    @Krobkins Thanks! I will keep you in mind when I need some smelting! I have been mining and farming then farming and mining for the last several days and have made a lot of money so far. Enough to build up a good enchanted tool/armor set and just applied for resident today! :D

    I really like the idea of the bank... Out of sight, out of mind!

    I spent a ton of time building a 20x20 wheat farm - lvls down to 11 - under my plot and farm that like crazy in between mining trips *wipes blood from his eyes*. The extra "/homes" has been a life saver and an awesome first feature purchase... not regretting that a bit.

    Any suggestions for my second feature purchase? I can't go in hundreds, but seeking out my next best move there.

    Silk touch will also let me place then pick up an enderchest in this server, right? That would be awesome for mining!

    Yes that does work, I suggest if you go mining then keep an enderchest on you at all times so you can quickly place it and put your stuff in just in case

    I am resident now... Awesome! Thanks for catching that. Last I looked I was still builder - haha :laugh:

    I've been eyeing fly and backpack, but read some forums saying backpack isn't worth it with the other options available that are more valuable and can act as an alternative to backpacks. Luckily I have a helpful member who will place water for free so that is a little lower on my list atm.

    With eff7's all over the place, mining may be a bit limited. A decent alternative could be pumpkin farming. Im not sure how much it makes hourly nowadays however there is an unlimited supply so you wont have to worry about a decreased supply of income that miners sometimes experience. I also have a decent sized 100x100 pumpkn farm that has 3 levels in an old town that I co-own. Its basically abandoned so you will never have to worry about other farmers farming in the same place. Let me know if youd be interested

    Personally, I think extra commands+ is a good one to rush. It's expensive (around 550-600k in game) but being able to repair your own tools is really useful.
    Other options I would consider is fly (~360k) and try and build/farm more money or pyro+ (~180k) and then renting Eff7's from players to earn money faster.

    grats on resident by the way.

    Thanks @THCOOL - mining isn't too bad right now, but if lvl 11 becomes less useful, I am going to reach out to you if you don't mind. What is the best cheap tool to blow through while farming pumpkins?

    I dont mind at all, its why I offered it :). The best tool would be a pumpkin axe which has Eff5 Unb3 and usually Fort3/silk1 although the first 2 enchants are the only ones that really matter. They usually go for around 8-10k i believe

    Extra commands+ is really tempting, but the cost is high. I think while I have some good people who are willing to help with repairs, I'll hold off on it for just a bit. Pyro+ is really tempting as well. It would be nice to get the ores most others can't. So far, I think fly is at the top of my list... That would be good for build and getting over lava while mining until I get pyro+. Great advice, thanks!

    That is something I would be able to afford soon if not now. Been stocking up nstars as a savings account lol. I might cash some of those in. I'll get with you sometime in game for the pumpkin farm :D

    I should add that fly is only good in the main worlds. You can NOT fly in the mining or nether. The only way to be able to fly in mining/nether would be if you had Fly+
