Just a tip I saw from a fellow player:

If you are adventuring and finding alot of Builders Wand you can with an uncraftingtable uncraft it and get the unstable ingot from it. So with many Builders Wands you can get many unstable ingots and craft the sword etc with them. And the funny thing is that they will not explode :D

I dont know if its a bug or what but at last something to use all my Builders Wand for.

already know this and abused it before. I was even able to uncraft the unstable ingot and get a free activated sigil

Lost as always
The uncrafting table, in general, is host to a whole slew of bugs, including the infamous gravity gun nether star farm.[DOUBLEPOST=1390756755][/DOUBLEPOST]

The most powerful thing about the activated sigil is the cursed earth it creates when you activate it for use in mob grinders. Everything else is just gravy.

My connection is sometimes not so good so working with unstable ingots on a server is... very risky.

I can finally get to the Deep Dark without dying!

You could just make unstable nuggets(which are actually stable IIRC) and make your ingots that way(again, results in a "stable" unstable ingot) with gold nuggets instead of iron ingots.

Are you sure you can craft things with the dud ingot? I think I remember either seeing or reading something about how unstable ingots that don't count down are useless.

They used to be, but then again, we never had a way to make stable ingots, which already existed at the time that info was new(they just were creative mode only).

They might still be useless, then, because the ingot you get with nuggets most likely works in a different way. Unless the one you get by uncrafting says STABLE in the tooltip.

There is actually a secret ritual that lets you get a stable division sigil so you can make stable unstable ingots without using nuggets. Its been in the mod for a whiles and someone figured it out and posted on the internet a whiles ago. Its quite a bit more tricky than the normal ritual and I won't link or tell you how to to do it. The reason is that its currently broken but RWTema said he would fix it when he gets the time.

It involves killing quite a few mobs which are each dangerous and a lot of fairly rare things are needed in the ritual, its end game for sure.

true, but considering the sigils are dungeon loot, they may be quite difficult to obtain on servers.
through this method, more players are able to obtain the sigils, although it's quite cheaty.

plus cursed earth can spead and be silk touched, so you only need to do one ritual on a server, silk touch it all, and that person can just trade it with others without the server having to do another ritual, and the sigils obtained through the uncrafting table can also be traded with others

Sigils, along with the nether star, always drop from a successfully killed Wither, so they're quite easy to obtain without scouring the world for dungeons.

In a modded environment with both tinkers construct (smiting hammers) and thaumcraft (warded blocks), containment and dispatch are relatively trivial. Then again, perhaps I've spent too much time in modpacks without either of those things...

Wait, people still melee withers? HANDGUN OF JUSTICE SIR (or blood magic bazooka). Gun that wither down in style!

Currently, Thaumcraft has not re-implemented warded blocks since the great TC4 update shift. Unless this has just recently changed, it is a technique-in-waiting. :eek:

Can use those blast-resistant blocks from ICx? That should work...I think. (my server has mob block destruction disabled...think the Host had a creeper touch him in his naughty place at some point, so I'm working off memory from 1.5.2 SSP.)

Ah, well I haven't done it in awhile. The good old 1x2x40 shaft still works well.[DOUBLEPOST=1390848531][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well it only took a few swipes from the hammer. It was kinda ridiculous.

MFFS can allow you to automate the killing of withers, and if you really know what you're doing, the creation of them too. Havent tried it on 1.6.4 packs yet. I know someone used turtles to create them too. So long as you can supply it with wither skulls and soul sand, you can fully automate the whole thing.

RotaryCraft's allows you to craft bed rock blocks. Wither can't escape from a room made of bed rock. :p
