[Listed] 1.7.10 - Simply Magic [HQM][Magic][Light][Tutorial-Themed]

[signupsucks]

Has anyone managed to kill an elephant?

I'm sitting on a pillar in a Mystcraft age, shooting spells at one, and it just won't die. I've gained maybe 4 levels already, and 4% in two affinities.

(the spell is projectile-magic damage-force damage, and I'm now level 13...)

I've both tried and killed one.

They have 200 health. I think the basic force-damage attack does 8 damage?

I actually had a problem of not being able to hit them at all for a while, whether with magic, arrows, or even melee (although melee is suicide against them). However, that issues seemed to be resolved after an update - I'm not sure if it was a bug with the Dark Menagerie mod or the particular elephant itself or what.

Are you actually hurting the elephant - that is, it is clearly taking damage and is now angry at you and trying to kill you? Then just keeping shooting and it'll die eventually.

I killed one while exploring with a simple projectile-magic damage spell. That thing chased me across half the map, but it died eventually.

I can't tell if I'm hurting it, because the WAILA range is very short in this pack, and it hits me for 7/10 hearts from outside that range... It was angry and chasing me, and it turned red when hit, so I believe I hit it.

To give you an idea, I drank a mana potion, for a total of 90 seconds of spamming the spell. Plus all those levels of spamming. And every time you level you gain full mana for more spamming.

That spell kills a Creeper in 3 hits for comparison.

I think it might be a certain amount of damage is necessary to even hurt it. I can kill them with a magic damage spell, but I'm also level 50, using an arcane spellbook, So I probably do a bit more damage than level 13. Though I have no idea how hard I hit, it isn't too hard for me to kill them now though.

In case you're wondering, its drop loot is basically just leather and steak

What can I use the arcane levitator with, so that when I reach the upper floor I stop going up?

Well, if its eyes are red you hurt it directly somehow, so whatever you did initially must have done some little amount of damage.

I don't know about the "minimum damage to hurt" mentioned earlier, though that might explain why it is taking so long if the force damage spell is being mitigated somehow. But that was never my experience, even against enemies with armor, like the living armor mobs from Menagerie.

An alternative explanation is that all mobs have a delay after being hit before they can be hit again. If you're spamming as fast as you can possibly cast you might get off three or four spells when only one actually deals damage. I forget if elephants "bump" a bit when they get hit like normal mobs do.

They do when they actually get hurt. I remember thinking that they were immune to damage when I was lower level. They never did that. Later on I was flying around and randomly tried again, but this time he took damage.

Given the amount of trouble to kill one, you'd expect them to drop ivory...

I've been forgetting to ask: is The End supposed to have no pillars to heal the dragon? Or was it some weird part of world generation?

 

[RealKC]

Maybe try to make a world with the same seed and make an ender portal and see if it happens again

 

[Tylor]

I had pretty normal End in 1.7.10 and barely any pillars in 1.8.9
Probably a generator whims.

 

[RealKC]

Weird

 

[Ashendale]

I made another world with the seed. Weird right up front. My world was generated with mountains and ups and downs everywhere (so much that I rushed step assist). Using ATG.

Reboot the world. Seed and ATG enabled and everything is different. No mountains that I saw from spawn to Ender Portal (which in the original world does not nearly happen). And The End has obelisks... Dunno what to make of this...

Maybe a Slipstream Generator from Ars Magica is more convenient for that? You can stop by sneaking.

So here how i managed the xp and the blaze rod farm

Spoiler

I built a 11x11x13 Room

And put a hole in the middle

Underneath i put a corporeal attractor with a redstone torch

And a system with lava and a piston for turn on/off the spawn

after a couple minutes i made 2 stacks and half of Blaze Rod
(PS. I made some enchants so my xp is low)

that is easy as f**

 

[Reaperjtm1]

I noticed something weird in Thaumic Horizons tab in the book, Golemancers bell is flashing Not researched, yet I try to click to research and it consumes paper and ink, but outside of that nothing happens what is going on, also shouldn't it be just a link from the Golemancy Tab anyways like other things from the core mechanics?

Little feedback.

MC is real pain , it exist so long and they can not add simple way to return back .
ruined pretty seed with realistic world gen , awesomeness which u could only dream off.

as for quest rewards i would like to have heart crystals not usual ones , but the one from the mod , which litteraly gives u +2 MAX HP , i simply can not have enough HP in this game and this reward is realy worth the afford since their spawn rate underground is very rare (u could get at best luck 5 hearts from 1 region...)

also i highly recomend add few other mods which would have something with "magic"
EE2 is kind of magic , since there is almost no way to collect stuff ee2 would solve the problem , because mining without a single mod is fun killer .

GrimoireOfGaia3-1.7.10-1.2.7 (third part is out finaly) , if there were a difficulty range , this mod takes game to the maximum level. but it gives challanging feeling
even geared up to the max , mob that been added by GOG3 are beyong immagination, and also they look good.

fairymod-0.5-1.7.10 , little things that somewhat magical and gives "life" to your game is realy must

FastLeafDecay-1.7.10-1.0
GardenStuff-1.7.10-1.6.8
GrimoireOfGaia3-1.7.10-1.2.7
HUDWidgets_[1.7.10]-0.6.1
Iron Backpacks-1.7.10-1.0.4-universal
ironchest-1.7.10-6.0.62.742-universal
Pam's HarvestCraft 1.7.10k
RTG-1.7.10-0.6.2 (world generator , i just love it now =)
zombieawareness v1.9.6 for MC v1.7.10 (makes zombies smarter , increase dificulty)
[1.7.10][1.7.2] Heart Crystal 1.0 (best mod for rewards ever )
Goki-Stats-Mod-1.7.2 (for extra survival , cuz of GoG3)

i have more mods added like BR ,EIO , LP and such but thats because playing without this mods would not be fun anymore for me so its my own prefferences.

and there is realy few quest , i played game for 24h without opening quest book but once i did , i was not amazed much...

Hello
Screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/LfCQd
I dont know if this was asked before but i think there is a bug in Straw Golem quest in TC
I tried crafting the golem both by using alchemical construct and by cheating but none of them updated the relevant quest where it needs 1 Straw golem and a golemancer's bell.
The quest didnt update when i tried placing golem in the world and getting it back via the bell either.
Bell part is updated though.

Thanks
