What are the best ways to get emeralds without mining? I know a way with UU-Matter but isnt there a cheaper , automated way?

Trade with NPC villagers is the best way, even better than mining. Once you have 1 you can use EE to duplicate it.

Or use tier 5 witch shard to get redstone and use the tome of alkahest to make infinite lapis, compress to lapis block, then make emerald with the tome of alkahest

You can craft emeralds with EE3? Huh. I thought that wasn't possible. You could also use Xeno's Reliquary and get a Tome of Alkhestry, and make emeralds with that, but it's kind of hard to craft, needing a bunch of nether stuff and a book.(even needs a wither skull!)
Costs a couple blocks of lapis to make two emeralds from one, but you shouldn't be hurting for lapis for long if you quarry a huge hill in the Twilight Forest.(if it's a big enough one you can find emeralds too!)
Heck, any decent source of lapis would do. But you'll need lots.
Also, just found another symbol pack for MystCraft, mainly adding more ores for tendrils. Actually, it's only new ores for Tendrils, but it's all kinds of useful ores, from copper to apatite to IRIDIUM, and even sheldonite for people who are too rich to mine Iridium Tendrils.

YX33A:
I'm quite interested in that pack(mainly for copper :p), can you post a link?

And to add my 2 cents to the conversation, let's not forget emerald bees.

I would hope that those symbols add guaranteed, melt your face in 30 seconds, instability. Otherwise it's just creative-resources-by-mod

hopefully, if you used iridium tendrils, you would get *every* form of instability that exists, with no chance of stabilizing the world.

Depending on how much you want and how fast you want it... i would recommend using Mystcraft to try to make an Extreme Hills single Biome flat and just drop a quarry or 2 in there.

Honestly I find the simplest and most effective way to get Emeralds is to take an NPC village under your wing (set up tons of torches around it to prevent monster spawns.. use Xycraft bricks as road pavers because monsters cannot spawn on them, etc) and start breeding villagers (there are DireWolf20 episodes for this on Youtube). You'll eventually start getting villagers that will give you emeralds in exchange for books, and books are REAL easy to come back if you find MystCraft Libraries in MystCraft ages.

Plus.. books in general are just not hard to make, resource-wise.

Actually,he isn't.Pahimar made EE2, while Xeno's Reliquary is by x3n0ph0b3 :)

You are incorrect, Pahimar took over EE2 as its maintainer after x3n0ph0b3 got tired of modding. x3n0ph0b3 is the one that made both EE and EE2 and has returned to modding after a long rest to make Xeno's Reliquary.

In other words EE3 is Pahimar first mod from start to finish on his own and he is doing a amazing job at it.

Indeed... though I kinda miss that gem thing that could automatically compress cobble up to clay, iron, gold, diamonds, and eventually all the way to redmatter (which might happen if you set off a few nova cataclysms :D). Anyone remember what that was called? The Destiny Gem or GODE or something. Now that was truly properly overpowered :D :D :D
