Seeing as I have an account here and not there, I'll just put it here and be content at having done my civic duty by supplying an idea. Was playing with the demon summons last night in creative (And just did my first in my SMP game, little golem of awesome.) And noticed that all so far are combat oriented. I'd like to see one or two utility summons. My first thought was a 'Reaper' demon, big scary scythe or something...forced into menial farm labor. Aka, harvests grown crops and puts into the nearest inventory.

If it's already been suggested, I apologize. Your other post with 70+ pages is tough to read all the way through. Glad it's so large though, absolutely loving the mod.

Why it has to be a video? Is it so complicated that couldn't explain in words?
Is it so hard to create something like what Witchery does https://sites.google.com/site/witcherymod/getting-started ?

(Sorry, Esheon, not against you. I'm just annoyed to see another YouTube link when looking for some docs)

No worries. I usually prefer written guides myself, but Ako seemed to have more info than any other source I found. So far, it looks like the FTB wiki only goes up to the beginning of T3. Hopefully we'll get more on there soon, as it's always easier for me to just "ctrl-f" a written guide to find what I need.

@Esheon and @Odovbold, I'm currently in the middle of writing up a starting guide for Blood Magic and have it up to the entry for tier 4. If either of you (or anyone else, for that matter) want, I can push it out early and get it up on the forums here in under an hour. It won't be 100% complete, but it's something.

Edit: It's up.

I would appreciate it very, very much. I find that reading things helps me to absorb things better rather than watching videos. But you definitely don't need to rush since I have a couple other things to do in my world before I want to approach Blood Magic.

I'll get what's done with it out here soon then, just doing a little bit of polish right now. I'll add a link to my sig and post it under Mod Discussion when it's up.

If you want a very simple tutorial that covers the first 2 altars;

I tried to explain the how and why of each block, and the intro tools. Ako's spotlight is far more in-depth, mine is the basic mechanics.

(I liked reading info better than YouTubes, so I tried to record my tutorial for people that learn like I do).

Don't rush it on my account. I got all the information I needed from Ako, but I do think it would be nice to have a full guide for others just starting on the mod.

No need to rush, it will take me days IRL to gather those materials required. :)

UPDATE: Didn't see you already finished it, looks great, thanks a lot.

Hmm, dumb question, as Padfoote may have answered it in his guide, but is there, or how do you, do passive LP generation. Other than right clicking with an orb, or making sacrifices? I thought I saw someone make mention of it somewhere.

You can make yourself a Ritual of Regeneration combined with a Ritual of the Feathered Knife for self-sacrifice, or build a mob spawner and a Well of Suffering. Both will respect runes you have on your altar to increase LP gain.

The Ritual of Regeneration actually has a slot in it for either the Ritual of the Feathered Knife or for the Well of Suffering to fit into.

Is the Ritual of Regeneration a standard ritual you haven't written in the guide about yet? I saw KirinDave do a ritual binding in episode 13 or so of his LP, and it looked like what you have in your guide. (needless to say, I am a total noob at this).

It's a more advanced ritual due to the Dusk Rune requirement, so it'll be a bit before I get to in my guide, sorry about that. If you have any questions though, feel free to ask.

I believe it's a T4 ritual, maybe even T5... http://ftbwiki.org/Rituals#Ritual_of_Regeneration

The second episode of Ako the Builder's guide should cover both regeneration and suffering, if you want a closer look at the layout.

How do I know how much LP is in my various orbs?

LP is stored in a single collective network, which your Divination Sigil will tell you have much is in it with a right click. The orbs simply increase that capacity.

Hey there way of time, I am (hopefully) uploading a public mod pack which contains Blood Magic, and as the mod permissions spreadsheet says, you would like to be notified of your mod being used in any mod pack. So, I am just saying that you see the pack "The 95 Pack" then you will know that your mod is included in said pack.

Lol, I seriously doubt a post on the ftb forums constitutes 'informing' a mod author of inclusion of their mod in a public mod pack. Might try their minecraftforums post.
