How to Choose Combat Gear: Malachite, Sapphire, or Rhodochrosite

Deciding Between Raw Damage and Set Buffs

Crystals Overhauled Mod offers distinct weapon and armor stats depending on whether you value hit power or combat speed:

• Malachite Gear: Green malachite tools deal increased attack damage. Wearing a full set of malachite armor also grants the Strength potion effect, boosting your overall melee output. Use malachite when you want a steady offensive boost supported by bonus potion strength.
• Sapphire Tools: Blue sapphire tools deal highly increased attack damage, providing even higher single-hit power than malachite tools for bursting down tough enemies quickly.

Using Rhodochrosite for Fast Attack Speeds

If your combat approach prioritizes rapid strikes rather than heavy, slow impacts:

1. Craft pink Rhodochrosite tools.

2. Wield these tools when facing swarms of fast-moving mobs or enemies that require constant knockback. Rhodochrosite tools feature highly increased attack speeds, allowing your attack meter to recharge much faster between swings.

3. Pair Rhodochrosite weapons with high-protection armor sets to stay resilient while landing continuous, rapid blows in close-quarters melee combat.
