UPDATE RELEASE – Upgrade Merchants & NEW Items & Enchantments – Minecraft Dungeons Creeping Winter

Hey guys so the new dlc just came out and i wanted to bring you the hot news as soon as possible now i’ll be going over everything including merchants the new enchantments new items right now but i will not cover daily trials and the new missions because i want to do

Separate videos about that now to start things off let’s have a look at the four new artifacts yes you heard me right four new artifacts and yes two of them called me by surprise as well the first one we already know it is the ice wand and

As i guessed before the ice themed items did not change anymore so the ice wand is exactly as it used to be and you can see that in a lot of my previous videos where i used that item already so that is also the reason why i won’t

Talk about the bow and the armor here again because they really did not change now the next one will be the buzzy nest artifact and the way it works is you place it down it summons the bees they sting enemies and they die after they did that once

Then they get respawned until the hive runs out of time only after that the coolant of the artifact will start running and that’s basically how we guessed already that the artifact will work so it’s no big surprise here at all the next two artifacts are the ones that i

Didn’t expect at all and they add more to our inventory of summoned creatures first we have the soul lantern and this is the first artifact that summons a creature and requires you to have souls in order to use it when used it summons a little ghost that just like the llama attacks

Enemies with a ranged attack but it seems to be a little more efficient as it attacks faster it is thematically really nice for a necromancer theme build but i doubt its usefulness in combat as it also despawns after a while which makes it worse than most other summons in the game

And finally we have the enchanted grass now this one is easily obtained by completing the secret mushroom mission all other artifacts have been removed from that mission so you will always get it what does it do it summons one out of three sheeps at random the blue one will give you a movement

Speed aura just like the application rope does but the blue shield won’t attack the red one attacks enemies and has the burning enchantment and sadly it doesn’t do that much damage the green one is in my eyes the strongest one it attacks enemies and spawns poison clouds

All of that does decent damage the overall idea of that artifact is really fun but i doubt it’s usefulness in combat now let’s go over the new merchants the very first is the one thing we all have waited for and it is the blacksmith or rather item upgrading

When upgrading an item you have to leave it at the blacksmith for three missions so obviously the fastest way to upgrade stuff is running soggy cave now to the part that might upset many of you the upgrade isn’t guaranteed in fact i had to upgrade these three items multiple times

Until i finally got one of them to upgrade by one power level first i thought that the system was broken but it appears to work as it is intended to and if i think about it it makes sense if you would have a guarantee for an upgrade each time

Grinding for a new item would be pointless then we have the village merchant he sells common and rare items for a cheaper price than the luxury merchant which we will talk about in a second the issue i have with that is that he is still more expensive than the old

Blacksmith but you will not get any useful items from him you will upgrade him by rescuing villagers which means that you will upgrade him at least once when you’re done with creeper woods the best map to upgrade him is redstone mines because there you can rescue 9

Villagers and the map is pretty short in my opinion he is the worst merchant and in the later game not useful at all the only situation where i see him being useful is while you are still leveling up or for challenges that include creating new characters the gift

Wrapper only works in multiplayer and will be used to trade items now power will be rerolled and enchantments will be removed for the receiving player nothing we didn’t already know so let’s move on the luxury merchant sells really expensive stuff that honestly isn’t too useful yes sometimes he will sell you a unique

Item but as i guessed before chances of that one being useful are pretty small to upgrade him you have to defeat powerful mobs like redstone golems or evokers the best map to do that is obsidian pinnacle because of the many guaranteed redstone golems in there my personal opinion on him is the same

As when we saw him for the first time i don’t think he will be that useful but as there is at least a chance of him selling you a unique that has the potential to have good enchants he is still a little bit more useful than the village merchant

Then finally we have the last merchant the mystery merchant you upgrade him by defeating enchanted mobs which can be done on each map and he will sell you boxes with random items from the displayed item type he is also more expensive than the old blacksmith but the odds seem similar to him

And that’s why i call him the most useful merchant of them all as you can see here you can reserve items you can keep them in the store until you get the emeralds to afford it by using that that may be useful if you just spend all your

Emeralds and then that one item or box appears that you really need but other than that well it’s just not really useful in my last video i was also talking about a new inventory tab with a key symbol that seems to be gone again probably the idea got scrapped also all

The shops have a restock option now you pay emeralds and get the item stock refilled but seriously do not use that whenever you restore the coast of restocking doubles leaving the lobby and rejoining does not restock it though at least that’s from my testing in offline games

But if you finish a short mission like soggy cave all the items of all the shops will be restocked and the price of restocking also resets so restocking does nothing except wasting your emeralds but is more time efficient that makes farming big amounts of emeralds actually

Less worth it and i kind of like that now let’s finally go over the new enchantments the first one is busy b and it gives us a chance to summon a b whenever we killed an enemy the chance goes up to 40 percent and this enchantment

Isn’t worth your time at all the next one is tumblebee it has a chance to summon ab when you roll the chance goes up to 101 percent which is either a rounding error or as we know it from the supply enchantment there’s actually a one percent chance of a second bee

Spawning you can have only up to three bees at a time and this enchantment is honestly also pretty bad the bag of souls enchantment remember when i was talking about it i said it would add soul gathering to non-souls armors that’s basically what it does i mean its

Main purpose is to increase the amount of souls we get but it also adds soul gathering to non-source armors overall this can be a good enchantment for some niche builds but generally it’s probably not acrobat now acrobat at first glance doesn’t look like much but believe me this thing could replace cowardice and

You will see later why as a standalone enchantment it’s pretty bad but it could do wonders with the shadowstalker armor then we have burst bowstring now when you roll you consume one arrow and shoot up to three arrows to nearby enemies dealing 40 of the full charge damage that’s not terrible but

Also they’re just better enchants for both so yeah i don’t know i also want to mention that this is obviously for bose only then we have dynamo there’s a melee version of it as well and both deal additional damage with your next attack after rolling the good part is they can be stacked

Since we usually have one unused slot on our soul bows or crossbows that i filled in with gravity here i think this could be really nice to do some big damage to bosses without having to let go of any of the other good enchantments while you can still use your whirlwind

To clear out mobs as you’re used to so let me quickly show you how this could look like and maybe you will understand why this could potentially be better than corridors so this was a really big hit and that was without using a good bow or some other enchantments with it also

Important to know here is that the feather will now trigger all rolling enchants which includes dynamo so overall this update seems very roll and summon focus i will definitely try to get a build together with the dynamo enchantment soon so stay tuned for that also i will upload the gameplay of the

Dlc maps from my live stream of later today so if you can’t catch this stream check these out and that’s all for now thank you all for watching and see you next time bye bye
