Hey everyone,

Hundreds and hundreds of cows had to die so I can make my Signalum / Pink slime crossbow. I followed this guide:

http://adultparadise.co/mobile/foru...29/id/26695981-tinkers-highest-damaging-tools

For the bolt tip I used an enderium ingot and for the fletchling I used slimy leaves. I spent a lot of time gathering all these materials (I'm playing in survival mode) and I was really disappointed when this bow coupled with those bolts did NOT 1-shot zombies and pigmen. Why? Because my former crossbow, made entirely out of manyullyn, did 1-shot those mobs.

Upon further inspection I realized the two crossbows do the same amount of damage. However, the manyullyn bolts, for some reason I cannot fathom, do MORE damage than the enderium ones. EVEN THOUGH I put a LOT of quartz on the enderium ones and as you can see in the photos, they do significantly more damage. Long story short... the inferior damage manyullyn bolts 1-shot mobs on both crossbows, the enderium ones require 2 shots.

Help?

Look at the stats man. You want to look to Arrow Speed (the higher the better), Reload Time and find the best bolt. I would advise a combo of Steel and Manyullyn for the bolts, but I am going by memory.
