Mage Quest: Episode 1

Hey there buddy here and here and welcome to a new series that I’m running gonna be running while I am gone that is called mage quest it is a mod pack out of the feed the beast stuff for Minecraft so check it out if you’re interested it uses all of the mods that

Involve magic basically combines them all in the one big thing gives us a quest book which is really cool so as you can see I actually have some stuff quite a bit of stuff already the big reason for that is because I actually started recording this series previously

Um got to a certain point like four or five hours worth of episodes in and had messed my quest book up permanently and could not fix it so I decided to just scrap it and start over and use some of the stuff that I know now cuz I’ve

Learned some things I know some things not to do um but because of that I decided to just build a house I wanted to create a real quick built a house for myself gave myself a bunch of starting supplies and that’s mainly so that we

Don’t have to go and do a bunch of caving um early on because otherwise we would have to and it would take a long time and I ever did that and I’m just kind of ready to move on and try to do some of them are interesting things so

I’m trying to just skip out basically on doing all having to do all the really boring stuff that you have to do when you start minecraft that doesn’t mean that we won’t have to cave and stuff like that in this series maybe at different points but it’ll help us skip

Doing a bunch of it early on so like I’ve got a full set of iron armor of iron tools I have a couple stacks of iron in there a couple stacks of gold and some wood and that’s about it otherwise I think we’re pretty much ready to go other than it’s gonna be

Nighttime soon which figures will get cracking here on the quests in a second oh there’s a basement to the house too but there’s nothing in it yet it’s more of a prep for storage thing welcome to mage quest welcome scholar while your past deeds have brought you some renown know that

Even greater things await you you have been chosen to become an apprentice as an apprentice you have been granted the opportunity to study with some of the finest masters of the art you will learn the secret ways of the world paths to power hidden to all but a select few the

Book you now hold will serve as your guide for the duration of your time with the Masters it will automatically update you’re not as your knowledge grows and provide a link to your mentor should you need assistance simply turn the page to begin welcome apprentice to the guild of

Magic alright so let’s just we’re not playing hardcore mode obviously let’s begin with a basic primer on magic you’ll need to understand a bit about our magical traditions in order to choose a master wizard as your teacher there are four disciplines of magic each with different ways of unlocking your

Mystic potential absent teachers you may have noticed the school lacks walls and the teachers are not exactly present in bodily form we find new students often have unfortunate accidents so we prefer to teach from a safe distance don’t worry though we have provided a book and a quest delivery system to convey your

Teachers lessons for now let’s have a short lesson on how you complete assignments um this actually the quest delivery system isn’t going to matter in the end since we’re not playing in hardcore and that’s what that is for the first task type your teachers may require is a

Crafting test simply use a crafting bench to create the requested item most of the time if an item it has an equivalent in the or dictionary any item of that type will be acceptable for instance in this quest any wood planks will do all we need to do but we have a

Couple some boom I don’t remember if you have to actually use that specifically but ok so now to consume we need to turn in a dirt block of dirt which we do not have basically consuming quests will take an item of whatever and it’ll take

It out of your inventory so you just hit manual submit and you notice the dirts gone down here and then we claim the reward so we get the blocks which we don’t need ok so now the basics are out of the way let’s do it a more advanced assignment killing quests will require

You tell certain entities in this case a cow will do hopefully we can find a cow for really quickly when I did this last time we spent I’ll send an entire episode looking for a freaking cow see is the map of any use to us at the

Moment ooh cows up here we will need their leather later too this is a big hole in the ground Becker we will probably have to explore this at some point oh crap oh wait I should be fine um you know what since we’re down here we’ll throw a light down here too I

Will grab some of this other stuff some of the metals and stuff in here later I’m going to leave them for the moment because we don’t really need them right now ok so we killed the cow done and done claim our rewards we get enrollment parchment and seeds so now we get to

Pick which we want to do you can choose one school of magic as your specialty and one and two minor in you can only choose a total of two so choose carefully i already am gonna go with the stuff i did last time partially because one of them was i was really interested

In and I didn’t get to do much with and the other one I entirely messed up so Villiers why they do this is so that you have to go through this quest so this is one of the first ones we’re going to pick so we need to get a air shard and

Fire shard it relatively the science of magic a relatively recent discipline thaumaturgy relies on focused study and observation to work magic thaumaturges learn to understand the very essence of creation and manipulate power within specialized wands and machinery common uses include offensive spell work and chantment of items and the animation of

Golems so we need to get so this is going to be kind of a pain because we are going to run around for this one because we have to find stone that has the proper elements elemental shards attached to them for us to continue so we’ll go down here real quick and

Just see if we can find any another creeper reaper no creep in okay we’re having much luck here okay well let’s go ahead and head back and we’ll keep on truckin so we’re going to play we’re gonna play we’re gonna take Thelma church as our main um magic specialty which requires a

Which mainly uses the mod thalmic raft I’m pretty sure it mainly uses that so we all have much stuff to go on here oh one thing we need to do and I’m thinking about we have lungs that’s kind of creepy so we’re going to need to get some paper together fairly quickly here

And obviously to do that we need to read so we’re gonna grab some reeds here we’ll have to kill some more cows too but I wanted to try to get the reeds the reed to Joy shouldnt started right away and this mod has specific uses for ink

As a thaumaturge so good to keep that in mind if you choose to specialize in that the reason why I picked down matures originally the fam attract stuff is because not because of the mod but because i thought the creation of golems and stuff sound of interesting so that’s

Why i picked that originally we’re gonna go ahead and kill these cows over here because we need leather basically we just need to make a bookshelf is all I’m concerned about at the moment so we just needed nothing we have enough leather already to do that so we’ll kill

Them for food and I won’t worry about killing any other cows that we encounter that’s hot that’s lit why is that when lava Oh whole crapload of lava that will probably be useful to know later actually I’m still not really seen what we need any of what when you need so I

Have a good place that we’re going to head to is to try and get what we’re looking for for the quest book it will require some running around it’s really no no way around that but believe me this was a lot more challenging when I started last time and I’m okay with

Doing this start I really just want to get going I don’t want to waste as much time again it’s a little far from the house but you know what we’ll just plant them here a bunch of this here i’m just going to plant it all but it’s mainly

Just so that it’s not sitting in my inventory we can come and grab as much of it as we need to once we get to that point okay so now we will have to keep your eyes open amber which isn’t what we need these things are kind of interesting a

Guardians out there I had some dealings with one of those uh last time around I still don’t know a ton about this mod so if you’re concerned that I am ruined have kind of ruined it for me I really haven’t I didn’t get that far unfortunately I’m just trying to speed

Through some of their stuff okay so this is an interesting thing so you notice I’m sure the spiders these big trees here have spawners in them if they have web around them like this one does I am grabbing this for a reason by the way

I’m just gonna try and save us some time some of the running extra running around but you can get chests that have cool things in them we are going to want that later I should stop and grab some coal here to see I think for remember ray

This should be all I looked around this map a little bit just to get an idea and I didn’t look at all of it so there’s still plenty of different things I haven’t seen on here that’s some interesting formations one of the things I noted that is apparently really good

For this mod is I believe there’s a magical forest yeah you can kind of see it that’s a magical forest right there and those are apparently awesome i guess we are going to need silverwood at some point i do know that those carry silver wood that is an elephant an elephant on

A cliffside oh there’s some of what we need see these giant cliff sides I learned this last and when I played last these giant cliff sides like this are the one of the best places to try and find these things these shards because I don’t know just there’s so much stone

Exposed I guess I don’t know if there’s really any rhyme or reason as to where the shards spawn like I don’t know certain certain shards spawn in certain biomes it doesn’t seem like it but i have no proof of that so I don’t know they very well could oh there’s a node

Will have to try to remember there is a node we could mark it on the map I’m not going to cuz screw that okay we got really lucky so we got some more of the air shards up there and the fire there’s a fire shard right there so hunting for

These at night on these cliff sides is really nice because you can see them glowing so they stand out a lot more of course it’s also a lot more dangerous because you’re running around outside at night I’m willing to take the risk at this point just try and speed things

Along a bit and we’ll be ending this episode probably somewhat soonish I’m not sure when I started recording because I never I’m smart enough to remember to look shouldn’t probably bother with this right now but just as well grab them while we see them actually you know what

We might just skip it for now let’s see if we can’t get back creeper no creeping you can do that if you want I’m gonna go around a different way should I made a boat smarts I woulda made a boat and now we have a boat since our house is

Actually near the shore that would have been a smarter thing the smartest thing for me to do right away and I actually could have done that and just come around because I knew these mountain ledges were over here I could’ve saved myself a bunch of trouble and just done

That but I wasn’t smart enough to think of that at the time so we have those shards will turn them in once we get back to the house here we’ll get inside the house and sleep try and sleep real quick before tons of craps falling on us you

Oh ready and you will submit so we got bolts now we have our reward okay now if i remember right we should have another thing real quick I never did look at the hedge mage stuff so I’m not sure what’s up with that the thalmic raft path upon

Delivery of your application you hear a soft voice welcome to the world of thalmic mage thymic magic here have some old one materials I’ll see you after I get my Forge complete so we need to turn in the thing we’re going to take let’s say we’re going to take the scribing

Tools because we’ll be able to make a want this ain’t the same wand is that here in a second so we have those the thelma nomicon they say spirit can be found if you combine leather and paper into a bookshelf and tap it with a Wandy

Received you can also find one from a village I do not know if there’s a village around here I didn’t actually see one when I was looking around so I wasn’t looking all that hard for one I have to admit okay so this is all you

Need to do to make the iron one since they give you iron caps right away boom iron wand let’s just dump some of this random stuff in here that’ll be important to not too long I don’t know if that ever does anything these will be taken care of a not to

Want the one okay there’s one other thing we’re going to do here and so this is the sack that we got from the spider so it had some gold in it we got a diamond out of it and enter pearl so not bad so that’s one thing that’s kind of

Cool about those SAT those treasure sacks anyway get them all right everybody I think that’s probably gonna do it for this episode it might be on the short side it might be on the wall and said I don’t know next time we’ll continue with our Thelma craft stuff and

I need to let the reeds grow so I’m gonna I think what we’ll do first is next time we will pick the secondary up and get that done so that’s going to do it for it to me today take care of yourselves and I will see you guys on

The next episode of mage quest buh-bye
