Talk:Blood Altar

How do i actually get the 3rd tier orb? I need 30.000 Essence for the orb, but i need the orb to get over 10.000 Essence. How does that work?

You have to feed the altar slowly over the course of the transmutation. Sacrificing your health with some regeneration effect may be sufficient, but I'd recommend building some sort of mob spawner nearby and feeding mobs to use your Dagger of Sacrifice on. Depending on what other mods you're using, you may not have any way to create a mob spawner, in which case you might just want to breed a ton of chickens beforehand or something. Eventually, you can set up a ritual like the Well of Suffering to constantly refill your altar.

Also, to clarify, you need 30K essence in the blood altar to make the orb, not in your network. The size of your orb only affects the amount of essence you can put in your network. Runes of Augmented Capacity are the only way to increase the altar's capacity. -50.131.243.230 07:08, 6 October 2014 (CEST)

It looks like the text info for the last tier is wrong. Those blocks are NOT 2 blocks out and 1 block down from the last tier, but rather 3 (fixed it myself).
