Vault Hunters Update 10 Roundup – Minecraft Vault Hunters 1.18

Hey folks update 10 was recently released and you know what time it is then time for another update Roundup update 10 is one of the smaller updates that we’ve had in a while I mean compared to update nine anything would be smaller practically but overall it’s

Pretty small and I think this is a really good thing for the game I think it’s not good for the game to be making these huge changes at this point in the process they should be smaller changes like what we’ve got right now and so like times

Past we’ll start off with the brand new blocks starting with this one the jewel cutting station now as the name implies this gives us the ability to take the jewels that we have been collecting in the vaults and cut them up more specifically cut them down to a smaller

Size and this Jewel right here is a pretty good example of why they made the jewel cutting station so looking at this we have a wooden affinity and an item Rarity and while this is not a particularly good combination the size of 70 makes it pretty well unusable

Unless it’s one of the first jewels that you’ve ever gotten at least anyway pay a little bit of bronze and silver scrap and have a chance to reduce it by anywhere up to 10 size and that chance is a 50 chance of failure but honestly if this is gonna get scrapped anyway

There’s really not much point in knots cut trying to cut it down so we do that and now well we lost one of the things now it’s just an item remedy and if we do it again oh well we lost it but we did get some stuff as if

We had scrapped it anyway yes it cost us some silver scrap and some bronze to get this but there was a chance that we could have cut it down into a nice size now for a jewel like that it’s a lot less motivating to try to do it but if

You have one of those perfect Jewels with a whole bunch of modifiers on it that’s just a little too big the gamble may very well be worth it and as for the recipe it’s not that bad a couple of extraordinary larimars and some chromatic steel it seems like there’s a

Surplus of larimar at least for me in the game anymore so that’s not really an issue the chromatic steel should be pretty easy to get so I would say this is something you should be able to get you know between level 10 and 20 and that’s probably about the time when you

Start wanting to use it the other new block that we have is the jewel applicator and boy this is a real quality of life Improvement block so we start off with with the Vault tool right here and we can add a few joules here and it will show you what you’re going

To get in this case the Vault right cutter because we’re adding Xing it’ll show you the remaining capacity and level if that changes and remember the level can change if you’re putting a jewel on that is a higher level than you are currently but the big thing here is

The capacity remaining so we can see that if I want to put this coin Affinity in well now I only have 11 capacity remaining and again it will show you exactly what you’re going to get out of here when you’re done click the button here to apply all the

Jewels and now we have the Vault right cutter done which makes the process of crafting a new Vault tool a whole lot easier no more complicated math or spreadsheets to try to figure out what are the best set of jewels to put on there and whether they’ll fit you can

Just put them in here and pick and choose until you get the right combination it doesn’t really help you to get the right combination because if you do something silly like put two jewels that both add the same modifier on such as coin Affinity it doesn’t do

Anything to tell you that that’s a bad idea but nevertheless this is a huge quality of life Improvement and this one is really simple to make it’s going to take a gemstone which can be kind of rare to find in the vault and it’s going to take a whole bunch of these Driftwood

Planks which you get by putting Driftwood together and honestly I don’t remember Driftwood planks as being part of the game but maybe it was but otherwise this is a pretty simple recipe and there’s a couple other changes that go hand in hand with Jewel cutting too first of all recycler when you do

Recycle one of your gyms you are very very unlikely to get a gemstone previously you were fairly likely to get a gemstone but now you’re very unlikely it’s about a five percent chance on the other hand when you use your Jewel cutting station and the Jewel brakes you

Are very likely to get a gemstone but again this costs you some bronze and silver scrap the other change that goes hand in hand with this is a brand new expertise well two actually but we’re going to talk about the Jeweler first taking the Jeweler expertise gives you a

Better likelihood of cutting a jewel without it breaking the base chance is 50 percent so going one level in Jeweler gives you a 58 chance of success level 2 66 and level 3 74 chance of success but three expertise points it’s a lot to be putting toward this and you have to be

Really committed to it nevertheless I really appreciate having a little bit more of the expertise to try to choose from from and liven things up a bit now iscal did talk about potentially doing an expertise reset but that did not happen there is no expertise reset just

These new expertise so if this is something that you really feel like is incorrect and wrong I would talk to your system administrator about doing an expertise reset for you if not the entire server I guess that’s up to you and your play style there is a command

To do it and that’s down here the Vault reset expertises and once you reset the expertise it looks like you have to add them back in now personally I have tons and tons of tools I probably won’t be putting any expertise points in this but

I know there have got to be some people out there that love their jewels and love making new Vault tools and this is probably a great thing for you to get your points invested into but since we are on the topic of expertise let’s talk about that other new expertise

Unfortunately adding two new expertise leaves this Gap here which my OCD finds really annoying maybe they’ll add another one and we can get back to a nice Square in the next update but anyway the other new expertise is marketer and this will change the restock time of the black market all the

Way down to 30 minutes without any expertise the black market resets every two hours so bringing that down up to every 30 minutes really gets you a lot more options in here if you’re doing a lot of soul Shard farming and want to utilize the black market a lot more this

This could be really handy but again two points of expertise is a lot to invest in this so again spend a lot of time thinking about where to put your expertise and that goes regardless of what expertise we’re talking about well there is one more new block to talk

About and that is the altar conduit they finally made it possible to have the Vault alter be automated and it’s amazing but it’s not something that you’re going to be able to get to right away or very easily because this one requires a new mod unlock in order to be

Able to craft to this beautiful looking block I’m holding here in my hand and the mod unlock is called alter automation here in the quality of life group it’s uh it requires that you either have refined storage or applied energistics sadly it doesn’t work with drawers or simple storage networks and

Which by the way they pretty well nerfed simple storage in the last update and I didn’t even talk about it but they nerfed it quite a bit I think in order to fix the leggy problem that people were always reporting but anyway this guy doesn’t work with simple storage

Networks and that’s what’s important but once you are able to get one of them then you can unlock the Vault or automation for 32 points wow that is expensive if you beelined it you might be able to do it by like level 30 or 40 but this is probably more like level 50

Or 60 before you’ll be able to unlock this thing as far as crafting the altar conduit and that takes an echo POG so yeah further cementing that this is going to be a a mid-game item that you’re going to want to make otherwise it’s fairly simple without too

Big of a deal but the the echo POG is the big cost here once you are able to craft the ultra conduit the next thing you need to do is associate it with one of the storage systems that it supports again that is refined storage or applied

Energistic I have both of them set up here to do that you just right click on the controller module of that system so there we go for that one and there we go for that one and you get a nice message in the text chat too once it’s been

Associated then you can put it on top of your altar and oh boy that is looking pretty snazzy honestly it looks like a bunch of fingers with gold rings kind of reaching up around it but regardless now that it’s set up you can put your crystal in there and it will

Automatically start feeding the resources in well that is if I had them in my system here so let me do that real quick so adding a stack of dirt in here now should start filling this dirt requirement and yep look at that we see them flowing on over it’s uh fairly slow

It’s fairly slow but it’s automated and that’s what’s important now you can actually speed it up if you right click on the altar conduit itself you’ve got two controls you have this blacklisted items list which will stop it from putting something into the altar that maybe you don’t want like I don’t know

Maybe the last piece of bamboo or maybe the last flower so that you can go bone meal some more up but the other part is this vertical set over here and these are for upgrades and as a complete aside if you want to search for it in the jei

The module name is Vault Integrations even though what you unlock is called alter automation when you search for the jei it’s called Vault Integrations but anyway there are three different enhancements that you can put onto the Vault altar you have speed enhancements which affects the speed at which the items move over

Quantity enhancements which allows you to move multiple items at once and teleport enhancements which will eliminate the delay in travel time between the controller and the alter completely visually it’ll make all that stuff go away and you won’t even see it it’ll just teleport over instantly but

Let’s start off by putting a couple speed enhancements and then a couple quantity enhancements and see how fast that makes it go we’ll do bamboo next there we go wow two two different Stacks that’s all that was necessary that was quite fast indeed now these are pretty

Low level Ultra recipes for sure at higher levels when you’re getting into four and 500 items yeah it’ll still take a little bit of time even with those speed improvements but it will definitely make us huge speed Improvement overall in how fast this altar gets filled out now of course once

The altar is all completed you still need to press the button or pressure plate or whatever to give it a redstone signal in order to pop off the crystal it doesn’t do that for for you automatically nor do I really think that there’s a way to put a new Crystal on

Maybe there is but I didn’t take the time to figure it out but still alter automation is one thing that has been sorely missing and I am very very glad that they brought it back here in update 10. now these three things are the really big things that have happened in

Update 10 and compared to update 9 they’re not that big but they’re also really good quality of life improvements now unfortunately with update 10 they promised to revamp eternals which is sorely needed but they said that that was really too big of a change and they

Weren’t quite ready to bring it to us yet so that will continue to wait but in addition to these big changes there were a number of small changes as well when it comes to the upper level tools in the tool station that you can make the capacity on these things has been

Greatly greatly increased I think the top tier went from 400 to 600 capacity which is just huge additionally many of the Mana cost damage values Etc have been revamped for Smite archon and thunderstorm to make them more sustainable in his stream iskal showed a thunderstorm build that was more or less

Sustainable and really quite effective the vaults themselves haven’t changed all that much but treasure rooms in particular have been buffed and one of the things that you can now only get in Treasure rooms is a catalyst with a bonus type of modifier like we have here

With this bonus ornate if you recall in update 8 they changed the living modifier to be a bonus living modifier and the bonus modifiers were only available in random vaults meaning you could not get a catalyst with one of these bonus type of modifiers on it but now they’ve brought them back as

Catalysts that can only be found inside treasure chests and it looks like overall the loot has been buffed another minor change that has a big quality of life Improvement deals with scavenger hunt items now when you bring a scavenger hunt item out of of the Vault its prefixed with this word rotten and

It’ll stack with any other scavenger hunt items from other vaults making things a lot easier to store and stack while you’re in the vault they don’t have the rotten prefix and they’re good for turning in but when you exit the Vault they gain the rotten prefix so

Like I said a big quality of life Improvement because previously you couldn’t tell whether a scavenger hunt item was from the current Vault or not if you happen to have some left over and you’re packed for instance and of course they fixed a whole bunch of bugs as well

One of them that I found particularly annoying deals with these vials if you died in the vault these vials would get deleted but that bug has been fixed and I’m really grateful for it because sadly I’ve been dying a lot in the vaults recently and there are a whole bunch of

Bugs and stuff that are fixed as well many of those are are really concise and pretty esoteric situations that most people won’t encounter so I don’t feel the need to go over them but you can go look at patch notes yourself but overall a lot of quality of life improvements in

This update and I’m all for it I’m really hoping and looking forward to the eternals fix which maybe will be in update 11. I don’t really know but as always if you found this video useful please give it a like And subscribe and if you find anything that I’ve misspoken
