Quick answers to the questions players ask most.
Frequently Asked Questions
Basics
How do I open the quest book?
Press O by default. If that does nothing, open Options → Controls and search for "Quests".
Do I have to do the Acts in order?
Only Act II first. Acts III to VI can be done in any order. Act VII needs all four Seals. See The Acts.
Which Act should I do first?
Most players do Steel first, then Ages, then the Wild, and finish with Ruin, which has the hardest fights.
Can I play with friends?
Quest progress is shared by team, as in any FTB Quests pack. Coins and skills are per player, and everyone needs to meet their own gear locks.
What should I do when I run out of quests?
Run the Contract Board, fill the Codex, finish the Collector's Shelf sets, chase the Dragon's Hoard milestones, take on boss rematches, and save for the crystal-priced Wonders.
Skills and gear
Why can't I use my new weapon or armor?
It is skill-locked. Hover it to see the requirement, then raise that skill. See Skills and Gear Locks.
How do I level a skill?
Open the skills screen and spend XP levels. Quests, bosses and contracts pay XP levels for exactly this reason.
Do skills reset when I die?
No. Death does not reset your skills in this pack.
What skill levels do I need for the bosses?
As a guide: Steel wants Attack and Defense 10, Wild and Ages want 15 to 20, and Ruin wants the Cataclysm gear's Attack 35 to 40, Magic 28 to 38 and Defense 30 to 35. These are guidance, not hard gates.
My spell book will not equip.
Spell books want Magic and Casting. An Iron spell book needs Magic 12 and Casting 10. Raise both.
Coins and the Vault
Where do I put my coins? How do I spend them?
Right-click a coin to bank it. Use the buttons in your inventory to pull coins back out. Shop quests take coins from your inventory. See Coins.
A shop quest says "Submit" and nothing happens.
Check that the coins are in your inventory, not just banked. Every price is in one coin type, so you cannot pay a gold price with silver.
Can I buy something again?
Most Vault items repeat. Manuals, Perks, Collector rewards and Hoard milestones are one-time. See The Vault.
Are the Ledger Perks permanent?
Yes. Each can be bought once.
What do Mystery Crates give?
A random reward from a weighted table. Pay, then claim the reward on that quest to see what you got. Crates are for fun; Manuals and Perks are the guaranteed route to power.
What is the best first purchase?
Thick Skin (+1 heart) or Light Step (+2% speed), or a Training Manual for your main skill. See Coins.
Bosses
Where do I find a boss?
Look at that boss's lane in its Act. The Locate step names the place. Use the Explorer's Compass for structures and mark everything on your map.
I beat a boss before its quest unlocked. Does it count?
Kill tasks only count while the quest is active. You will need to defeat it again. The Contract Board has repeatable rematches for exactly this reason.
A "Locate" step won't complete.
Make sure you have actually discovered the structure or reached the advancement. Some Locate steps use a stand-in structure (for example, a desert pyramid for Sirok). Complete the stand-in and move on.
Wyrmroost bosses have no arena. What do I do?
Find them in the wild. There is no summoning item. Choose ground you can survive falling off. See Act IV.
Trouble
I died. How do I get my things back?
The pack includes grave and undying-charm mods to help, but do not rely on them. Mark your death location, come back prepared, and keep an escape (ender pearl, waystone) in your hotbar.
A chapter looks empty.
Many chapters unlock from the previous Act's hub or from the Oath in Act II. Finish that first.
Banners and ribbons are missing.
Fully restart the game so the resource pack reloads.
