Done Continuation on Affinity Tome: None ; Recipe Suggestions

The last thread discussed the need of the Affinity Tome: None as affinities can give players nasty debuffs they may not want while leveling up in Ars Magica. I conceded that putting it on the market would have made it too accessible, and while it can be farmed by acquiring a Dark Mage, these guys are harder to find then you might expect. So we'll be discussing reasonable recipes for the Tome.

John's initial suggestion for making them out of the essence's might be a little close to resonable, as acquiring them requires you to either fight their respective bosses or by crafting them in the essence refiner. Although, there are 10 different essences, so choosing which ones to make the book out of would depend on how hard they are to craft or farm. Here's my suggestion for the crafting recipe.


In the middle is a Arcane Compendium, which would be easy enough to acquire with a bucket of etherium handy. Surrounding it on the sides are the Earth Water Fire and Air essences, as each of these cancel out the other, so it'd make since that the combined some would equal none. On the corners would be vinteum dust.

 

i would say arcane ash in the corners and the rest as u said

 

This seems unnecessary. Just buff the spawn rates of Dark Mages and be done with it

 

true i would need a custom version of am2 for that

 

Is it not in the config by default?

Here:

Code:

 I:MageSpawnRate=1

 

so there is

 

I think it's a great idea to be able to make the affinity time none because the pacifist perk on the life affinity is (pardon my choice of words) cancerous like seriously kill one creature and you can't kill another for 5 hole seconds!!! Well RIP rootbeeralaska, died to a hoard of zombie pigman, he could kill him but being a pacifist prevented it.

 

The mod is built to promote forethought on your spellcasting, and it's difficult to max out an affinity unintentionally. If you've managed to get to a point where you've maxed an affinity out without being able to obtain the tome, I have no idea how you got there.

 

It's super easy to max out and affinity...spam cast a spell and you'll get your affinity to 100% in 10 minutes, stand on top of a obelisk (keep in mind that that thing gives mana regen) and just spam your chosen spell my case a heal spell. I just have a suggestion for the pacifist effect keep the nausea and hunger but remove the not being able to kill things for 5 seconds, to me that's a bit overkill (hunger is not a problem I have the saturation infusion on my helmet )

 

You maxed out your affinity intentionally and are now complaining that it has negative effects that you were made aware of by the mod?

 

I'm not complaining I'm just pointing out that making the affinity tome none us a good idea (I didn't do it intentionally, I was doing it to gain XP)

Or you can add the dark Mage spawn egg to the market and get a powered spawner for it >.>[DOUBLEPOST=1458232336,1458147973][/DOUBLEPOST]The config to increase the Mage spawn rate is for all of them combined I could make code so it depends on which biome spawns a certain Mage, because right now they spWn wherever and whenever they want[DOUBLEPOST=1458232681][/DOUBLEPOST]@The_Icy_One I have a suggestion ( no offense but the Ars Magic leveling system is kinda...lacklustered...? Maybe make it so bosses drop a certain amount of Ars magica XP, low level bosses drop small amounts of xp but end game bosses drop large amount of XP. Right now it's super hard to get to like level 50 because of how leveling scales.) make the XP gaining a little stronger. (All you need to do or me if you want me to make a code is add XP dropping to the item drops list that bosses have) when you have time

 

Stop spamming a single spell and your level gains will speed up massively.

 

Okay well I'm about to make my one touch death poke spell soon

 

The recipe LordFungi suggested could be used for all of the other affinity tomes too, just change the essence to be 4 of the affinity u want.

 

not having the other ones there not needed use your spells

 

@coolgi3000 all the other tomes drop from there specified Mage

 

no they dont the none one drops from dark mages all other tomes are unobtainable

 

But I got a lightning tome from a lightning Mage ;-;

 

really
