I come here seeking help from explorers better than I: How in the name of all that is holy are you supposed to beat this pack in hardcore mode? Has anyone done it? Were you especially lucky? Do you have any general survival tips? Helpful items to craft, or mechanics I may be overlooking...

Yep, after a bit of digging, that's indeed the issue---and it's reportedly been fixed for the next (and final) 1.7.10 release of AM2. Can't wait.

You may be right, I can't claim to be an expert: I'm an ender mage who just bamfs as needed. Contingency: Health --> Self --> Mark --> Divine intervention is probably the greatest spell ever. The number of times it's saved my ass when I go boss-fighting without remembering to change out of...

I'm having a few issues with my Hubris playthrough, and was hoping some of you fine folks may have some solutions for me :) I'm playing by myself on a server, which I let run when I am not online via Chunkloaders. I can no longer place blocks "into" Carpenter's Blocks. They simply place next...

I suspect you don't do much adventuring through twisty, spawner-filled dungeon corridors ;) It goes nicely in a "panic button" Contingency -> AOE spell, for situations where you're being swarmed: Skeletons drop their bows, Zombies drop their swords---both of which can be extremely threatening...

I think this is a great idea. With mad respect to Mithion, AM2 is one of the worst documented mods out there for communicating how much is possible---the Arcane Compendium is full of outdated and outright wrong information (e.g. the "Blind" component is utterly useless on anyone other than...

I might throw in an AOE+Knockback+Disarm+Slow+3x Buff Power, if you can afford it (don't use Entangle---Entangle stops mobs from being knocked back, whereas Slow + 3x Buff Power is virtually identical to Entangle, but works with Knockback). As for "better", I don't know if this counts, but I...

Awesome: Exactly what I needed. You're good people, thanks a ton! I've edited your solution into my post for others to see.

Three strategery questions for you finer and capabler folk than I. A thousand blessings upon you for reading---and even more blessings (just a few trillion shy of a quintillion) for replying :) How's My Armor? This is my current "combat gear" set. Any...

Yeah, I know the feeling---a highly-levelled Iguana TiCo sword is rough, but losing your entire AM2 repertoire of spells is absurd. I play modded Minecraft with a strict "mobs no touchy my gear" rule, and set configs accordingly. (Don't get me wrong, I like the risk of me losing my gear...

I've been tinkering around in the configs, mostly with an eye to ramping up the world's hostility now that I'm a Mbit Tahoma more established, and thought I'd share my changes in case they appeal to anyone else (and to check with DrasticDemise that I'm not missing some really good reason to...

You are a beautiful, gorgeous man, sir. While I'm here... I've still not started the Witchery chapter, because that ominous "rework Witchery quest line" entry in the front page to-do has me worried it'll all be changed/reset. I know you replied earlier on this, but I didn't quite understand...

What Tips/Tricks Do You Think Most People Don't Know? I've been playing through Hubris very slowly---sometimes a week will go by without opening the Quest Book---just because there are so many things to explore in all the various mods... I haven't even touched Witchery, Blood Magic or that...

Yeah, both are in the minecraft/config/Thaumcraft.cfg file. (And, while I'm here, I must emphasize the importance of reviewing the config files for the mods you use in any custom-built pack---it's not only helpful to customize the game to your liking, it can also help you narrow down the causes...

To be honest, I'm starting to move away from trying to create a single Energized Node for my base, to instead creating multiple Energized Nodes where I need them. Big Aura Nodes with 100+ of a single Primal Aspect are fairly common, and it's not too hard to find a Bright one. I have a pure...

Surrounding a Hungry Node with Obsidian isn't difficult, thanks to one weakness: a Hungry Node can't pull you off an edge if you're holding Shift. So, you can inch your way towards the Hungry Node by building a bridge, placing blocks down at your feet as you're dragged closer---you'll always...

I've got 'em, no idea how though---Essentia Mirrors and Essentia Pumps (from Witchery Gadgets) are base-critical :)

I just tested these, and they all work... absurdly well. Too well. This is definitely an unintended interaction between the Wave and Beam shapes. This one, in particular, is absolutely insane: The stats are accurate: a 900-block region is saturated with a rain of absurdly-high damage for...

Anyone know how armor works? I'd very much appreciate a moment of your time, I have a few questions: Why am I taking non-magical damage with 26 armor points? At 26 pts (thanks, Earth Armor!), vanilla mechanics would have me negating 104% of all incoming non-magical damage (26 pts, at 4%...

Anyone having trouble getting passive mobs to spawn? I've set up a spawning area ~5 chunks from my base. It is: two chunks wide all Grass Plains biome (converted via Ethereal Blooms) surrounded by Cobblestone walls (to prevent passive spawns from wandering into surrounding Tainted Land) lit...
