    This thread is where you can post your favorite combos and why. I have tested the different combos of these tools and have found what i think are the "best" for me. For tools i tend to use a steel tool head since in very easy to make using Railcraft and its not much lower then the nether ores. For my Weapons i use manyullyn even though it has the same damage as steel, i use it for its durability since i use paper in my builds. Also in my tools i tend to use an emerald for the 50% durability buff.

    Disclaimer: I am not saying these are the "best", im saying they are the best for me I Often Use Steel as my Tool Heads for easy repairs

    All tools and weapons have th e+3 modifiers from, Diamond/gold block, Golden apple/diamond block, Nether star

    Hammer- Cobalt head, Paper Plates, thaumium rod
    Modifiers: Silky, RedStone, Flux

    Pickaxe- Cobalt head, paper binding, Thaumium tool rod
    Modifiers #1: Max fortue, redstone, Flux
    This is a fast pick with good durability, you can add repair if you like to this also


    Rapier- Manyullyn sword, paper guard, Thaumium rod
    Modifier: Max out quartz for damage
    This is the kill all weapon when 1 v 1 or mobs are spread out

    Scythe- Manyullyn scythe head, paper binding, paper rod, thamium rod
    Modifier: Max quartz
    This weapon i see rarely used but it is one of the strongest in the pack. in a mob of mobs you hit all the mobs with the damage of the scythe, you can take out swarms in 1 or 2 hits where with a sword you need to hit each one.

    Cutlass- Manyullyn sword, paper guard, thamium rod
    Modifiers, Max looting, quartz
    This is my mob drop collecter when i need to kill mobs for items,

    Cleaver- Manyullyn sword, paper plate, paper rod, Thaumium rod
    80% Beheading, Quartz till 20+ Damage, Flux
    I make a Second Cleaver with Max quartz only as my wither killer


    Bow- Green Slime Rods, Enchanted string
    Modifier, Max red stone

    Arrows- Alumite head, Slime shaft, Feather fletching
    modifier max quartz
    * you can change arrows in many ways, i sometime use cactus heads,
    Tip: Upgrade a stack of arrows at a time, to save resources on modifying them

    Most likely my favorite weapon in the game. I prefer to use the following materials and modifiers thou...
    • Head: Manyullyn
    • Binding: Paper
    • Rod: Thaumium
    • Rod: Manyullyn
    • Mod #1: Max fortune / Looting
    • Mod#2: Quartz
    This gives the max modifier slots and the best durability.

    I like to make a luck pickaxe like this.
    manylium head, paper binding, thaumium tool rod.
    mod it with
    diamond block and notch apple
    gold block and diamond
    Nether star
    that's 9 mod slots

    Then I put leadstone energy cell for flux
    448lapis and let it accumulate the rest for best luck
    and the rest is 300 redstone for op speed.

    And I make a silk pick the same way just swap the lapis for silky jewel.

    For swords I use rapier for armoured targets and special mobs
    that's manylium blade, thaumium guard and paper rod.
    All extra modifiers
    Full on lapis, flux and rest is quarts.

    For everything else I like the cleaver
    manylium blade, thaumium and paper for the rest.
    All extra modifiers
    mod with flux, and quarts. One shots most mobs..

    I also make beheading cleaver with same Material setup as previously.
    But now I mod with 90% beheading, quarts and flux.

    I do sometimes just drop the flux on weapons and go full on quarts if I'm in the mood and have manylium to repair them.

    The other day I silk mined diamonds with a digital miner and picked it with my luck pick and got just over 1500 diamonds from 30min work. I'm happy with that:)

    I don't use hammers anymore. Because of the awful ghost blocks..

    Depends on what mod pack, I'm used to having to have Three paper to get 2 modifiers. Same with Thaumium.

    its TiCon, For some reason when you have double paper you can get 2x extra modifiers as long as its 2 differant parts, like rod and plates- The key is to mix it up and use Thaumiam as 1 of the three
