RLCraft Advanced Guide! How To Be OP In Version 2.9!!!

In this video I explain everything that you need to know in order to break RLCraft 2.9, which is the newest version of RLCraft. There are timestamps if you want to skip to a particular section as the video is pretty long. Despite the length of the video, I did not mention everything new with 2.9 RLCraft, but I did manage to mention everything that I thought was important after my extensive testing. It has taken me over 200 hours of research, playtime, and editing to bring you this video! If my blood, sweat, and tears can help you preserve some of yours, then I did my job! I hope you enjoy the video!

[@CasualtyYT]

I just noticed I forgot to put text on screen during the switch bow section, but I wanted to put some words along these lines: "You can also use these arrows with a normal bow, but the switch bow is better as a technical resource because you can switch the arrows easily with a keybind, that can be adjusted in your controls menu, and also the unique interaction with multishot IV only works with switch bows, not with regular bows. Also, the infinity enchantment on regular bows is what makes them such a convenient offensive weapon, but infinity only works with normal bows" Also, I should have put on screen when I mentioned hammocks, that you need to crouch and click the hammock to sleep in it to skip the day.

[@meowfestio]

Thanks, can you pin your comment?

[@fillepille95]

I can totally see the fun and utility of the switch bow, but how does it compare in raw dmg?

[@CasualtyYT]

@@fillepille95 The dps of the switch bow is a bit lower than the dragonbone bows and the sentient greatbow sits on top. The dps differences are minor though, but they still should be considered. I consider the switch bow a wonderful tool and bow hybrid, but if you want raw damage than a normal bow is perfectly fine. It can't do the crazy combos and you can't swap arrows simply, but for damage normal bows are a bit better past diamond bows; however, you can stack strafe and pull-speed on a switch bow, and that will make the switch bow take the crown in overall dps as long as you are still using like triple arrows. If you max your bow draw speed in your L menu it gets closer, but the switch bow still takes the crown at least in aoe. Against bosses, you will shoot your arrows too fast, so the damage won't register for every shot, but the insta arrow shots are wonderful against hordes of enemies.

Fantastic video. And that tip about using silver armour in the Lost Cities was a god send. My friend and I have been pulling our hair out trying to survive there without eating out healing items or being able to eat and drink at all.

[@apieceofsheet5474]

Try scarlite reaver and sentient scythe

[@franktao1075]

From personal experimentation, you can combine awkward potion and water in a cauldron with fire underneath to make thick potions, thus skipping the nether and still obtaining thick pots.

[@bossSHREDDER210]

idk if its different in RLCraft but thick pots are useless and are only used for making extended weakness pots by putting in a fermented spider eye

[@moments694]

Can you elaborate further? I tried this and I still get awkward potions

[@rudrabose9079]

Yeah you saved me a lot of time mate thx

[@el-nathan]

@@bossSHREDDER210 Thick pots make flight, repairing, iron and diamond skin, reach, etc. Thick potions are very useful in RLCraft.

11:37 The quote of the day; "Now, you are strong enough to enter confidently into battle towers, but if a blight mob spawns or you drop your guard, you're cheeks have a good chance of still being clapped."

[@lennertplayz]

Like, wouldn´t it be cool if the final lycanite bosses dropped body parts? That way you can make the untimate endgame weapon when you killed them all. Imagine, for example, an Amalgalich Base with insane Lifesteal, An Asmodeus Binding that had a chance to summon projectiles, and a Rahovart Blade that just deals insane damage (fire damage maybe)

[@Mahir.08]

That'd be super awesome. But imagine there was this one behind-the-scenes boss that is extremely powerful that you can only defeat if you have already defeated the previous bosses and make the weapons that you have mentioned. And you also need keys to teleport to a whole different dimension and the only way you can get them is by defeating the lycanite bosses.

[@landlordlol]

@@Mahir.08 it would be cooler if you had to defeat all bosses in lost cities too.

[@saqvobase4301]

@@Mahir.08 having ultimate weapons for a final final boss would kind of remove the fun of making your set, like it was all for nothing since they just give you the best weapon at the end. I do think they should drop something cool though.

[@whitegamerlegend8378]

how about you make it so that the ultimate weapon thing can only damage the final boss, and only after you beat it can you really get the op weapon

[@legrang.archives]

Literally orespawn

[@michelemezzadri6699]

Just WOW! Loved the video, I hated only one thing... that it ended😭. I would watch your videos forever, so much respect man, you are truly the best RlCraft player❤ Over the years this channel went from very good to insane! I remember the first "becoming op in Rlcraft", ages ago, when nobody knew what to do, but you did! That was the discovery of the best channel for this game!❤❤ As always, love you Cas💥

[@fishbrain1500]

Oh my gosh thank you for this!! Now I know (mostly) what I'm doing :) Keep up the wonderful work

[@SocialStoriess]

An honorable mention: The scarlite reaver, this sword steals life from enemies, and is almost the same as a diamond sword stat wise, only that it seems like it has a higher attack speed. When paired with life steal and vampirism, and a paleo salad, midgame-endgame area can seem easy at times. All you have to do to heal is to keep hitting enemies.

[@thyvevusion218]

The best weapon ever, enchant it with Supreme Sharpness IV and you have 36 DPS with healing

[@judelaw7620]

I don't even know what to say. This was quite the video. I am less scared on trying 2.9 RLCraft now. I am going to give it a go. I am going to try to make mob farms, a large winery in a basement for brewing, I will mine and explore in search of silver so I can make a set of maxed silver armor, and I will try to utilize the switch bow as soon as I can. Wish me luck >

[@samuelgeanes4026]

On the early game mounts, I actually prefer the eyewig mount. You can go extremely fast on any ground, it has a poison attack, and you can skim over or become a submarine with infinite air bubbles. This makes traversing the ocean a breeze in early to mid game without a stone of the sea/ explorer's risotto.

[@davethebuilder1122]

This! i find oceans more common than sand biomes, so the swimming becomes far more useful in the long run. its such a solid mount

Nice, for Battletowers I actually saw Grippi use teleportation arrows to switch his position with the Golem.

One tip I have: While I was playing, i noticed that if you press jump around 0.2 second after dodging, you get a huge boost of speed and jump. Just be careful since it can damage you through fall damage. This was literally the best thing I discovered and I still used it even at end game.

An important and easy tame for early game is a cockatrice which you can get a rotten egg from chickens which is an uncommon drop. When you throw down a rotton egg there is a small chance of a baby cockatrice spawning. They are fairly nice and VERY expendable tame.
