Thaumcraft Enchant options - I want your opinion!

[Blanq820]

So, I made a Wand of Lightning, lv 30 enchant and got Charging I. -/)
Made a second one 30 levels later, Potency II - Frugal III (now we're talking)

Question up for discussion is, should I:
A) spend 31 levels to combine the two wands into Potency II - Charging I (can only hold 2 enchants), or
B) make a third one once its near breaking and spend 30 levels on another random enchant?

Frugal III seems to make the wand quite durable, and I am sporting the Thaumcraft gear (all with Repair II ) short of the boots cause Traveler's are just so good, so I think this current wand will last a while. And yes, I know there's better stuff to use as weapons right now in the mod pack (say, for instance, my power IV - flame I - infinity I bow), but the thought of going "UNLIMITED POWAH!!!!" and zapping zombies, creepers, spiders, skeles, and endermen alike is just too much fun!

yeah the lightning rod is far better than fire/ice, my advice would be to make a xp grinder & start enchanting books, or make & enchant wands over & over because you can get enchants on items that I beleave you will not get on books, the book ways costs more lvls & eats an anvil, the multiple wand take more mats, I do both, & use any excess books for there aspects.

just combine them and add unbreaking later, works just like frugal, but is compatible with charging.

Combine the wands to get rid of Frugal.

Charging and Frugal are conflicting enchantments, and Charging is ultimately the better enchant in the (very) long run.

What does the Charging enchant do? i got a book with Charging I and i have no idea what to do with it..

 

[egor66]

charging is like repair for wands.

Enchant books to get potency on the charging wand == Never have to make another lightning wand again
