Neo Vitae guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.1.0 to 1.5.1

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

Neo Vitae is a blood magic mod: you spill your own blood for power. Its heart is the Ara Vitae, a multiblock altar that consumes Essentia Vitae to transmute items. Drop in a Blood Orb and the altar shares your Anima, a personal pool of essentia that follows you between dimensions. The altar has six construction tiers, and the mod has six tiers of Orbs of Vitae. This pack ships Neo Vitae 1.1.21.^[1][2]

From the altar the mod branches out. The Tabula Vitae brews sigil reagents, alchemy flasks and anointments. Sigils are one-handed tools that each do a specific job for an essentia cost. The Hellfire Forge makes Sentient weapons and armor that grow stronger from the mobs you kill. Rituals built around the Master Ritual Stone do work across the world, and a Dungeon dimension holds custom demons.^[1]

Where it sits in the quest book

The pack's quest book has a "Neo Vitae" chapter in the "Magic Mods" group. It follows the mod's own progression, which starts at the Ara Vitae altar. Only part of the chapter is covered here, so the rest of its quests are told in the quest book itself.^[1][3]

• The chapter opens with "Raise the Ara Vitae" quest, where you build the Ara Vitae, the multiblock altar at the heart of the mod. Both "Bind a Novicius Orb" quest and a quest in "Neo Vitae" come after it.^[1][3]
• "Tier I: The Ring of Runes" quest needs both of those quests done first. It is about the rings of runes that shape how the altar behaves. "The Apprentice's Orb" quest follows it, then "Tier 2" quest and a quest in "Neo Vitae".^[1][3]
• The mod has six tiers of Orbs of Vitae, and "Tier II: The Magician's Orb" quest comes after Tier 2. "Rites and Rituals" quest and "The Sentient Shell" quest both follow it.^[1][3]
• The Hellfire Forge crafts Sentient weapons and armor, and "The Hellfire Forge" quest comes after "Throwing Daggers" quest. Routing quests such as "Laying the Veins" quest, plus "Sentient Steel" quest, branch off the forge.^[1][3]
• Later on, "The Tau Harvest" quest leads into "The Athanor" quest, the quest for the Athanor, which has its own recipe type in the mod. The Athanor in turn leads to "The Weak Blood Shard" quest, "The Crucible's Greed" quest and "Enchantment Salvaging" quest.^[1][3]
