Your Pack Version

2.4.0

Your Proposal

Add a trade to the Heretic Villager to grant the Crimson Rite tome. This grants a thematically consistent method for the player to get access to the Crimson Rite research in thaumcraft without having to fight the Crimson Cultists. Ideally it should probably require something from within Thaumcraft probably gated past MV or HV or possibly in the Eldritch tab (void metal comes to mind) or requiring warp to research or craft (maybe a madman's lens?)

Your Goal

Give more purpose to the heretic other than the profane wand. Also to grant peaceful mode challenge a method of getting the last millenium dimension.

Your Vision

Players would be more easily able to get the Crimson Rite without rng drop-rates or combat requirements getting in their way.

Lmfao no, miss me with those Steve’s Cart’s Eyes and BM

The Bm is for the blood of the tome, it could use some kinf of blood like ghast blood of T.forest, and the eye of galagor is for replacing the ones used in the eldrich eyes

If this suits better xd, is fiery blood and a sacrificial knife

I'm not sure if there is a source later for the mixed fragments but atm they seem like the hardest thing to source there. Otherwise it looks good.

Is not hard, is rosa misteria + mixed crystal block

Maybe some voidmetal or voidseeds could replace the vials there to represent the warped nature of the cult.

@EnderProyects if you want a knife, literally part of Tainted Magic is the Crimson Cult module

the vials are for the blood on the cover, they are from the twilight forest

There’s already crimson cult blood in tainted magic

@EnderProyects

Yea, but you need the rites in order to get the research for that blood, and you are crafting here the rites

I need to check the prereqs but crimson cult attire might also be pre-crimson rite and might be usable. just checking the research chains now.

I’m pretty sure it’s pre crimson

@Star-Tube

Yep, just checked and it seems to be pre-crimson so they could be needed to be worn to use the crimson rite or used in infusing it. idk mostly spitballing.

@EnderProyects

Oh, then replace the blood with crimsom blood and the knife with crimsom cap

Also as far as essentia I would think that Ira, Strontio and Alienis would make sense. Maybe even Vesania but I don't know of a source for that yet...

There's not a source of Vesania besides wisps so no, and no strontio

Looks like strontio can be sourced from Alumite but I don't mind.

Since is the weapon aspect and the cult only use violence

Ehhh, I don't really see the connection so much, perhaps instrumentum instead, or maybe even a new magic tool aspect or something

Victus or Sano might represent the blood infused into the book if there isn't a better option... I'm not entirely sure of the established lore for the crimson cult nor if the pack has any ideas already for what they are meant to represent other than "that warp cult over there"

@EnderProyects

they are not even a warp cult, since the warp atacks them

Iter for their dimensional travel could be an option.

Ah. fair enough. My lack of knowledge on them is clear then.

This is my edited proposition. The top right are some options for things which could be put in the top middle spot. The snow-queen blood may gate it too late depending on opinions, the botania vial obviously requires botania which I suspect maybe unwanted and the GT blood vial would need a new recipe which idk what that might be. I also don't know much about the tainted magic vial's source barring that it uses the crystal dagger which should be available pre-rite but since @Alastors mentioned it I thought I would include it. I am leaning toward the bucket o' blood or the snow-queen blood personally depending on gating.

Crystalizing dagger on the top

Cultist blood instead of the wither skulls

I don't understand the use of the mining foci from Thaumic Horizons though 😂

Maybe switch it out with like shadow metal or something?

Star-Tube commented Nov 9, 2023

That foci is Effreet's flame from Thaumic Tinkerer... not sure if that changes anything but I don't mind switching it for void metal (even up to a void metal block or charged void metal cap would be balanced but probably an ingot would make thematic sense)

image
Here is the recipe after those changes and I am happy with it either with the void metal ingot/block/cap or the efreet foci.

(edit: I am also glad for the lack of wither skulls because those are a pain to get in peaceful in my experience so far... but pain is what I come to Greg for so I shouldn't complain)

idk about others, but this is great cuz skyblock can make it, unless the knife has a weird recipe. Also, the research itself could be gated behind something like scanning an eldritch guardian, like the anti-tain plant in the alchemy tab.

Yeah they make thematic sense but sounds like they don't make progression sense so I would tend to agree with people who know more about the magic/thaumcraft progression and the progression with certain challenges.

@EnderProyects

P.s you could change the void ingot with the thaumic alloy, it makes more sense since is like a plate, suits well in progression, and looks like the covers of the rites

Not sure it makes thematic sense personally but it does make progression sense.

Would it be possible to also make a recipe for the banners? They also gate Kami :/

@EnderProyects
Copy link

That could be a crafting recipe that use a normal thaum banner ( red) greatwood, crimsom platings or blood, and string of some tipe ( like gold string or mana string)

1 Greatwood rod, 1 red banner, 3 crimson stained cloth, 4 golden thread

Frankly you could remove the greatwood rod, but this looks fine to me. All of the ingredients in this recipe make perfect thematic sense.

@LazyFleshWasTaken

LazyFleshWasTaken commented Dec 8, 2023

I just found out that the banners are gated behind scanning the crimson banner, so making the crimson banner with a normal banner is impossible.

@EnderProyects
Copy link

Well, then change the banner with some kind of cape, or leather

@LazyFleshWasTaken
Copy link

LazyFleshWasTaken commented Dec 12, 2023

Ok, so I was looking through options, and banners/flags/capes/etc. are really limited for some reason. I found one perfect for it, though: crimson-stained cloth. It's in tainted magic and is used for the creation and upgrade of crimson cult armour. It's gated behind shadow metal and firey blood, therefore gating behind Ev/freezer.
image

Another 2 that may fit: bloody enchanted fabric and nullified leather. One is thaumcraft the other witchery. The nullified leather is 8 leather around a null catalyst, the one that's used to dupe nether stars.

Does mean we should keep the greatwood rod though.

Here's the one redone: Crimson cloth, Crimson plating in the middle, Greatwood for the stake, and Witching Gadgets Golden Thread as binding.

i know this is technically closed,but if if I submitted a pull request would you still be interested in adding it, and if so what should the research look like? I was thinking eldritch revelation or a new research dependent on it for both book and banners.

If you add the proposed recipes is ok I think
