Apothic Attributes guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.0.3 to 1.7.1

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.2 guide

This pack ships Apothic Attributes 2.10.1, using the file ApothicAttributes-1.21.1-2.10.1.jar. It was first included in version 0.32 or earlier, so it has been part of the pack for a good while.^[1]

Unverified No guidebook or platform description for Apothic Attributes was available when this guide was written, so what the mod adds in this pack is unconfirmed here. Check the other sections of this guide for any details that could be confirmed.

Apothic Attributes is about stats rather than items. The sources I have describe the attributes and effects it adds, so the best first step is to learn what each stat does. That way you can read it on your gear and know what it is worth.^[2]

Stats worth knowing early

• Crit Chance is the chance any damage you deal critically strikes. Crit Damage is the multiplier on those hits, and it includes vanilla jump crits, so the two work as a pair.^[2]
• Life Steal heals you for a percentage of post-mitigation damage. Overheal uses the same idea, but grants an absorption shield instead.^[2]
• Dodge Chance is the chance to dodge a melee attack or a projectile.^[2]
• Mining Speed is how fast you mine blocks compared to normal. Experience Gained is a multiplier on the experience you get from breaking blocks and killing mobs.^[2]
• Draw Speed is how fast you draw ranged weapons such as bows, crossbows or tridents. Arrow Damage is a damage multiplier for arrows, and tridents count as arrows. Arrow Velocity is a speed multiplier, and arrow damage scales with velocity.^[2]
• Healing Received is a multiplier on all incoming healing.^[2]

Offense that bypasses defenses

Several stats cut through the target's defenses. Armor Pierce is a flat reduction to the target's armor value, while Armor Shred is a percentage reduction. Protection Pierce and Protection Shred are the flat and percentage reductions to the target's protection point total.^[2]

Fire Damage and Cold Damage add bonus magic damage on melee attacks. Fire burns the enemies you hit, and cold slows them. Current HP Damage adds bonus physical damage on melee attacks, based on the target's health.^[2]

Effects you may run into

• Bleeding inflicts damage every two seconds.^[2]
• Sundering increases the damage the affected target receives.^[2]
• Detonation inflicts damage on expiry, based on the remaining fire ticks.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no in-pack recipes or quests for this mod, so I can't give you an ordered list of items to craft first. Only the stat and effect descriptions above are confirmed.

I can't lay out a tier-by-tier path for this mod from the pack's data, so this section stays short. What the mod's own data files do show is how it groups damage types and attributes, and that is worth knowing when you start tuning builds.^[3][4][5]

How the mod groups damage and attributes

• Damage that can't crit: the cannot_critically_strike damage type tag lists the apothic_attributes:current_hp_damage damage type and everything in the bypasses_invulnerability tag.^[4]
• Non-physical damage: the is_non_physical tag covers the magic, poison, wither, fire, explosion, lightning and freezing damage groups.^[5]
• Dynamic base attributes: the dynamic_base attribute tag simply points to the puffish_attributes:dynamic tag.^[3]

These tags come from the mod's own jar in this version. The sources don't show the pack changing them.^[3][4][5]

The config you will actually touch is enchantments.cfg. For each enchantment it has four options: Max Level, Max Loot Level, Max Power Function and Min Power Function. Each Max Level and Max Loot Level can be set anywhere from 1 to 127.^[6]

What the pack changed

In the part of the file I could see, only one enchantment differs from the mod default: Endless Quiver. The pack raises its max level to 9 where the mod default is 1, and its loot level to 5, also up from 1.^[6]

• [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#apothic_enchanting:endless_quiver.Max Level]]: 9 in the pack (mod default 1).^[6]
• [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#apothic_enchanting:endless_quiver.Max Loot Level]]: 5 in the pack (mod default 1).^[6]

Max Level versus Max Loot Level

Max Level is the highest level the enchantment can reach. Max Loot Level is the highest level you can find from loot sources. The two are often different, so the top levels are meant to be reached by other means than loot.^[6]

The pack leaves these at the mod default for the rest of the entries I could see. Some examples: Sharpness is 9 with a loot level of 5, Efficiency is 9 and 5, Fortune is 8 and 3, and Feather Falling is 11 and 4. The file's own comments note the original levels, for example 3 for Icy Thorns and 5 for Sharpness, so the higher caps come from the mod.^[6]

• [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#minecraft:sharpness.Max Level]]: 9, with [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#minecraft:sharpness.Max Loot Level]] at 5.^[6]
• [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#minecraft:fortune.Max Level]]: 8, with [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#minecraft:fortune.Max Loot Level]] at 3.^[6]
• [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#minecraft:feather_falling.Max Level]]: 11, with [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#minecraft:feather_falling.Max Loot Level]] at 4.^[6]
• [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#apothic_enchanting:icy_thorns.Max Level]]: 5, with [[config:config/apothic_attributes/enchantments.cfg#apothic_enchanting:icy_thorns.Max Loot Level]] at 3.^[6]

Single-level enchantments such as Mending and Silk Touch stay at 1 for both options. The file also covers enchantments from other mods, including Ars Nouveau, Ars Elemental and Farmer's Delight, using the same four options.^[6]

Power functions

Max Power Function and Min Power Function let you set the enchanting power an enchantment needs, using a formula where x is the level. In every entry I could see, the pack leaves both blank, the same as the mod default.^[6]

Unverified The file listing I had was cut off, with 32 more options not shown. Other settings live in config/apothic_attributes/apothic_attributes.cfg and config/apothic_attributes/apothic_enchanting.cfg, and I can't confirm their values here.
