Best ring for combination is lucky rings; I have two lucky rings combined with an iridium band and burglar ring, and it turns worst luck into best luck, and best luck into 3x best luck. It's INSANE, and you'll immediately notice things get impacted by your massive, passive luck buff.

Powerful on the pickaxe actually allows you to break all the rocks with one swing, which is pretty nice. Even an iridium pickaxe can’t break them in one swing without it

[@Arixandrine]

Also efficient on the pickaxe is kinda huge if you're not super late game, it's by far the tool that drains the most energy out of all of them

[@FicusLicker]

@@Arixandrine i mean, by the time you get to ginger island and are enchanting you probably have a few stardrops and a good food source so i would say efficient is still pretty bad

[@ropeburn6684]

Efficient is pretty much a useless buff in late or even mid game. If you haven't upgraded your energy bar several times and virtually endless access to good food at that point, you're doing it wrong. I actually resent it, because it's a useless enchantment that still appears randomly and makes me grind for more prismatic shards to get the enchantments I actually want. Probably because I pretty much hate the deeper skull caverns, it's just tedious - and you need to go there for halfway reliable prismatic shard farming. 😂

[@huntermusselman3250]

​​@@ropeburn6684 I would agree with the skull caverns being tedious, but honestly, going in with 60 to 80 staircases, (you can farm them using jade in a few crystalariums and going to the desert trader on Sundays) a bunch of mega bombs, (I usually just buy the components from Clint and krobus if I run out) and on a good luck day, definitely makes it much more bearable. Really the only way I can actually tolerate it lol

[@acu.32]

I like enchanting my pickaxe with efficient. It makes the the soul sapper ring useless for mines/skull cavern/volcano dungeon runs, and if you use vampire rings with weapons with the vamprific enchantment in addition to that, it will make qi's hungry challenge so much easier.

This is more of an appreciation comment but rings in SDV is one of if not the biggest reasons why I love combat the most in the game, it is simple yet very diverse, you can come up with a lot of combinations, almost like you have a gun loadout in Warzone or something. Here's 4 rings (basically 2 combined rings) I use in certain situations. Day-to-day: Iridium Band, Lucky Ring, Hot Java Ring, Burglar's Ring = really great loadout esp. for people that don't frequent the mines or SC but still want amazing effects. Gives you great lighting and magnetism, damage boost, luck, more loot, and since Coffee or TSE u get from killing monsters with Hot Java Ring already has a significantly high chance, you will never have to worry about slowing down ever again. Combat-specific: A. 2 Iridium Bands, 2 Ruby Rings = very cheap and easy loadout for a straightforwardly good effect, I haven't checked yet if the damage boost stacking is multiplicative (meaning 10% x 10% x 10% x 10%) or additive, but either way it's a load of damage, it defo gives you a lot of breather when dealing with the dangerous version of SC. B. Vampiric Ring, Soul Sapper Ring, Iridium Band, Warrior Ring (alternative: Thorns Ring) = This is really helpful if you don't wanna bring that much food into SC or dangerous Mines, since u gain health and energy back by killing monsters, and if you went with the Thorns Ring alternative, it can be hilarious to see monsters die from reflected pre-mitigation damage and u heal from it. C. Ring of Yoba, Crabshell Ring, Iridium Band, Sturdy Ring = This is more aimed for players who haven't grasped the combat system well yet and just want absolute protection (or just want to not worry about enemies at all so this can be mining-specific as well). Gives u good defense, debuffs are less effective against you (like the slimes' -4 Speed slow), and if u get knocked out, you revive for 50% hp once per day. D. Warrior Ring, Savage Ring, Iridium Band, any ring of choice (sometimes it's Ruby Ring for me but it's really up to your preference) = This loadout makes killing monsters give you the definition of an adrenaline junkie: a chance for you getting +10 Attack from the Warrior Ring, and +3 Speed from Savage Ring for a few seconds. Mining-specific: A. 2 Crabshell Rings, 2 Lucky Rings = if you don't care about using your pickaxe and just wanna bomb everything, this niche loadout can be effective. +10 Defense (and assuming u have Dragonscale Boots) will mean regular Bombs only deal 1 Damage to you, and 5 from Mega Bombs. Good luck finding an extra Lucky Ring, but once you do you probably won't need to use Pickaxes at the end game with this loadout. B. Slime Charmer Ring, Napalm Ring, Burglar's Ring, Lucky Ring = This is for when u wanna just get loads of loot, and the combination of Slime Charmer + Napalm Ring means you pretty much have moving Cherry Bombs, the Napalm Ring also makes Crusader a bit obsolete towards mummies so if you're going for this loadout, make sure you don't have the Crusader enchant on your main weapons. Miscellaneous and Pacifism: A. 2 Iridium Bands, 2 Glowstone Rings = Salmence already mentioned the absurd amount of light and magnetism with this loadout, but this is actually also useful for radioactive ore farming. Just head to floor 1 of the dangerous version of the Mines, use your slingshot with Explosive Ammo towards any Radioactive Node u find, and you don't even have to move from the ladder to get the Radioactive ore because of the immense magnetism, then just leave the floor and repeat. B. 2 Amethyst Rings, 2 Iridium Bands = If you just want the satisfaction of knocking the monsters away to the rings of Saturn, then enchant your weapons with a 3 Amethyst for more Weight, have this loadout, and once your weapon hits them, they will be knocked away so far that they go out of aggro range. There's a lot more possible combinations which, again, is the biggest reason why I love the combat mechanic so much.

Exactly. No one is weaponizing the pickaxe. Powerful on the pick is honestly OP for farming ore when you don’t want to blow through your bombs. Unless you’re good at that slingshot shit which i most definitely am not.

[@RubicGirl]

@@Teejayx3 According to the wiki, it increases the 'power' by one for the pickaxe. Is it really any good? I assume it means one less swing. If so, then for things that take two hits, it would only take one. And in that case the reduction in time is 50%. But for things that take more hits such as iridium or radioactive nodes, then the decrease wouldn't be as substantial, right? I could boot up the game and try it out myself, but I'm too lazy. I hope you can provide a faster answer. I would appreciate it.

as for enchantment, if you are a fan of sword, i would prefer crusader enchantment simply because it kill ghosts way faster (sometimes it's very time consuming to wait for them to come close to you after you hit them, also saves you plenty of time when you are farming for omni geodes), kills mummies way faster (yes you can use bomb to farm ores aswell but again, it's time consuming to wait for the bomb to blow). vampiric is a great enchantment by book but in my opinion if you don't have many foods (cheese for example) to fill your heart bar and you rely on the lifesteal, i wouldn't really recommend you to dive into mines on the first place

Totally AGREED 👍👌

[@nathancarver7179]

Powerful enhantment on the Pickaxe can be good for the skull caverns. Remember, it increases the tool's effect on its respective resources, which, for the pickaxe, means rocks take less swings to be destroyed. The wiki confusingly labels this bonus as "more damage to ..." when it's.. not, exactly damage in the way most players think it is. Powerful on the axe is a little silly though, I agree there.

[@Ikine557]

I find that the Crusader perk on the sword is very useful for farming cloth from mummies. Cloth sells for decent money, is loved by Emily, and is necessary if you want to craft all the clothing items.

[@LakePlacidBear]

This! I feel like cloth is like one of the most overlooked money maker in the game. Monster musk + burglar ring combo, run the pyramid floor and you guys will see my point - crazy amount of clothes by the end of the day.

On the topic of enchanting tools, it can be slightly controlled. I don't know if the pattern is based by the day or if auto generated via seed.

7:18 you say powerful adds damage when you hit an enemy, when what it does is it adds 2 "Power Levels" to an axe, letting you chop trees in less swings.

[@theendofthestart8179]

Usually this doesn't matter, as with an iridium axe, it will only reduce the hits on hardwood stumps from 3 to 2, and hardwood logs from 6 to 5, HOWEVER, not everyone has a fully upgraded axe, and getting powerful is the same as upgrading your tool.

Powerful works the same for a pickaxe :) so late game nodes like cindershards, iridium, and radioactive are going to take 1 less swing

3:55 I know I'm super late but here's a small correction ( In case anyone new, like me, is watching this video ); You can actually get Galaxy Souls in two other ways. 1. " After killing at least 50 Dangerous Monsters [1], Galaxy Souls can also be purchased from Island Trader on the last day of a season for Radioactive Bar.png Radioactive Bar (10). " - The Wiki And 2. They can actually be a dropped item when killing said dangerous monsters. I found this out myself through my own playthrough, and now I have 2 Galaxy Souls as a result. ( Both I've gotten from the Mines with the shrine on )

[@ropeburn6684]

Galaxy souls can also be obtained in the dangerous mines, or during the Danger in the Deep and Skull Cavern Invasion quests. They're rare dangerous monster drops, sometimes even in big slimes. Be aware that you also need to kill 50 dangerous monsters for being able to buy them in Qi's walnut room. However, that's more or less just a technicality. They're really rare drops, and just doing Qi quests for buying them is the more reliable and faster method by far.

[@Indeeee]

An easy recommendation for tools and weapons enchantment for ver 1.6 Spoilers below (if youre here, youve probably reached the forge anyway but still) Tl;dr at the very bottom Weapons:- Crusader or Vampiric if you're using a sword. Thats it. Vampiric is the safest option but I personally lean towards Crusader a bit more since if directly kills the mummies so you dont have to waste a bomb or explosive ammo. The mummy floors in skull caverns are usually infested with them so it makes the job much much easier. Not to mention that the mummies drop valueable items like cloth and curiosity lure. Crusader basically makes mummies go from annoying to satisfying to kill. It also deals more damage to ghosts which makes farming omni geodes way easier. That being said if you're using a hammer then I'd recommend Artful over Crusader and Vampiric since you can spam the hammer's special move way often which is very good. Crusader and Vampiric are still good option tho. As for the dagger well.. I haven't really used it much so I can't really recommend but swords and hammers are better anyways so use them instead. Tools:- For the pickaxe the only recommendation is Swift since it makes breaking rocks and ores way quicker. Everything else is useless. For the axe, the best options are either Swift or Shaving. Shaving gives you more wood while cutting trees and a chance to get hardwood which is always good but this late into the game wood isn't really an issue since you already have lots of money that you can easily buy tons of wood from Robin's shop. As for hardwood, you can find mahogany trees around ginger island or secret woods is always there. Shaving is still a good enchantment but I lean lot more towards Swift since it just gets the job done much quicker. Both good options but Swift is quite better. Others are useless. For the hoe I'd recommend either Archeologist or Generous. That said, Archeologist is only useful if you're struggling with completing the museum but this late into the game you most likely have found all the artifacts or are just missing a few then again you can just trade omni geodes (which you can get alot of by killing ghosts) for artifact troves at the desert trader and unless you have really bad rng that should get you covered. Generous is overall better since you can just get more by digging plain and simple. Others are fairly useless. For the watering can just get the Bottomless, you don't have to refill it ever again. For the fishing rod, prior to 1.6 I'd have said Master since it permanently gives you an extra level but after 1.6 it's not that great anymore since now you have the advanced iridium rod which lets you equip 2 bobbers at once + now we have the deluxe bait which also increases the fishing bar. Also, if you have the statue of blessings you can get the blessing of waters which makes catching the first 3 fishes significantly easier. So yeah... Master is not that good anymore, its still viable tho if you want but I much recommend Preserving now. Since it makes your bait and bobbers last way longer. There's also Auto-Hook which is pretty useless unless you have 0 attention span or are multitasking. The pan can also be enchanted now but I haven't done it yet so I'll skip this part. Soooo.....for Tl;dr Weapons:- Sword - Crusader (highly recommend) or Vampiric (safest option) Hammer - Artful (Crusader and Vampiric are also an option) Dagger - N/A Tools:- Pickaxe - Swift Axe - Swift (highly recommend) or Shaving (niche uses) Hoe - Generous (overall the best) or Archeologist (only if you're struggling with finding artifacts, once you've found all then re-enchant your hoe to Generous) Watering can - Bottomless Fishing rod - Preserving (Master is not that good anymore and Auto-Hook is useless) Pan - Haven't enchanted it yet :x Have a good day 👋

[@anikadaimaginative3020]

Crabshell ring is op, I wore two crabshell rings and my space boots and just walked to the end eating only one salad on my first volcano run. Each defense point means that monsters deal one point less damage. They’d have to land like a million more hits to kill you, with 4 out of 8 of the types of monsters doing only one damage per hit. That’s why, for mines/volcano/cavern, I just wear two crabshell+iridium combo rings if I want to speed run it (actually for mines this is overkill, burglar is better, unless you just don’t care and are mining out gold from floor 80 while ignoring the monsters).

Small correction here: Powerful add +1 power level to the tool, meaning that a fully upgraded Axe can chop a tree in 1 hit instead of 2 (pretty useless if you ask me); but gives the biggest improvement to the Pickaxe, a 24hp rock (volcano) would require 5 swings from a iridium pickaxe, would fall to 4 with powerful. A node that requires 8 swings would fall to 5~6, and so on. I think you made a table on the Mining video, just instead of dividing by 5 (iridium) you do it with 6.

[@NattligMelodi]

Powerful on the Pickaxe also makes it to where basically any rock except for Iridium and Gem rocks break in one hit. I kept that one for that reason, because having to hit all the rocks in the volcano twice really slows you down.

[@Gooseam]

3:55 i’ve gotten galaxy souls from killing enemies in the dangerous mines/infected(?) skill caverns

[@gunawanputera6443]

Slightly correction on powerful enchantment on pickaxe is not for attacking, but decrease hit on node/rocks example with iridium pickaxe, you need to hit iridium node 4 times to break, with powerful enchantment you only need 3 times,

[@talmagejones]

Had no idea about the unforge option. Thanks!

[@Chessegggs]

5:38 crusaders is recommended because it killsmummies without them reviving, and making it not use bombs to kill them completely.

[@Corvuscorax4321]

Nah i LOVE the crusader enchantment. The mummy floors in the skull cavern used to be my worst nightmare, but now they're a breeze. Esp in combination with the napalm ring, since mummies swarm you reliably instead of circling/bouncing like serpents or ghosts, you can save up on bombs by just going to the rocks you want to break, get swarmed by mummies, slay them quickly so they explode, and get both monster loot and staircases+ ore quickly. Mummies are by far the best monster to utilize the napalm ring with imo, so crusader is S tier to me

[@darkshibe2267]

I think I ran Iridium Band + Lucky Ring, and Slime Rancher + Lucky Ring. All that luck is super nice, and I just love not having to worry about slime damage for skull cavern runs. I ran swift on the axe and pickaxe because you can tear through things quickly,. Then I ran reaching on the hoe and watering can so that at the start of the season I could immediately for iridium sprinklers. Fishing I went with the extra level.

[@klaudia2141]

You can also get galaxy souls spawning from killing Qi slimes during the dangerous mine quest! That's how I got all of them.

[@alexyalexers]

Powerful makes it take less swings to break open rocks or trees depending on the tool you are using

[@tantheman0921]

Thanks for this 👍 I just got to the forge today and im saving my prismatic shards and cinder shards. I unlocked the door to the forge and the bridge so I dont have to use my watering can to enter the volcano. I have 4 prismatic shards

[@DorisRoseOfficial]

Awesomeness ❤️ Thank you kindly 🙏 ☺️

[@Ejb5154]

4:00 You can (very rarely) have enemies in the dangerous mines/skull cavern drop Galaxy Souls.

[@jiveformula4316]

Nice quality video, keep up the good work

[@elliottduffey4240]

Pretty sure powerful on the axe and pickaxe allows more than just more damage in combat, it makes it do more damage to trees/rocks when you cut it down/mine it. Honestly might be the best one for each.

[@tobyfinchghost]

i have my iridium band combined with my lucky ring so i have all the glowing / magnet ups as well as extra luck !! and then i typically have my napalm and burglar ring combined since i mine all the time and its good for blowing up rocks in skull caverns :^)

[@cdncowguru]

Thank you, this was s helpful! I didn't know you could enchant your tools as well!

[@hannnix4913]

That intro was just PERFECT 👌 AHHHHHH

[@GoonManGuy]

I can't remember where I got this idea from (either Salmence or Floydson), but a possible use for Crusader would be putting it on a dagger and using its special attack to fight ghosts, drastically cutting down on the amount of times they are pushed away from the player.

[@HardlightMari]

powerfull enchantments dont just make them deal more damage, but add an additional power level to the tool. So things like breaking rocks and cutting trees take less swings. still not as good as the other options but not as bad as they seem initially.

[@f0xxyb0xxes88]

I really like my combo of the slime charmer and vampire rings.

[@emmettomeara1910]

Powerful adds damage when breaking things, not fighting enemies. It reduces the number of hits needed to down a tree or stump or rock.

[@creppypastaGirl1]

❤️❤️ i’m new and i totally love it!

[@miyazakiendo3743]

I don't know why, but I really like to struggle in the game. I'll do the infinite galaxy sword as I always like to go mining. Once you actually get all the stuffs and reaching so much early in the game, it would be boring after that. I won't get the bottomless watering can, as I barely use them also. 😂 hopefully concernedape will still update this, esp there's forging involve. His name is so addicting I'll be sad if he doesn't want to update it anymore.

[@sobblegaming350]

This video was very helpful. However some people have managed to predict enchants on the stardew valley predictor.

[@Porkey_Minch]

That definitely makes things easier

[@jamesdinius7769]

I especially like Burglars ring with Lucky ring for just insane drops. The Hot Java ring is fun, but by this point I already have my greenhouse coffee patch and kegs up and running, so I don't really need more coffee.

[@calamaribowl8683]

The qi gem duplication exploit REALLY helps with getting infinity weapons

[@brianbread7698]

Oh wait what!

[@theendofthestart8179]

1:30 is wrong, thats not how the emerald works, its 2-3-2 not 2-2-3.

[@theendofthestart8179]

id really hate to see someone mess this up, as every sword ive ever enchanted has had the 2nd enchantment be an emerald.

[@dragnof5096]

Great Guide helped a ton

[@HeyGamingHere]

You can also get Galaxy souls from the danger in the deep quest from slimes

[@Sirdirt-iu4kt]

great video. personally i like crusader so i can save bombs as i am not that far into the end game

[@CreepyShadows]

I was enchanting all of my tools while watching and HOW. Like every enchantment that was recommended was the first enchantment i got. I didn’t have to redo any of them. That was funny haha

[@quinten7064]

Add 3 defense gems to a dwarf dagger and keep it next to ur food, come in clutch if you get nuked by a ton of mobs.

[@distriyir]

question: if ur using galaxy hammer should u use emeralds for faster attack or rubies for more damage

[@salmence100]

Personally I’d go with two speed enhancements and one attack

[@distriyir]

@@salmence100 ok thanks

[@theendofthestart8179]

according to math and not just some youtubers gut, it 100% depends on the level 5 and 10 choices you made for leveling. BUT, if you are going for max DPS on the special ability, level 5 scout, giving you +50% chance for crit, you can can pick Acrobat at level 10, halving the cooldown on the special move, this stacks with the artful enchantment, resulting in a 75% cooldown reduction, which is fast enough to always keep serpents at bay in the skull caverns. when going for this build, its good to know that the special attack on a hammer CAN NOT crit, so 3 rubies would be best, since you arent trying to swing the hammer normally. But if you are just using the hammer like a sword, you may want to go with fighter at level 5, giving you 10% more damage, and then brute at level 10 giving you 15% more damage, in this case, you need to think about what you are trying to kill, as dealing more damage than the monster hp, is useless, 3 rubies will turn you galaxy hammer from 70-90 damage into 108-139, and having a base speed of 2 is usually enough. But if you are constantly in the volcano mine, or the difficult version of the regular mines, you can do 1 ruby, and emerald, and then another ruby in that order to get a hammer with 101-130 damage and 5 speed instead of 2. Keep in mind that the galaxy hammer and the infinty gavel both have a base weight of 5, and most enemies will be knocked back enough that the bonus attack speed is USELESS, with obvious exceptions such as the lava dragons, who are stationary always. Why did Salmence say 2 speed and one attack? I will probably never know.

[@theendofthestart8179]

@@salmence100 why? WHY?

[@distriyir]

@@theendofthestart8179 i mean its mostly based on personal opinion but i just like being able to swing fast i also face the wrong direction alot of times to i miss the enemy so yeah but thanks for the explanation

[@DrPapillon]

The Crusader enchantment allowed me to finish my mummy monster slaying goals, i naturally just walk away from mummies in the caverns otherwise since theyre pretty slow

[@jellybeandotcom6498]

Keep up the good work!

[@ButrzV2]

Powerful pickaxe also works on rocks. The regular rocks in the volcano took 2 swings til i got to the forge and now its much easier for me to treasure hunt to level 5 on my trips to the island. Cant say if swift would actually improve that.

[@hannes8835]

This video is very helpful. Thank you very much.

[@lidaburtak]

And thank you for making this video 👍

[@sicilyfranklin3157]

Me, fixing to combine the iridium ring and the slime charmer ring. No regrets.

[@sod.karent207]

Thanks for your informative contents

[@timon8369]

wonderful video thanks!

[@sveeny]

How can you not recommend Crusader?! Killing mummies with approx 2 strikes and no bombs and the time consuming ghosts with 2 strikes is a huge deal. They drop expensive cloth (658g with artisan perk) and have a great probability of spawning a hole or ladder. For me it is a no brainer. Especially with the napalm ring which lets monsters explode it is great for console players who can‘t really play with the slingshot.

[@NTgamezZ]

the best reskin for the infinity blade is probably the meowmere so that you can have the look of the meowmere with the infity blade damage and buffs

[@pank9902]

vampiric definitely IS good, but it only gives a 9% CHANCE to heal for about 10% of the monsters health. that averages to about 1% of enemy health healed each time, which outperforms the vampire ring in late game since most enemies have more than 200 hp (the vampire ring heals a flat 2hp per kill)

[@igorrogaski3357]

I changed the look of my Galaxy Sword to a different one. If I want to upgrade it to Infinity Blade, will the skin I previously chose stay?

[@BigIndianBindi-jy1cz]

Just got to the forge, right at 1:50am. Had no idea what it was and was not prepared.

[@LilLaurasaurus]

Time to go make my galaxy sword look like the meowmere sword 😂 im so glad you can do that
