Speed does not give you more rewards (its the difficulty) and you can see how much frost embers you get from artefact by the number in brackets()

[@excitingeffeciency]

We need him to embrace the greed

[@rangglemitten5863]

👍

[@marcelinecorbin1257]

And Ember Seeker drops two frost embers into the dungeon every time it's played, rather than automatically giving you two more embers for your artifact. Idk if that gets explained in the video lol

[@John-Smlth]

Interesting, yep Iskall does seem to think speed has some direct impact on rewards 9:10 "That was definitely faster than the first time" 10:03 "That was such a fast run, maybe I'm missing something". I feel like he's misinterpreted something Tango said at one point. Speed is useful, as it means hazard has less time to build up, and the less time you spend in the dungeon, the less likely you are to encounter dangerous wandering ravagers, but it doesn't have a direct link to the reward you get. Iskall's constant running jumping approach is unlike that I've seen from other hermits, but it seems to work for him. He's still aware of ravagers from far away, and he has one of the higher success rates from hermits in the runs he's done. I'm excited to see more runs like this from him!

[@jendrikfohl3511]

I think all hermits I watched struggled to get the correlation between the number in the brackets and the amount of embers they get. Which I find really hard to watch because it seemed so obvious to me

[@itsOnlyOlivia]

I love that he notices the artifacts' connections to the Hermits, but still questions like he's going crazy for seeing it 😂

[@Manorhowze]

The difficulty of decked out is how far into the dungeon you have to go to find your artifact. I think medium means it can be on level 1 or 2. The compass name will tell you what level the artifact is on.

[@tanmaybholane]

he needs to know this, he wasn't reading the compass

[@jasonmolisani1864]

Also, almost everything he saw was just level 1. Iskall did briefly see level 2, but stopped because the ravager was camping the entrance. (Notably, there are two staircases down that enter level 2 at different points, one on each corner of that throne room where the key was used.) With his current understanding, hard would have been a mistake since that is guaranteed to be in level 2, possibly level 3.

[@luisnunez3606]

The only time a run is pathetic is when the ravenger is stuck so there is no threat that sounds boring & not fun so don't worry all your runs were awesome even in loss if you learn that's good.

[@archniki_]

He was so lucky getting lvl one artifacts most of the time on medium 😊

[@Petulant_Petrichor]

Ember Seeker does mean embers drop in treasure spots. That ding is a treasure drop nearby. Edit: Heads up Tango warned that using the level keys means treasure drops on that level due to how the mechanics work.

[@bruhbutton4520]

Yeah, and to switch it back you need to open up the door again by pressing the button. When coming back up.

[@tetsujin_144]

For the embers you get the toot instead of the ding

[@alexwardlow178]

Also technically the technical name for the ember drop noise is 'toot' ;) not ding

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

Embers drop in different locations than treasures but it's a similar concept

[@lordmctheobalt]

What Tango meant is that you shouldn't open the doors and not go through. If you go through & they close behind you & then you reopen them from the inside there's no problem

[@despynn7362]

Tips: - Each artifact has a different value for trading into frost embers, detonated in the (). Higher difficulty means a higher value artifact pool, but also deeper runs - Speed of completion does not matter. You probably get fewer rewards if you go quickly as you pick up fewer treasure drops - Check your compass to see what level your artifact is on. Medium difficulty can move you to level 2, you’ll need those keys to reach it in that case - Plus ember cards and plus treasure cards drop items in the dungeon for you to find. Keys are considered treasure, buying treasure up cards can help you get to level 2 more consistently for better rewards from tougher runs

[@John-Smlth]

I genuinely think more hermits should be encouraged to have speedy runs like Iskall has here. So many seem to have slow, or greedy runs where they stay in too long. The more time in the dungeon, the more hazard doors close on you, and the more likely it is you run into a ravager. Iskall's no wait, constant running and jumping approach is unlike that from what I've seen from other hermits, but it seems to work for him! I'm excited to see him explore the deeper depths and harder difficulties in future weeks.

[@fushi_ne]

​​​​​​​​​​@@John-Smlth Etho is greedy but he's still doing a great job, it's the fact that he's a great player. My opinion is Iskall is a really good player too, he have very good skills unlike other hermits, that's why he's getting a good run. (like how he's aware of the ravagers and remembering the layout). I don't think Iskall watched the Tango video that's why he's confused and just exiting really fast, but I think he will be so good at this game if he knows anything or have watched the tutorial. Also he's a bit greedy in this video getting that frost ember lol😅

[@JITEG]

@@John-Smlth You can choose your strategy in this game: 1. Be fast but you won't get so much tresaure 2. Be slower and get more tresaure BUT clank and hazard will overtime increase and it will all the time get more and more dangerous. Ofcourse there is more depth to this with different cards and difficulties(AKA levels) but my point is that they are encouraged to play fast but you have the option of taking that risk. Also especially on the earlier runs you will naturally take more time because you just don't know the map yet.

[@randomguy3849]

​@@fushi_neYeah, it also helps that Iskall playtests a mod pack designed around combat and memorization. So compared to other Hermits who sometimes show no object permanence, his speedy approach enables him to skip past the ravagers and let's him quickly turn around to escape

[@ThorvPL]

Additionaly if card costs 7 embers in shop and you put 10, those 3 are added to next person which will shop there. So don't put too much into shulkers cause you will let somebody else easier. The same is with coins always put coins into barrel but one at the time maybe somebody added some additional coins before.

[@raemckay]

Iskall, please go back and watch the tutorial video from Tango, now that you're familliar with things. And go into the "sound check" room and actually *read* the books on the lecterns. You'll learn so much and things will make so much more sense.

[@shadowfireraven1604]

I know all the hermits are notoriously adverse to reading, but if you want a bit more explanation of sounds and systems opposite the entrance to the bubble-vator by the score board there is a stairvwell that leads up to a "tutorial room" if you actually read the lecterns it explains and demonstrates all the sounds and systems you need to be aware of in the dungeon. Loving the runs so far! It's like HC meets VH when you run and it so fun to see two things I love so much come together like this!

[@Halinn]

Iskall is so averse to reading that he didn't read the numbers for the artifacts, nor the level on the compass

[@mr.phantom674]

[@ArchetypeGotoh]

The Frost Ember reward is tied to the artifact you turn in; the Axe was only worth 7, but the JoeHills Book was worth 12; it's not related to speed

[@LucasBenderChannel]

Decked Out is divided into four levels :) The higher your difficulty setting, the deeper into the dungeon you'll need to go. - The ice one you've been playing on, was level 1. But there are three more! Each one is opened by a key. To know, where you need to go, you need to look at your compass! The name tag of your compass will say, what level your artifact is on.

Ember Seeker will drop embers in the dungeon at random locations, it will not add to your total at the end, the embers at the end are calculated based on the difficulty of your artifact's location and value (the number in parenthesis on the artifacts name). Love seeing the DO2 runs and you back with your Darestick 😂

[@Harmless_Toast]

The difference between difficulty is how far from the entrance the artifact is and nothing else

[@arieagle77]

Each artifact has a number after its name. It's the value of the artifact. and also the keys open the next level of the dungeon (the dungeon has 4 levels and you only saw level 1. depending on the difficulty you may need to go further down to get your artifact and they become more valuable. read the compass name it says what level you should go). amazing episode btw.

[@greggp4840]

Would love to watch some more full Decked Out episodes! Keep em coming as long as its open! You've probably heard by now, but to explain Frost Embers fully (or at least the bits you should know): - The Dungeon difficulty effects how far in you need to go to get your Relic. The further in you go, the better your odds at a high value Relic. - When you get your relic, it has a number in brackets. This is how many frost embers it is worth! - If you're playing on Medium or higher, make sure to check what "level" your compass is - a level 2 compass will need you to unlock the stairs and travel down to level 2, etc. - As you guessed, the Ember Seeker card (and other cards like it) will cause additional Frost Embers to drop around the dungeon, which you will need to find and pick up. If you're close enough you'll hear a noteblock toot noise when it first drops (not to be confused with sound Treasure makes).

[@TacoShade]

The + frost embers just randomly drops it somewhere in the floor

[@patchworkgolem]

I don't know if he did but it is important to read the lecturns in the sound test room as they have important info on what the sounds do and some of the functions of decked out. I know one hermit didn't in their first episode and made a point to describe how valuable the info was at the start of their next episode.

[@daxta5307]

Your compass says what level your artifact is on. You only need a key if it's on level 2

[@rentibu1514]

If you choose a higher difficulty level, you have to go deeper (also to lower levels) in the dungeon and there you will find more valuable artefacts. Speed has nothing to do with the amount of frostembers you get. The embers you will get for the run are the ones written in ( ) of the artefacts plus the embers you found during the run.

[@CarlRyds]

Ember Seeker means it pulses the ember system two times, you'll see them on the floor. It doesn't mean you get 2 more embers per artifact. Also, each time it pulses it has a chance to drop them - not 100%. Listen out for “tut” noises. If you go to the Tutorial room, it explains everything and you can listen to the noises.

[@Werewolf914]

I'm addicted to Decked Out not only did I watch both the 8 and 6 hour Tango streams day one, but I've been watching every Hermits POV, and I've spent my entire free time watching any Hermit Streams I can find, I even woke up early to watch as much as Pearls Stream as possible, and even though I was exhausted at work after only sleeping for like 4-5 hours it was totally worth it, usually I only catch the tail end of Pearls streams.

[@DaveTpletsch]

Ok Iskall, a couple of quick tips: 1: Pay attention to sounds. When you hear a single bell chime, it's treasure being dropped, and the sound is a noteblock telling you where that treasure was dropped. That includes Frost Embers. 2: Each artifact is worth a specific amount of embers, that value is in the parentheses, and isn't affect by speed. you should be using that information to help you plan ahead for the shop. 3: The compasses also have extra text that tells you what level of the dungeon their artifact is on, it's important to look at because both medium and hard difficulties span multiple dungeon levels. 4: Don't use the key to open level 2 The Caves of Carnage unless your compass is leading you there as activating level 2 will make it so treasure and embers stop generating on level 1 only get dropped on level 2. 4: Jump Boost is specifically incentivised to the point where it's almost OP. Invest in it as soon as you can find a card for it and you might double the amount of loot drops you'll have access to.

[@Sboss3333]

iskall, there are some major things that you missed while playing decked out: 1. difficulty does not change any game mechanics. You simply have to go deeper in the dungeon to get ur artifact. The compass’s name tells u what level u can find ur artifact on. On medium difficulty, it will either give u an artifact deep into level 1 or the beginning of level 2. When u opened that door with the key, u entered level 2, which was not needed because ur compass said that the artifact was on level 1. To increase the chance of keys dropping, get more cards that increases the chance of treasure. 3. You are mixing up the concepts of hazard and clank. On cards, hazard is symbolized as a caution sign, whereas clank is symbolized by the comic bubble. Hazard is based on time in the dungeon and will randomly increase, indicated by the crumbling noise. Higher hazard means higher chance of doorways being blocked off. Clank, on the other hand, increases when a shrieker goes off (the shrieker noise that u were hearing). If you sneak, the shrieker will not go off. At max clank, the vexes get released. When a card that blocks clank or hazard gets played, it will queue clank block and hazard block, seen on the map. The next time you activate a shrieker or hazard tries to increase, they will be blocked and not count if you have any clank block or hazard block in ur queue. 3. Each artifact is worth a different value. The artifact’s name will have a number in parentheses next to it, which tells u the amount of frost embers you will get for selling it. The artifact will increase in value as you get artifacts that are deeper in the dungeon. 4. Do not put more frost embers in the shulker than what the item that you are buying is worth. Doing this may break the game or give the next player an unfair advantage.

[@laartje24]

Yay, I loved the Decked out special! Can we make Decked out regulars? Also I don't wanna spoil anything, so I would recommend watching Tango's How to video one more time, as it explains a few of your questions. There is also a tutorial room in the hall with the score board.

[@dyr8776]

@iskall85 I believe that every artifact spot is always active. So during the second run when you threw in your compass to check if it was the same location as the previous run, it would've given you an artifact regardless. Tango said its the honor system that you only use the correct spot. Love the Vid!

[@Noctiluca333]

If you follow the ding noise, you will get treasure. A bong noise is embers. Tutorial room with noises has explanations worth reading about that. Your artifact has a number on it with the embers you get. It is random at each location so the same location may give different values, but generally the deeper you are in a level or the lower your level is, the more it’s worth. Always check your level on your compass first thing!

[@julianthebagel2299]

just so you know the artifact drop off locations dont have filters on them so make sure you put it in the right one, on your fourth run your compass said level two, meaning it wasnt even on that level of the dungeon, so you did an accidental cheat. ask tango or other hermits how to get to level 2 also your frost ember card drops emberes inside the dungeon when played, you have to find them. when they are dropped they will make a noteblock sound which is directional, follow the sound to get your rewards

[@soimproved]

I feel like his 2nd run was accidental cheating as well. he just assumed

[@phiefer3]

No, his fourth run (the one where he got the pearl) he had a level 1 compass, you can see when he throws it at 13:30 also, given the way the compass turned as he walked through the room, as well as the direction it pointed when he went all the way to the wall, it looks like that was the correct spot for his compass. his fifth compass was a level 1 compass at 17:00 and his sixth run was also a level 1 compass 22:00 The only level 2 compass he got in this video was his first medium run when he died right at the start. It did look like his 2nd run he did throw it in the wrong spot, but that was the only one.

[@tornadey018]

1) The artifact has a number indicating the frost embers you get 2) Speed has nothing to do with it 3) Your frost ember card puts them throughout the dungeon; you have to get them. 4) Difficulty only changes the level you'll need to be; increases artifact rarity. Thats it Edit: Iskall I feel like you should just watch Tango's instructional video before every run

[@EdwardVanWinkle]

Pro sound tip: 1. Go into your voice chat mod settings (by default press V) 2. Click the third button beneath the settings button (hover over and it will say "adjust volumes") 3. Adjust your "Music discs" volume as needed Explanation and more helpful details: Henkelmax's AudioPlayer mod, which you're using for goat horns and music discs, runs through the Simple Voice Chat mod and is mostly unaffected by the normal minecraft sound options. Changing the music disc volume via Simple Voice Chat will then allow you to turn your overall game sounds back down and save your ears from certain doom. lol. A good rule of thumb is that, with regards to Tango's main door into decked out (with the glowing blocks piston door), the sound effect for that door should probably be as loud as, or louder than, the pistons. Hope I got that right and that it helps! :)

[@giorgiodallalana5495]

Iskall, always check your compass, the level of the compass refers to the level the artifact will be on. The "room" you opened was the entrance to level 2. And finishing the run faster does not give you more rewards, it just gets harder. Important: Keys are considered Treasure, so if you get more Treasure hunter cards, the keys will drop faster. This will be very important to get to lower levels

[@notagoat281]

The amount of Frost Embers awarded for turning in an artifact is static for each artifact. In other words, each artifact has a predefined amount of Frost Embers that you will get for turning it in. One artifact might be worth 7, another 8, and a rarer one might be worth 20. The same artifact will always have the same value. Cards that increase Frost Ember drops drop their Frost Embers randomly in the dungeon and _do not add to artifact reward._ You must find these Forst Embers in the dungeon _in addition_ to finding your artifact. The only thing the cards modify is the dungeon itself, either by reducing the danger or by increasing the amount of loot (Coins, Crowns, Keys, and extra Frost Embers) you can come across in the dungeon _in addition_ to your artifact. Also, you probably shouldn't increase the difficulty until you can get more cards that drop treasure, because higher difficulty means deeper in the dungeon, and you need a unique Key to access each floor after the first (a different Key for each floor). Those Keys drop with treasure. Note: extra Frost Ember drops are separate from treasure drops, with treasure being Coins, Keys, and Crowns. And yes, each artifact is based on a hermit.

[@julianortiz5712]

A few things to help you out, Iskall: The most important one: The name of the compass determines how far down you need to go in the dungeon. You were lucky that most of yours today were Level 1, but when playing Medium, you can get either Level 1 or Level 2 Compasses. To get to Level 2, you need to do what you did in your last run: Obtain a key, offer it to the kneeling man, and go down the hallway (and hope Ravagers don't block the entrance). The number next to the artifact is what determins how many frost embers you'll get. The reason you got less from the Axe is because the other artifacts (like Tome of the Hills) were worth more. Artifacts from lower levels will be worth more. The Ember Seeker card does exactly what you said: it drops embers in the dungeon, it doesn't affect the amount of embers in the end. The speed in which you traverse the dungeon doesn't affect rewards. However, by going faster, you ensure you explore more of the dungeon in less time, which can help out with Treasure, Embers, and overall, escaping the dungeon faster. Finally, the artifacts are indeed references to the hermits. In this case you got Joe, Pearl, and Xisuma's artifacts, but further down in the dungeon you could potentially find an iskall related artifact...

[@darthrak2067]

so frost embers in card will drop frost embers in the dungeon for you to pick up and the amount you get at the end is based off the amount on the artifact

[@MrPuddle01]

Wow Iskall is so good at Decked out. Hmmm I wonder why. It's almost like he's been playing a similar concept game in modded Minecraft for years lol

A couple of things: - The name of the compass lets you know what level the artifact is on - if you're playing Medium and the compass says level 2, then you're gonna have to unlock level 2. - The map doesn't update unless there is a spectator account over it - Ember seeker spawns additional embers across the dungeon - You can see the number of embers a artifact gives you in the brackets - Speed doesn't matter, what matters is the difficulty and the treasure you got inside - Yes, the artifacts are references to various hermits

[@hagangray8006]

I know people have pretty much given all this advice, but here it is all in one place: 1. Speed doesn't matter on reward, however the longer you stay in the dungeon the more dangerous it gets 2. Your artifact says how many embers its worth 3. The higher the difficulty the deeper into the dungeon the compass leads 4. the compass will say what level it's on, and to get to another level you need its key and to find the door where you can submit the key 5. If tango's spectator account is offline, the map will be broken (and you should tell tango) 6. Ember seeker and treasure hunter do only spawn embers and treasure into the dungeon (on the level you're on) 7. Keys are considered treasure, so more treasure hunter cards will help you find a key faster to the next level 8. Hazard is what causes doors to close, and it goes up the longer your in the dungeon, so the more hazard block you have the less closed doors. 9. Clank goes up when you walk on a shrieker (they are randomised each run) and at max clank the vex will come out (clank block will prevent clank when a shrieker activates, if you have any at the time)

Looking forward for next episode stating off with all the things the comments will tell the things that went right over iskall's head lol.. good job though completing the vaults with so little correct information about the game. Feels like he didnt watch the how to play video very thouroughly

[@ladymorgana2313]

great success! also, ur doing very well. ur figuring out the mechanics and how most things work quite well, keep at it! (maybe read the tutorial books tango set up in the sound test area)

[@chrispetri791]

Fantastic runs Iskall! Its awesome that you're enjoying Decked Out so much, and I can't get enough of watching your runs. A few things of note regarding the game though: - Make sure to read item names when you pick them up (if safe to obviously). All compasses are named indicating the level of the dungeon you need to go to, while all artefacts have numbers in brackets. This tells you how many Frost Embers that artefact will be worth once you turn it in. - As you thought, the Ember Seeker card queues 2 Frost Embers to be deposited in the dungeon, ensure that your noteblock noises are turned all the way up as these do not use music discs. A 'toot' indicates an Ember drop, while a 'ding' indicates treasure dropping. - Treasure is naturally released in the dungeon on a timer, while Frost Embers can only be released by cards being played. This makes Ember Seeker an extremely important card long term as getting any extra can make the difference between purchasing 1 card or 2. - The dungeon generates approximately 20 clank (shriekers) before max is reached and vex are released. Your Sneak cards queue Clank Block (displayed on the map) which will cause a tiptoe sound effect to be played following the next clank, meaning that clank did not count. - Without an account standing on the map holding a map so that it shows updates, it will not update during your runs. Tango uses his cam account to do this normally, however with it not active the map will not work properly. Hope I could help and can't wait to see many more runs! :)

[@kostasgeorgiou2417]

Iskall you don't have to cut your runs, the longer the better. Everyone loves decked out

[@jratk4541]

Bro you need some tutoring from other hermits or the dungeon master him self.

[@kevenweaver9266]

SOMEONE didn't watch the tutorial video 😂😂

[@MrInfin1x]

Iskall read the name of the artifacts and the compass. Compass tells you what floor it's on artefact tells you how many embers it's worth.

[@DragonGirlFire]

Getting the artifact is top priority to win the run but sticking around to find treasure in a fast run allows for more reward.

[@MacDaddyWhite]

Iskall it’s very obvious you didn’t watch tangos video on how to play. It would answer so many of the questions you have about the dungeon. It’s very hard to watch you play and ask all of these questions that tango has answered already.

[@BlueTornado272]

Good runs! Glad that you are liking Decked Out, I am looking forward to seeing you play it more

[@masi416]

All the points that exept a compas actually accept ANY item. Tango told that it was to difficult to make a filter on every spot. He assumes the hermits will not cheat by just going over to the same place. I couldn't tell if it was actually the same place in the second run.

[@cameronmacgillivary5549]

The name of the compass is what level it is on... at 10:45 you got a compass labeled level 2 artifact. This means you need to find a key and go to the next level down. It changes with your difficulty. When you have a card like frost seeker or treasure hunter, when it is played, it drops the specified amount of the item INSIDE the dungeon or you to find. A ding sound effects, like at 12:46 means that there is a treasure drop nearby. A key is a type of treasure, you need to pay attention for the ding. The number of frost embers you get at the end depends on you artifact. For example, "The Axe of the Screaming Void (7)" will give you 7 frost embers. The deeper you go into the dungeon, the more your artifacts will be worth. If you want more frost embers at the end, you need to increase the difficulty to get more valuable artifacts

I love the DECKED out content! Keep it up HALLO??!

Cool

[@lightHouseOnAHill]

Nice

[@L0Beans]

Also Iskall, When you get an artifact from the dungeon, the number next to the name (In brackets like this) is the ember value, aka the amount of frost embers you will get if you get out alive. PS you are corect that the Ember Seeker drops inside the dungeon and not at the end.

[@arcticoutlawiscsm2]

Few things IskallMan: One: +2 frost embers or something similar means +2 drops in the dungeon for that specific thing, like frost embers. Two: The difficulty is what determines how deep into the dungeon you delve. The compass name will tell you what level your artifact is on. Three: The key's are what allow you to go a deeper level. Four: The amount of Frost Embers you get at the end of the run depends on the value of your artifact. The number on the artifact name tells you how much you get. Example "Axe of the Screaming Void (7)" gives you 7 Embers. Five: The harder the difficulty you select, the more the artifact is worth. That's it. Keep Calm And Hate Diorite (yeah idk y i did that).

[@ariessnow9081]

For a man so good at vaulting I was expecting good runs from him, but he barely knows anything about the game which is kinda disappointing :,)

[@JaegerDreadful]

I AM HERE BEFORE THE NOTIFICATION ON DISCORD

[@stephanberg7335]

I love that the one cards said Loot and Scoot! Reminds me of the VH discussion on how to call someone fleeing a Vault😂

[@AndresFelipeRa]

Hey Iskall the longer you stay the more clank is generated, but you don't need to leave that fast you can look around, more treasure can be found and also embers but they dont spawn everywhere so you need to learn what are the places they normally drooped, is still random if they drop or not, Ember Seeker does mean embers drop in treasure spots. Also medium will sometimes gave you a compass that point to level 2 so you would need a key to unlock the area and go deeper, keep in mind there's always verticality, difficulty normally means how deep you need to go in the dungeon, once you are out of clank block you need to go slower (crouch) since Shriekers will increase your clank level and walls will start to turn on, when the clank level is at the top evokers will start to spawn vex and at that point is almost always game over

[@Dripshadow1]

did he even watch the how to play video ? he doesnt know anything

[@zilleeizad]

And the compass name tells you which level the artefact is on. That's where keys come in.

[@odieguy4785]

The number in brackets is the amount of frost embers you get from your artifact

[@bengoodwin2141]

The artifact value is correlated to how deep you go into the dungeon, which in turn is roughly correlated with the difficulty level. Speed makes no direct difference, rather the longer you can afford to stay in the dungeon, the more treasure drops.

[@abhijeetvdsh]

Gem will cry of she saw this video ... her two runs were wasted when she wanted the keys and iskall peeked level 2 without knowing or needing it

[@CubedLettuce]

The number inside the parentheses on the artifact is how many frost embers you will revive when completing your run.

[@Gramaa1322]

Iskall is one of the best if not the best at reading compass, its so relief to watch hermit with that ability

[@OverWims]

The artifcats get better the deeper into the dungeon you go. To go deeper, you select a more difficult play level. Easy means the first half of level 1, medium is back of level 1 or beginning of level 2 and so on. Each artifact is worth different amounts of Frost Embers, but the same artifact is always worth the same amount. The amount is displayed in brackets on the items name. Each of the artifacts is related to a different hermit. The frost ember card doesn't give you 2 extra embers. It _drops_ 2 embers into the dungeon that you then have to find. If you don't find them, you don't get them. Hence the name "Ember seeker" as in you have to seek the embers.

[@polios3123]

it's funny how iskall says stupid/wrong things every 30sec of playing xD

[@elviraeriksson-pn7jd]

Iskall: it’s only Tuesday Also iskall: uploads on Thursday…

[@kaelanirizar6845]

quick tip: the amount of embers you het is shown next to the relic name example: relic (13), that means 13 embers. and the ember seeker drops embers throughout the dungeon like coins

[@karhall1635]

As I'm sure many people have already pointed out, the number of embers you get at the end is dependent on the difficulty and which artifact you receive. Each artifact has an ember reward, noted with a number in the name of the artifact; e.g. Tome of Hills (12) always gives 12 embers. Artifact rewards from higher tier runs are generally greater than lower tiers. As difficulty rises, the compass will also tell you what level of the dungeon your artifact is found on. Level 1 being the snowy ice area, and Level 2 being the dark area you unlocked with the key. Check the compass' level to know whether or not you need to prioritize keys on your higher tier run.

[@bchurchill49]

When you got the pearl of cleansing you through it in the wrong spot. it was a level 2 artifact...

[@fairaoarlen]

He so fast, the Ravengers dun even have time to notice him

[@alexfitzpatrick8476]

it says the amount of embers you are gonna get next to the name of the artifact and the ember seeker spawns more embers in the dungeon you arent guarentied

[@Erik-cc4sf]

Great video Iskall!! There are a few things I don't think you're noticing: the compass will say what level the artifact is on (the first medium run where you died right away was level 2), the artifacts say how much they are worth in parenthesis at the end, the Tome of the Hills (12) gives 12 frost embers, and you were correct that Ember Seeker, like Treasure Hunter, drops loot randomly in the dungeon, and if you are nearby you get a note block sound. I don't remember if you went to the tutorial room up the stairs in the Great Hall but it has lecterns with information and buttons to hear what the sounds mean. The hermits are also writing some of their observed knowledge of DO2 up in The Q. Sorry for such a long comment but I hope some of this helps!

[@squigglysailor6261]

Iskall’s movement skill is very high but he’s missing the fundamental knowledge of the dungeon

[@OverWims]

The map had no use in these runs due to TangoCam not being online. The map only works if TangoCam is online as he is in the area to keep it loaded so it updates.

[@ultimatememe3586]

Hey Iskall! The number of embers you get from an artifact comes from the number on the artifact. That's why it seems random. Also the ember seeker card doesn't add 2 embers to your final total, it drops embers in the dungeons twice. Hope this was helpful!

[@n0obi]

Iskall! The number in an artifact, IS THE AMOUNT OF FROST EMBERS! Just a note, and please im yearning more decked out, mooreee! :D

[@m_t_t_]

There are levels to decked out. The difficulty defines what level compass you will be given. Surprised that you didn’t know that

[@JBOboe720]

Love that Iskall was completely unaware of the different treasure levels, which could have lead to some confusion, except the one run where he actually got a level 2 compass was also the one where he died in 5 seconds.

[@SirTimid_]

Iskall! It's crazy to see how fast you're learning the game, considering these are your first runs and you knew next to nothing. No spoilers here, but I'd suggest going to the tutorial room Tango has set up inside the castle to familiarize yourself with the sounds you hear when you play the game. The volume slider you should turn up isn't in the vanilla Minecraft sounds, but rather it's the VOIP mod that Hermitcraft is running. You should see two sliders there, one for custom noteblocks and one for custom horns (I think). As others have probably said, Decked Out rewards don't scale with the speed in which you clear the dungeon but rather with the difficulty you choose. However getting out fast (when Hazard and Clank are still low) means you're safer, staying inside the dungeon longer increases rewards (via ember seeker drops/treasure) but also makes it harder to get out. And an important heads up! Tango hasn't set up a filter for the compass drop-offs so any spot will accept any compass. He's mentioned though that you're all supposed to only use the correct compass on the correct drop off. I'm only saying this so you double check if it's the correct drop off before dropping your compass into it, as you can get a higher or lower reward than the one you're supposed to, by accident. Amazing episode!
