Kalthas Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Ok, so I love tinkers construct! Love making new crap and love fiddling with the crafting mats to get the perfect blend of durability, damage, and innate bonuses. However with the new weapons I can't decide what I like the most. What's your favorite weapon? ...and do you find the new weapons/tools to be worth the massive amount of extra materials needed? Just looking for thoughts :)
chami Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 In Hexxit, I actually prefer an enchanted Ender Giant Sword for straight-up damage. But to answer your original question, I carry around a Manyullyn Rapier with Quartz, Blaze Rods, Lapis, and Moss augments to deal with diamond armored mobs and mobs with shields. The rapier ignores both armor and the shield mechanic some mobs have. I think Manyullyn weapons are worth it, if only because it allows the rapier to get close to the sheer damage output of the Ender Giant Sword.
pimhazeveld Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 i like the manytullin battleaxe with paper binding or stick with 5 times quartz and a necro bone the paper gives an extra addon and with the quartz it hits 17 combine with scale armour and see all those skelletons fall down
Kalthas Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 mmmm, sounds awesome! I made a manyullium cleaver... not too thrilled with it. Doesn't do enough damage for the slow attack speed. Still have to try out some of the others though.
pimhazeveld Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 with me too cleavers are really slow but the battleaxe does as much damage as the cleaver an got a nice speed/strenght/jump move by charging if you charge about 2 minutes you get speed 3 8:00 strenght 8:00 jump boost 3 8:00 and hunger 4:00
Kalthas Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 so i was fiddling around with the new short bows in creative. Made a slime bow, decent attack speed and arrow speed and made some manyullium arrows with the quartz bonus. They were doing 25-35 damage a shot!!! holy crap i need to make those in my real game!!
Kalthas Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 nope very far and quite accurate! Think I used a slime(or was it wood) shaft. Don't use metal shafts as they are heavy and don't add damage. Also anyone notice that the battleaxe damage doesn't change if you use alumite vs cobalt vs manyullium? Heck it seems that as long as it's a decent quality material all do the same damage. Anyone know if this is intended or a bug?
Kalthas Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Giant swords.... no they don't hold much sway over me anymore. They do what, around 10-14 damage? A battleaxe does 18 or so easily and my new cleaver creation does at minimum around 20 damage a swing (more if they are undead), and heals me every swing. It also has the jagged property so as the durability goes down the damage ramps up a lot. Currently it's doing about 30 damage a swing! Furthermore it's got a lot more durability than any giant sword. I'm such a T. Construct fanboy it's really embarrassing! ...btw if anyone is interested in getting into making your own weapons but don't know where to start I working on a tutorial series on youtube. should be the link to the playlist. I've split it into several videos and try not to go into so much detail that it will spoil the fun of figuring out the best combinations for yourself.
likegames Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 My main weapon is a Sharpness V Looting III Unbreaking III Ender sword (not giant) But my favourite TConstruct weapon has to be a Cleaver, because you get extra Wither Skeleton Skulls.

How do you make an Ender Sword with T Construct? I know how to make most of the others with the smeltery and the like, just not sure about Ender sword.
Kalthas Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 How do you make an Ender Sword with T Construct? I know how to make most of the others with the smeltery and the like, just not sure about Ender sword. He's just saying he likes the ender sword better than the T construct stuff. I think this is what i'm enjoying so much about Hexxit, there are just so many good options for what to use. It's all just a matter of personal preference and play style. ...and yeah the cleaver does have a low attack speed. I've been using it so much though i've gotten used to it (how sad)! lol
likegames Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 but a cleaver has a very low attack speed Ah, but it's not worth it to farm Wither Skeletons in the nether without a cleaver (I gave it 3 extra levels of Beheading as well XD)
David_Wolfe Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Because of it's major speedboost, getting a Manyullyn + Paper Crossbarred rapier with luck, moss and 3 stacks of sharpness, it's almost like a rapid-stabby-stabby armor piercing version of the endersword. Mostly insta K.O.'s mobs on a double tap and makes quick work of any boss-typed enemies. Let's face it, the lavacrystal/fire enchants don't do crap versus insta kill weapons. Combine that with the Scale armour and you basically have a fast attacking agile tank that makes quick work of any dimension. __ As for farming, have you guys tried to make Soul shards yet? I have three active farms set up in less than a day for any type of crafting material I would need (Slime, skulls and gunpowder).
pimhazeveld Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 yes i made a zombiespawner that maked 1 zombie per sec appear to prevent lag i made a on/off switch its also an exp/rare loot farm
David_Wolfe Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'm currently experimenting with a Manyullyn bow tagged with draw-speed enchantments and then enchanting Manyullyn-slime-feather arrows to shoot extremely quick extremely far, so far the best damage I made it do is 14 across a chunk, tagging and killing a spider. I lack the materials the experiment more. And with enchantments, I obviously mean modifications, but I can imagine I might make it a little more interesting... Hmmm... time to do some RESEARCH!
Dash16 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I could use your guys help on the Official Hexxit Wiki in the Tinkers' Construct section, if you could spare some time. Seems like we've got some knowledge here that could be shared. The Cleaver and the Shortbow, for example, still need to be written or fleshed out.
David_Wolfe Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Well, sure, if you don't mind me going into specific details with excel charts and what not. EDIT Also, let me make it clear that i have absolutely no knowledge on wikipedia. Temp page for the shortbow is up, I have no knowledge on how the cleaver works so far.
Dash16 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Well, sure, if you don't mind me going into specific details with excel charts and what not. EDIT Also, let me make it clear that i have absolutely no knowledge on wikipedia. Temp page for the shortbow is up, I have no knowledge on how the cleaver works so far. OUTSTANDING. And don't worry about not having any knowledge of wiki language, I started learning it myself just a few months ago. Most of the major contributors for this are new to wiki code, and I see the page you've built fits well with the rest of the pages already written. Thanks so much!
David_Wolfe Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Oh my, I'm glad I'm doing this research... I'll post whatever I find on the wiki page shortly, it's... interesting, to say the least. Edit: Both arrows and Shortbows were just upped, I'll probably improve it over time, I usually write an article and then rewrite it 50 times. Okidoki, done hijacking this thread! xD
Kalthas Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 I'd love to help out but I'll have to figure out how the editor works.... any suggestions for where to look as a reference?
David_Wolfe Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Any other page, use the edit button and see how the format works using the preview function. Otherwise, wikipedia has their own little category that explains all the functions and most, if not all, of the functions work. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial )
Dash16 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 David_Wolfe, you rock all kinds of awesome. Thanks for the descriptive entries! Take care, editing wikis can be habit forming. Consult a doctor if you find yourself up at odd hours of the night meticulously editing damage values and whatnot. Oh in the interest of getting this topic back on track, we could take further discussion here: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/wiki-help.48288/ Thanks again guys!
Lethosos Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'll take a gander over the TConstruct page, see if there's any holes there and fix it up a little.
