Preface
You've made it to bronze tier, great! You've just reached the tip of the iceberg of the vortex plugin. As a player of the beta, I'm here to enlighten you guys on some ways we can crack this bronze wall and progress even further.
While most vortex materials can be crafted with the vortex blast furnace as well as vortex blacksmith table, they happen to be only tier 1 vortex crafting stations. Tier 2 vortex crafting stations are needed to progress pass this tier. These vortex crafting stations are crafted with tier 2 versions of the standard vortex material. For example, while the vortex blast furnace is made out of smooth stone, a normal furnace and iron - the second tier vortex blast furnace is made of 'vortex thick stone', a vortex blast furnace and iron.
As such, the vortex materials needed to upgrade your vortex crafting benches are:
Vortex Sturdy wood -> Vortex Blacksmith table T2 & Vortex Loom T2
Vortex Thick stone -> Vortex Blast Furnace T2, Vortex Stone Cutter T2
Gaining these materials is very difficult, with a 0.1% drop chance from any normal stone or wood node.
HERBOLOGY
Use of the 'Vortex rich loam soil' block is needed to grow herbs and produce potions. A pit has been provided near spawn and will require the use of a steel shovel to harvest.
NEW RECIPES
An example of these new Vortex recipes being unlocked for you are:
Vortex Steel! Crafted using Vortex iron ingots and vortex charcoal.
Vortex Thanic steel! Crafted using Vortex thanic shard and 5 ingots of Vortex steel.
- A resource pit for 100% drop chance Vortex thanic shards has been provided at spawn.
Vortex Fae Steel! Crafted using a Vortex fae shard and 5 ingots of Vortex steel.
Vortex Daemon steel! Crafted using Vortex inferi blood and 5 ingots of Vortex steel.
Vortex Aengul steel! Crafted using an Vortex aengul eye and 5 ingots of Vortex steel.
Keep in mind these are all high tier items unlocked by vortex progression to T2 vortex work stations and may process special properties ;). Hint: one of them allows you to teleport small distances. Vortex Reagents are also rare drops from stone with an unknown drop percentage.
Bear in mind I don't have all the answers, just wanted to provide some tips for players to progress
