1.7.10 good non-endgame hammer?

[tassu]

Hi.
I am wanting to make and non-endgame hammer from TiCo. I am able to use almost everything found in overworld, and netherrack.

Thanks!

For my mid game hammer I normally just use basic iron. Cheap to repair until I can make an end game hammer later.

Steel or bronze look like good bets (assuming you have a Coke Oven/Blast Furnace for the steel) for a TiCo hammer. Add a moss ball for regen, and that will offset the lower durability - although repair materials should be cheap.

Depends on what mods you have available. If you have Mekanism, or Tinker's Steelworks, use Steel for the head. Otherwise, Iron works perfectly well.

For a low-end hammer, just use Flint for the hammerhead. This has the added advantage of not being able to actually break lapis and redstone, so you can use your fortune/silktouch pick on them.

I used a cobblestone hammer until I had materials for my end game hammer last world. It lets you clear out the stone, which you can use to repair it as you go. It's by no means the fastest method, but if you make a decent pick to accompany it, finding materials for your end game hammer doesn't take much effort if you focus on it.

If you're looking for something between that and end game, I second the bronze/steel option. Easy enough to acquire for repair if you don't RF or Moss it, while still having enough punch to get the job done. I usually rush a steel pick head for the mining level, then push through to the Nether for Cobalt for pick and hammer heads. Once you have that, you're sitting on the end game content of TiCo, so it's a pretty small push if you rush it with a plan.

Cobblestone head, Iron Rod, and whatever kind of plate you want. The Cobblestone head makes it cheap to repair, the Iron Rod gives you magnetic.

tbh if you want a decent and easy to get hammer, just make it out of bronze. Similar stats to steel but much easier to acquire early on. And because it's easier to get than steel I tend to end up just making a steel pick to break cobalt and ardite blocks to open up THAT tier of stuff.

For what it is worth, the steal hammer *is* my endgame hammer. I use the 3 modifiers for silk, RF-energy and speed. Blue slime for a handle, and... Done! Thats all I need.

Stone also has the stone binding property, so my stone hammer, with wood rod, is actually pretty fast once it gets half damaged. I just never repair it beyond half damage, and there is my mid-game hammer.

There exist no early game hammer.

No magnetic in MC-1.7.10 that's a part of TiC-2 (the 1.10.2 version)

Yeah, I noticed that when I saw the title was 1.7.10, but I don't know if that's a recent change or I'm just blind.

One who favours the shortlived game?

My current hammer has a bedrock tool rod, an awakened draconium head, thaumium and magical wood plates (for the extra modifiers). Add in three extra modifiers from diamond/gold/golden apple/nether star and it has 7. One for lapis, the rest for pure speed.

And that's only something I class as endgame because I needed to go most of the way through Rotarycraft progression for a bedrock breaker and I needed an automated Nether Star generator and multiple resurrections of the Ender Dragon to get the draconium ^_^

I like many people use a cobble hammer early on. Ill add a diamond to it with the rest redstone to get good speed and can mine mostly anything. Depending on the pack but if it has iguana tweeks ill change out the 2 plates and handle for ardite for durability and add more modifiers to get more speed & fortune. This usually is my first and last hammer since after i get a quarry up i really dont go branch mining that much.

I have iguanas tinkers tweaks, so I use a mossy bronze hammer with iron plates
