Upgrade Block: Ragecraft 2 Episode 49.5

  • Published on

This one is a short bonus episode. Team B.S. stands in the monument hall with an emerald block in hand, and the deaths sidebar reads Scoti_Garbidis 74 and BasketMC 52. Scoti's counter opens at 74, one more than at the end of last episode. "The important part is that we have an emerald block now."

A third emerald block

The wool row still shows White, Orange and Magenta. Basket places the emerald block in the row above, next to the two already there, and opens the reward chest below it. "What do we get?"

The tooltips answer. One item is "Upgrade Block [1 out of 4]," which "Can be used to unlock upgrades." Next to it sit Angelic Boots with Fire Protection III, Feather Falling IV and +12% Speed, marked as a bonus item. "That's awesome."

Two choices

They head to the upgrade room, a stone hall of pedestals with signs above each one. One pedestal is signed "UPGRADE: Divine Shield." Another is signed "UPGRADE: Hunting." Its signs say that every time a player kills a mob there is a chance the group gets certain items, and that one upgrade gives "Flames (raw material for chain armor)."

"For the multiplayer ones there's only two options," one of them says. The shield refreshes "every 75 seconds," and they weigh that against the armor. "Leather armor's not cutting it." "My vote's chain." "Yeah, no, let's go for the chain mail."

On top of the stained glass

Another sign in the room spells out the rule: upgrades unlock by placing "Upgrade Blocks" on top of the stained glass. Basket sets the Upgrade Block on the Hunting pedestal. It looks like a command block, and nothing announces anything. "I expected something to say a message."

A button nearby carries a sign that reads "DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON unless the upgrades are not working." It takes Basket to a room full of command blocks and redstone, and chat reads "Your game mode has been updated" twice. A sign there says to press a button to teleport back to the Nexus. "I guess the only way you're gonna know is if we start killing stuff."

Flames

Chat shows both of them teleporting to Little Empire. A creeper turns up in the woods. Soon an item labeled "Fire" lands in Basket's hotbar. "Oh, yep, I just got a flame, that's what worked."

They keep killing. "I have three now." "I also have three now." "Can I give you mine?" Back at a crafting table, Basket lays the Fire out in a boot shape and gets Chain Boots. "This fishing rod is gonna stay in this room until we have chain armor for days."

No one dies on screen. The sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 74 and BasketMC 52 and closes the same. Emerald blocks go from 2 to 3 of 16, and wools stay at 3 of 16.
