Archived Allowing Certain Mobs To Be Effected By Splash Potions Again.

[thor5648]

This thread is being made due to the recent change where mobs can no longer be effected by health potions... I assume this was another grand idea to "Fix" the economy, what it has resulted in is a drought in certain items... Particularly ghast tears. I spent 4 hours in trade chat asking to buy ghast tears, no one ever responded even when I offered a high price. I spent another 2 hours trying to farm ghast tears, the current most effective way. As a result I obtained a whole 3 ghast tears! If anything just renable it so ghasts can be health potted because right now it is not adding to the economy, it is just taking out if it a useful item.

To me, it just looks like you are lazy. (if you used the method i think you used at least)

i doubt you used the best way possible then, i can garantee you that i get at least double that amount of ghast tears in half the time.

What do healing mobs and ghast tears have anything to do with each other.

Not sure how? I used fishing and ghasts die sometimes without yielding any tears, they also almost never spawn even when you have a darkroom like I do inside a nether zone.

This is mainly directed at people who actually know what I am talking about @Gethelp

Also 6 tears in one hour is still not good, at times that is all I can physically play in one day with my schedule...

yea, you used the techique i tought you did.
if you can reach them with a fishing rod i'm fairly certain that, with a litle bit of efford, you can reach them with a sword too.
use lootingIII for your ghast tears.

This sounds like a bug. ill look in to it

Also in Ithania you cannot cure Villager Zombies yet in other worlds you can. Actually this may have been fixed I haven't tried in a while but Hell biomes are in Ithania and that's where Thors ghast farm is so could be a related issue.

@thor5648 I have no idea how you can end up with only 3 ghast tears in an hour. Within a few hours, I've been able to get a full stack of tears, and my fishing isn't even maxed. And this was still while I could not use health pots on ghasts.

Edit: I also feel that this "fix" would actually cut the value of ghast tears far more than would be helpful for the economy.

Sounds about right. @Gethelp you can lock this thread if it is just a bug.

It has always been like this, so ghast tears would just maintain their value.

If you have ever fished a ghast, it is way more efficient than killing it, so you aren't very qualified to be stating what is best.
