idk how this isn't common knowledge but if you mine 9 clay and the 4 clay in the stonecutter house, (so 13 clay if you make the stonecutter) you can buy chiseled stone bricks from a mason at level 2.

If this is common knowledge then this is embarrassing but I have never seen someone do it in draft out and I have seen a lot of people smelt the 8 stone in a village with a stonecutter available

This can be really good if there is an easy access lake near the village where you can get 52 or 36 clay balls very easily

this works with 10 clay to buy 20 bricks + 8 chiseled stone bricks as well
GracefulBeauty

instead of 13 clay
Jocurl

Jocurl

Jocurl

10 clay blocks right?
GracefulBeauty

yes

the tradeoff is basically whether you want to mine 3 more clay for 3 bonus emeralds (but no brick trade, unless you want to ig)
GracefulBeauty

can use the 3 emeralds to buy a bucket or w/e so it can still be better depending on the board

Loven

Loven
Loven4 weeks ago

Loven

Loven
Loven4 weeks ago

Jocurl

btw its a 14% chance that u cant level him up with emeralds
Jocurl
JocurlOP4 weeks ago
i really dont think quartz will be viable unless yk ur op is holding it
Threadfinn

Chiseled stone definitely has situations where it's worth
Threadfinn

I feel like quartz is so rare to have it be worth the time investment to try and snipe it
Threadfinn
Threadfinn4 weeks ago
50 clay + 23 emeralds with a 14% chance of failure to get quartz
Threadfinn
Threadfinn4 weeks ago
Even if you already went tc it's probably more worth focusing something else
DriftSythe
DriftSythe4 weeks ago
if that’s the only nether goal and you already have the emeralds from tc there’s like no reason not to go for it
nakedhippo219587

Slipstream

am i reading this wrong? isnt it only a 6% chance to actually get quartz?
Slipstream
Slipstream4 weeks ago
or do you just go master, but then youre guaranteed so the failure rate makes no sense
maskers
maskers4 weeks ago
theres two expert trades, and the 6% is for one of these trades to be quartz
the thing that splits the 7th trade and the 8th trade only applies to bedrock
maskers
maskers4 weeks ago
also that's selling quartz
Slipstream

RIGHT OOF

@Jocurl so when it is master you get them both?
whats the difference in quartz pillar cannot you use it as well?
nakedhippo219587
nakedhippo2195873 weeks ago
and are they both generated in the master trade?
Threadfinn
Threadfinn3 weeks ago
Yes both quartz pillar and block of quartz are guaranteed master level trade for java
Threadfinn
Threadfinn3 weeks ago

Loven

maskers
maskers3 weeks ago
damn you can craft regular quartz stairs out of pillars but not smooth
maskers
maskers3 weeks ago
irrelevant since you get them at the same time anyway but
Jocurl
JocurlOP3 weeks ago
idk if u get both every time but u get the quartz block everytime
and the pillar doesnt count towards the goal so it isnt important
