i was wondering since i've seen little discussion on the mod. i have pretty much gotten most of the mod down. I have some ages I liked so far and kept for various reasons. There are however symbols I can't get for whatever reason. Glowstone, crystal, and obelisk I have yet to see.

And I'm not sure on the number of secondaries you can fiddle with an not risk instability. I was curious if anyone else did any testing since the wiki is dry on the subject a bit.

Also, what are your ideal writings for descriptive books and desired target ages?

to be perfectly honest, the only age I've ever written is :

More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores More ores

the get the various symbols, I always just make a boatload of random ages, until I get the ones I want. some are very rare, so you may have to make hundreds of books before you find them.

Remember you can craft two descriptive books to make a new one; This'll save you a lot of time when searching for rare symbols.

say what?

I assume he is saying put two descriptive books in a crafting table to make a brand spanking new one? I haven't tried that recipe and I don't know if the previous books symbols would influence the newly crafted book.

I don't believe they do, but putting 2 descriptive books in a crafting table will create a new descriptive book.

does that recycle books to ages you dont need/want anymore?

Yeah, that's exactly the point. Saves you a bunch of time and paper!

[Lothos]

well, its not letting me recycle 2 books into 1 new one.
