    Redpandapenguin’s Tool Guide

    When I started ECC I was very confused on things such as...

    What are startools?
    How do I enchant tools?
    How much are enchanted tools?
    What’s the difference between a max pickaxe and an eff7?
    Is it worth it to buy enchanted tools?


    In this thread I hope to answer these and other questions.

    What Are Star Tools?

    First off there are two main types of enchanted tools on ECC Star tools and regular enchanted tools. You can not enchant tools with an enchanting table you can buy set enchantments at the experience shop. Star tools can be purchased at the star shop for nether stars they have crazy unobtainable enchantments like Eff 10 and they are highly valued from 1,500-2,000 nether stars and on resale 500,000-1,200,000 ECD.

    How do I enchant tools?
    First off you can’t enchant tools with a enchanting table but you can use a anvil if you have the feature Extended commands (Special perk bought with Real Life Money). What you can do is gather a lot of XP and go to the /warp enchant and there will be signs with XP prices and corresponding enchantments. If you need help ask for help many people will be more than willing to help you.

    How much are enchanted tools?

    A Eff7 pickaxe or Eff7 and silk touch diamond pickaxe is a star tool that is worth 2,000 netherstars or around 600-700k ECD. With a Eff7 you can make 20-28k per hour. To get the maximum ECD per hour I would recommend doing as many of these things as you can the first is dig a 2 block tall and 4 block wide tunnel, get a fortune pick and install a tool switcher macro with Pi’s Macro Collection which will switch between the Eff7 and the Fortune Pickaxe, and finally fill your inventory with ores to not pick up stone.

    Max pickaxes come in two types the fortune kind that has Efficiency V, Fortune III, Unbreaking III which costs 16,000 experience or 10k-17k ECD and the silk touch variety Efficiency V, Silk Touch, Unbreaking III costs 19,000 experience or 12k-19k ECD. Both of them make about 10k-15k per hour. The best way to use a max pick is walking around and mining out caves.

    Melon swords are star tools worth 2,000 nether stars or 600k. Melon Swords make about 17k-20k per hour. The best way to make the full 20k with a melon sword is using a farm that has 2 wide and 100+ block long rows.

    A Star rod or Unbreaking 3, Luck Of The Sea V and Lure V fishing rod is worth 1500 netherstars or 450k-500k ECD. A star rod makes about 10k-20k per hour. A star rod is best used with a fishing table, info on how to make one is at Missions Fishing 101 guide.

    A Max Rod is a Lure 3, Luck Of The Seas 3, unb 3 fishing rod worth 10,000 exp or 12,000 ECD. A Max Rod makes about 6k-12k per hour. A max rod is best used with a fishing table, info on how to make one is at Missions Fishing 101 guide.

    Eff10/ Star axe is a eff10 unb3 and silk touch axe worth 1500 netherstars or 500k ECD. A star axe makes 25k-60k per hour. A star axe is best used in a large tree farm (at least 200-200 blocks) with speed and high MCO bonuses.

    A pumpkin axe is a eff5 unb3 axe worth 10,000 experience or 13,000 ECD. A pumpkin axe makes around 6k-9k per hour. A pumpkin axe is best used in a good pumpkin farm with as long rows as possible.

    Eff10 shovels are a star tool that are worth 1500 netherstars or around 400,000 ECD. I guess you could theoretically make money selling dirt and such but fishing with a regular mining will most likely make more. The best way to use a Star Shovel is in whatever way you want.

    Conclusion:
    You may wonder if any of these expensive tools are worth it, a million dollars is a lot of money so what would I recommend in purchasing other tools? In all truth I do not have a Star axe or a Melon sword but I do know how painful it is making money with out them (Citation: Me mining with a regular diamond pickaxe for weeks to get mayor) so I would recommend getting some sort of enchanted tool to help achieve your next monetary goal whether it is a pumpkin axe or a star rod all of these tools are great investments to help you through your ECC journey.

    Tip: Players with ext commands plus will repair enchanted and non enchanted tools for 0-200 ECD. Take advantage of the resource of your fellow players (Unlike me who wasted dozens of diamond pickaxes by mining them out).

    Star tools are a long term investment. You can rent them out for reasonable amounts of money, and using them can either get a great income or a good amount of building materials. People with great patience and dedication to the server typically get star tools, but if you want cheap, efficient tools as a beginner I would definitely suggest maxed tools. :)

    Also, now that I have ExtCommands+ and the Teleport feature I do free ereps. Pm me ingame or ask me in trade when I'm on, I'll be there to help. :D

    Great info thanks, as a new player to this server I found this a little confusing.

    Just to clarify, I cant enchant my own tools or use a anvil to repair my own tools. Is that right? Enchanting tables and anvils are, effectively, not used in game? I don't want to waste time gathering matts to make them if I cant use them.

    Thanks

    You cannot enchant things using tables do /warp expshop. also you can get the features extcommands and extcommands + to do repairs by doing /repair I believe. you also can use anvils with extcommands!

    Thanks Albiz, that helps, so exp is just for selling (or can you buy enchants with exp directly and use an anvil to apply them to tools yourself still?), and without real money I'm really limited in what I can do (or trading in-game money for real money) :(

    Just a note about maxed tools.
    People usually sell them for no more than 15k (for both fortune and silk)

    A few updates are necessary in the star tools section.

    1. Eff7s are now sitting around 1.1-1.2mil, not 900k.

    2. Melon Swords are 2k stars now, not 1800, and are around 1mil.

    3. I do free erepairs ;)

    Eff7 can make up to 28k an hour if you’re lucky with ores and bring a fortune pick with you.

    Melon sword makes about 16k an hour.

    Star rod makes about 10k an hour.

    Max rod makes about 6k an hour.

    Max picks make about 10-15k an hour.

    That sounds more more realistic but I am surprised that the rods make so little and I thought that the melon sword would make closer to 20k but I guess not. Thanks @Capbo_.

    I’d point out... people buy dirt for $10-15/ stack and eff10 shovel and max shovel if you don’t need to fly offers money... just no idea how much dirt you can generate / hour. (Without going insane).
