Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.1.0 to 1.4.1

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

All of the quests for this mod sit in one place: the "Gearing Up" chapter, in the "Exploration & Combat" group (chapter 14 of 31 in the quest book). The chapter's intro quest, "Gearing Up For Adventure!" quest, says the chapter is about different ways to craft, enhance and enchant the gear you'll need on your adventures. The jewelry quests are a small branch of it, with one starter quest and four follow-ups.^[1]

Starting quest

"Welcome to Iron's Gems & Jewelry!" quest asks you to get a Jewelcrafting Station. The quest text says the mod is about combining materials and Jewels to give you special effects or stat increases. The station lets you start making basic Jewelry, but you'll need to buy the more advanced blueprints from the Shop. This quest has no prerequisite in the book, so it's where you begin.^[1]

Follow-up quests

Four quests unlock after the welcome quest. The book lists each as following the welcome quest directly, so they aren't chained to each other.^[1]

• "Banding Materials" quest is a checkmark quest. Banding materials can be used on their own to grant effects or stat increases, but their main job is multiplying Gem effects with their quality multiplier. Most vanilla gems work, and you can search #jewelry_band in JEI for the full list.^[1]
• "Gems" quest is a checkmark quest. Gems are the part of most Jewelry that grants effects or attributes, and different pieces of Jewelry are affected by Gems in different ways, so check each piece before crafting. Search #jewelry_gem in JEI for a list. This is a different quest from the Apotheosis one that is also called Gems.^[1]
• "Artisan Scrolls" quest is a checkmark quest. Artisan Scrolls can be found as loot or bought from Shops, and you right-click one to learn a Jewel blueprint. Two special scrolls teach you Duality jewelry, which takes attributes from both the Metal and the Gem and has a higher quality overall.^[1]
• "Inscribing Runes" quest covers the Rune Inscribed Ring pattern, which lets you inscribe Runes from the Iron's Spells mod to give the ring different powers. The book encourages you to experiment.^[1]

Good news: Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry only has two server-side options worth knowing about in this pack, and both sit at the mod's defaults. The pack hasn't changed either one, so you get the standard behavior from the mod.^[2]

Server config: Worldgen

• Worldgen.enableDynamicJewelryLoot is set to true, which matches the default. When it's on, jewelry items are inserted dynamically into loot tables based on what those tables already contain. For example, loot tables with gems and equipment can automatically generate jewelry items.^[2]
• Worldgen.jewelerHouseWeight is set to 2, which also matches the default. This is the weight of the Jeweler's House in village generation.^[2]

Unverified How the Jeweler's House weight of 2 compares with other village buildings, and how often you'll actually find one in a village, isn't confirmed by the available sources.
