check out my shop” response, linking me to the old thread.
Though instead of checking to see if it was the same thread, I told him how that thread hasn’t been updated since 2015 and posting would be consider a necro and stuff….yet it wasn’t the same thread; it was brand new and just recently got posted.
Tried to respond before the guy did..and failed. Explained what I looked for and that was the only thread I found.
I’m a bit annoyed that searching didn’t give me THIS thread instead of the dead one (could’ve avoided having to PM him altogether). After some time, I went on and posted my request. I did see a huge axe I wanted, but also asked for Mind Steal.
Going by the number of responses, I was pretty sure I would have it made sometime tomorrow morning, and it would be waiting in my mailbox. At least, that would’ve happen if the guy actually responded in this thread of his stating it’s done!
Waited three more days after posting my request, and no response. Sent another PM asking what’s with the delay, and he said he’s too busy. Then says…he doesn’t do custom orders (and because he’s too busy), saying to ask someone else.
So…I LOST FIVE DAYS that could had gone to exploration to delays!!
Made another thread. Waited another 48 hours. Got a response from a ‘yetian’ who’s willing to sell their huge axe..for 15s. The reason why for the price jump is because it’s rare. Typically I wouldn’t be doing this, but I’m growing desperate. Though this could be delayed even more after I asked if this has Animal’s Demise on it.
The person claims they can’t do that as Mind Steal counts as a cast, yet I was told by several people in kchat, that it’s possible. They responded a bit later of asking a friend of theirs to try.
Haven’t gotten a response back.

Getting burned out of modded Minecraft
With the time away from Wurm, I’ve been getting more productive in modded Minecraft. But by doing so, I’m running out of ‘fun'(to me) things to do. I got (technically) ‘Tier 2’ power flowing through my base (courtesy of the Generator from Draconic Evolution). Though, I feel I got lied to (or at the very least, mis-told) by To Asgaard.
He said in Episode 9 of his Direwolf20 Let’s Play, that these generators can produce 160RF/T… yet in reality, they only produce 90RF/T. I was confused after finally getting a quarry going via the RFTools Builder Block (dire showed me how to set it up in Episode 29 of his Season 8 of the pack). Also, I managed to make the quarry void items I want via EnderIO and a Trash Can, before it went into an Ender Chest. I also managed to regulate power to keep the quarry going 24/7.
Anyway, I didn’t understand why I was only producing 1,200RF/T, when I have 20 generators going with Red Coal (which would mean I should be getting 3,200RF/T..IF the generators were producing 160RF/T). And that’s even a surprise, as 20 generators at 90RF/T would produce 1,800RF/T.
My guess is 600RF/T is being used by all of my farmers, my quarry, and the RS System. Still, I feel this isn’t really enough power for my needs. It’s definitely not enough when I eventually start getting into automatic mob farming (such as Wither Skeletons and Endermen Heads), and eventually Wither farming to start getting into Draconic Evolution.
Moving on, I killed the Ender Dragon and now am swimming in Ender Pearls(was pretty low to even make a tree farm), thanks to the Empowerer from Actually Additions (and it’s Greenhouse Glass).
I also gotten into Botanica, and made all the cool gadgets I wanted. One being a replacement ring of the Actually Additions ring..that actually fits in a Bauble slot and can be disabled by taking it out. Another being the Pyroclast Pendant that makes me immune to taking damage from burning (but not immune to fire/lava).
I’m also very highly debating if it’s even worth getting into Blood Magic. Sure, it takes it’s own power system (so it won’t be a drain on my base)…but is it really worth the effort of pricking myself to gain LP and killing mobs with the Sentient Sword to gain Demonic Will (until I get a Tier 3 Altar)?
Sure, the Living Armor is cool (as it also increases your hearts). But if I get into Draconic Evolution first (and dire has even proven this), I would eventually phase out of the Living Armor. So…why even bother in the first place?
However, after watching some late episodes of Smashkeys and Porphyro’s Direwolf20 videos (and actually hearing Smashkeys say “BenieTheDragon… jerk” in Episode 44 of their series(but it’s all good and I do appreciate the shoutout)), I’ve decided to go with “let’s just do Blood Magic for the sake of saying I did Blood Magic!”
Now that I can make Dimensional Transceivers, I’m thinking of moving all 6 of my farming areas and my tree farm to another location of my world(without destroying the natural beauty(aka deforesting a large area)). I’ve thought of making an RFTools dimension and putting them there, but I need ‘Tier 4’ power before I even consider doing that.
By moving them somewhere else, I can claim where the farmers were as my new Blood Magic room. And on top of it, I won’t have jerky FPS in my base anymore! It’s a win-win!
