[Soul Shards] for FTB Unleashed. Question(s).

[PierceSG]

I know that the soul shard + anvil bug (feature? ) has been removed and now one has to gather the souls manually. So what is the best way to gather them? I'm trying to get a Tier 5 Endermen Soul Shard but to kill 1024 (correct?) Endermans manually is a little taxing.

Any tricks?

I think the only thing left that helps is a high-level Soul Stealer enchant, that can cut the 1024 down to around 200. Personally I switched to MFR spawners instead

You can use Dartcraft's Force Infuser to put Soul Stealer IV on a Force Sword.

Oh? But I've noticed that my soul gem isn't getting any souls when I slay the Endermans with my Force Sword (without Soul Stealer). Is the enchantment a must? If so, what is the item required for Soul Stealer?

Soul Wafers. You get them by bottling entities with the Rod of Holding and then smelting them.

Thanks! I will give it a try.

Ok,
Nice that the bug was fixed. But am I the only one that thinks it a bit mute to have to go to the End to get a Soul Shard to start grinding mobs? If your hitting The End, the Game for all intense purposes is over. Unless I'm missing another way of obtaining EndStone. Chance of an EndStone Age with Mystcraft seems few and far between unless you have the symbol. Can it be crafted with UU matter? Anyone know any other ways of getting some endstone that isnt like a 1% chance?

If you install Ars Magica, worldgen will create mage towers made of End Stone fairly often. Other than that, I don't think there's a way. :/

Hitting the End is the "end-game" for vanilla traditionally, however in modded minecraft, you have options to reduce the difficulty of this, and also the fact is "End-game" is a perception.

What you can do, is ninja some end-stone away from the ender dragon with some linking books from mystcraft. Basically you portal in, find which way the dragon is, go the opposite, mine some and teleport out again.

Else without mystcraft you can do this with an ender-pouch. Get some end-stone, stick it in an ender-pouch, put everything else in there too, including the actual pouch. You now have an empty inventory and will lose nothing dying to the void to get back to the overworld.

Make sure you don't have experience levels on you, either--an Experience Tome from DartCraft will work wonders for that purpose.

Well, I've no worries with the end dragon. Mps railgun made short work of it even without destroying the healing crystals. =p
Now the issue lies at my infuser tome's tier is still too low.

Is anyone else seeing any glitchy behavior with them?

Specifically:

• If you break a cage with a t5 shard in it, you only get the cage back, the shard is lost
• If you place 4 cages next to each other with t5 spawners:
  • Putting a lever on the first one appears to control 1 & 2, putting a lever on the third one controls 3 & 4
  • Using rednet cable with forced connection with colours seems to control each spawner individually
  • Breaking rednet cable that has a signal at any part of the run causes all spawners to spawn (even ones before the break)
  • Don't seem to recognize the signal from wireless receivers properly most of the time

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior?
Here is a screenshot illustrating some of this. I have two receivers, and two levers. One of each is on, one of each is off....yet nothing is spawning. There is a t5 in each cage.

Spoiler

1.) I'm experiencing that too. WAI?
2.) WAI.
3.) WAI.
4.) WAI?
5.) IDK, I used wireless in conjunction with rednet cables and they worked fine that way.
