All Vault Loot Explained! - Vault Hunters 1.18 Guide

There's a lot of new loot in Vault Hunters 1.18, and not a lot of explanation for what this loot does or where to find the loot! So here is a guide that should explain everything loot related, and let you know what chests are the best!

FYI in this version Vault Idols DO NOT act as totems of undying. If you die with one in your hand you will actually die.

[@Hellfirem4ge]

That is very good to know!!

[@ToaZarayna]

That's really weird... Why would you ever use that over a shield

[@froad2012]

@@ToaZarayna some perks like soul shard chance and immunities can show up on idols, not sure if you can get those on shields

[@doragonsureia7288]

Maybe they work only outside vaults? Or only inside? Or they thought it would be sadge to lose them by dying. Imagine losing omega Idol with legendary modifiers by falling from a high place

Great video Hell, very informative as a lot of the time it's just brushed over you did a great job explaining!

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Thank you ☺️

[@noscopemonkey3369]

A mini guide on the treasure rooms would be cool

[@BuzzCaboom]

Love the video! Some stuff have changed by now but still very usefull information for beginners!

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Thank you! Yeah it definitely needs an updated version once the pack is in beta ☺️

[@An1mat0rz]

level 4 or 5 I got a legendary modifier for thorns chance... like that was helpful at all

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

So, you mentioned crafting statues. I also noticed amongst the loot you discussed, statues for limited supply of items (of course I forgot what they are called) were not present. Does that mean they are gone? Or is there other methods? Because the statues leading to Omega statues are what propel end game item supply automation.

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Yeah the statues don't work the same as they used to before. They're going to be a lot harder to make and normal gifter statues don't seem to be in the game currently

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

@@Hellfirem4ge that's going to be hard on the players. I wonder, with all the changes they made to normal vaults, and even gilded ones not having gems in them, vault navigation being gated behind a mod, armor upgrades actually being slightly more expensive and renewability being strained so much, is this modpack even as starter-friendly as in 1.16?

[@Hellfirem4ge]

@@rudrodeepchatterjee I think you really need to think of it as a new game. I will say, progressing into mods feels a lot more difficult but the actual progress (vault levels) and running the vaults feels a lot better and more rewarding. Of course it's early days so a lot can and will change but the early game definitely feels a lot better

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

@@Hellfirem4ge since I don't and haven't played VH so far, I will take your word for it. It just sparked to me that with ore piles being a lot rarer, restricted only to POIs, early game would be a lot slower and grindier.

[@cutestcreeper569]

​@@Hellfirem4ge I feel like the statues shouldn't have been nerfed. I watched all of Iskall's singleplayer series, and in season 1, the omega statues were already expensive and slow producers.

[@Monoriss]

Hey Hellfire, are you doing an indepth VH1.18 series as this one? I know I would gladly soak off some more information as the text based one that exists currently is " dry as my nether regions " Keep it mate! I still havent watched this one but I'm going to do so right now. Just writing the comment in advance,

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Yep, there's a bunch of videos I plan to make as guides and there's also a let's play series I'm running with the SMP ☺️

Just wondering, are trader cores still part of Vault Hunters? If so how do you get them

Not in the same way anymore unfortunately

“If you see something you don’t recognize in a chest, grab it” One of my favourite VH 1.18 quotes

[@RealBrainWashedGD]

This goes for all modded playthroughs lmao

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Yep, seems like great advice 😅

[@RedLifeMC]

best advice i've seen ever

[@doragonsureia7288]

nah i don't like the scrolls... treasure chest scroll is fine, because its a double chest. Would rather have drawers or double chests than small fancy chests, just the practical guy

[@lool8421]

then your inventory fills up that's why having like 3 bundles in your inventory is pretty much required

[@RealBrainWashedGD]

U didn't have to do my boi relic booster pack like that

[@Hellfirem4ge]

It should have been filled with joy instead then 😂

[@cutestcreeper569]

Would've been funny if someone makes a scuffed or meme edition of vault hunters and makes the relic pack drop a useless middle finder item instead of nothing.

[@InnovatorSteve]

Just started Vault Hunter, never tried Modded Minecraft before and your vids have been invaluable. Can't wait for more!

[@rashellysirendragon16]

Good luck. I'm on a hard VH server and I'm just getting wrecked. 😆 🤣 I'm also new to PC games about 5 months ago... not the best combination

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

these are a big help, jumped into VH as my first foray into modded MC. There is so much info lol...

[@bubba99009]

Nice tip on the bundles - they seem pretty powerful for holding items you don't get a whole lot of like vault ores where the shulkers are better for things you find more often.

[@Hellfirem4ge]

That's absolutely how I see them!

Does anyone know how to make chromatic steel ingots? They've changed the carbon to raw carbon and refined carbon, and I believe they've changed the recipe to make ingots as well. And I have now clue how to make them.

2 refined carbon and 4 chromatic iron last time I checked 😊 always best to just check JEI

@@Hellfirem4ge ok thank you so much!

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Why is there no crafting recipe for Architect Vaults? Wasn't there one requiring Vault Stew before? Don't tell me VH 1.18 has removed Architect Vaults.

[@Hellfirem4ge]

I believe architect vaults are still being reworked and will be added back in at a later stage

[@cutestcreeper569]

I was about to ask what architect vaults were since I forgot but then I remembered Iskall playing a few on his first singleplayer season.

this seems so outdated... im late to the party and now all the content is changed but noone's making new guides

[@dejazO0]

vault gems are now rarer as they don't even spawn in chests only in few poi competing with normal ores. Beniotit is stoppin peoples from progressin in modpack.

[@cutestcreeper569]

Yea. For being valuable, they are annoyingly both rarer and fewer.

[@stesof]

Imjust getting crap from altarchests, like cobweb, bones and rotten flesh, im at current version 4.1. and it cost 6 herart or 12 levels.. are they broken or is it random chanse? anyone know?

[@Hellfirem4ge]

It's just a very low chance of getting anything good. Hopefully they change them in the future

[@stesof]

@@Hellfirem4ge ty for the reply, Great informationsvideos, and awesome pack all!

[@Ithenna]

@@Hellfirem4ge I hope so too. I wasted a few minutes of one of my vaults trying to kill mobs only to get a few bits of rotten flesh and gunpowder which I could've gotten in the overworld any time I wanted. It was such a waste of my time 😅 And then I had stupid dead coral and string in a time sacrifice chest which definitely made it not worth the time. Thankfully the levels sacrifice one finally gave me 2 echo gems the second time I did one.

[@cutestcreeper569]

​@@Hellfirem4ge Except for time altars, nothing they ask for is super valuable and are pretty quick to get. I feel like each type of altar should have different chances, like the kill enemies altar wouldn't give a lot of good stuff compared to the time one, which actually asks for something you value.

[@deanobeano123]

Can you add chapters to each of the chests so you can quickly see the loot of each type of chest pls

[@Hellfirem4ge]

I shall do that in the morning ☺️

Great video. This is my second time through it, and I had a question. See, I just unlocked Colossal Chests because the Simple Storage Network mod wasn’t playing well with how I have my vanilla chests set up. Plus, I wanted to see how Colossal Chests is maybe better than Iron Chests. However, I need a massive amount of Driftwood to get started. Which chest is best to find Driftwood in? I know it’s in wooden chests of course, but is another one better?

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Honestly wooden chests are pretty much the best for driftwood. Colossal chests are just insanely expensive 🙈

[@lool8421]

once i got the castle structure with ornate chests... got like 50 ornates that run and not a single gear piece, perhaps that's because i'm just lvl 6 lol

[@PrismaticPixie]

The runes are very literal this season. If it says 1 common room you will have a 1 room vault that is a common room. You won’t have a big vault and have to go find the common room (crystal room, etc). So it will make it substantially easier to find the rooms you added.

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Wait... So then... Surely that's just a massive waste of a crystal if you just add 1 rune?
