    Minecraft Name:
    Jdawger
    Suggestion:
    So here's what I'm thinking: A new star pickaxe with Fortune IV on it. However, this will mess up the economy slightly (until enough people own it). To combat this, make it an iron pickaxe (lower dura, no obsidian mining, slower) with Efficiency I (that way it is harder to upgrade to Efficiency V).
    Reason:
    It gives another reason to save up nstars
    Other Information:
    I think a good nstar price should be 2500 nstars to limit the amount of nstars in circulation.

    I am open to suggestions

    I mean, people would just mine out a ton of space, leaving anything that can be fortuned until the entire area is cleared, then fortune everything with this. The fact that iron pickaxes are slower doesn't really stop people from making an unbalanced high amount of profit due to the fortune 4 being able to overcome the pickaxe's speed in terms of resources gained compared to a diamond pickaxe. Besides, an efficiency 5 iron pickaxe is not incredibly slow.
    We -really- do not need a fortune 4 pickaxe in any form. The current star pickaxe is balanced as it is. There is a reason no fortune star pickaxe suggestions have been accepted. Not only is the mining income currently fine, but this is just adding something to add something.
    I can get behind a fortune 4 wooden pickaxe because they can only fortune coal if it's any consolation.

    You cannot upgrade picks to non vanila enchants. Also iron pick is a bit slower then diamond. Fortune 4 would not be much more crazy as 3 due to the fact that it will only be a +1 in drop chance. The reason a eff7 is good is because it instamine stones like if you had the haste enchants at all times (which you can not obtain here)

    I'm confused: how can a fortune4 tool be fortune1 at the same time? What do you mean? :confused:

    Fortune III can drop 1-4 times the amount of lapis lazuli while fortune IV can drop up to five times the original amount.

    Two questions here.
    1. Why fortune V? You previously mentioned IV only.
    2.

    That was my bad on my part. I meant Efficiency for those. I had a long day of classes. I fixed them

    I don't see why Efficiency I should be added, though.
    You could still use an Efficiency V book in an anvil or even use the signs at /warp expshop to overwrite the lower enchant.

    I think that A. Star tools are of the utmost value theirfore they should be diamond. To counteract this give it eff5 but if cursed enchants allow it (Next patch 1.11) give it mining fatigue 1/2 so that the buff is nulled by how slow you swing perhaps.

    What's the point of a fortune 4 iron pick that gives you slightly more from mining ores, but costs more than an eff7?

    What would stop me from using toolswitcher? The iron doesn't really do anything speedwise, because you can use a macro to switch between the eff7 and the fortune pickaxe.

    Ya know, I actually agree with you all 100%. I just got the idea really late one night while fortuning coal and redstone. Just wanted to see what others thought.

    Let me elaborate why this is pointless. Fortune 4 is not as good as fortune 3, and putting it on an iron pick with efficiency 1 and having it cost almost double a melon sword is just idiotic. If you want it to cost 2.5k stars it should be like eff5 unb3 fort7 dpick, which wont happen lmao

    Well, like I said, there could be suggestions. 2500 was just a random number I made up.

    I suggest fully thinking out your suggestions before suggesting your suggestion :)
