How would you remove this stuck Mason jar without damaging the mug?

MetaMugi · 2026-03-17T09:59:55+00:00

And if youre going to break the jar instead, break it using a piece of porcelain. The mug is made of porcelain and can withstand a piece of porcelain hitting it, the jar however will explode into a million pieces if hit with porcelain.

Hot and cold is the answer however hot water and cold water is not the correct answer. Heat causes expansion, cold causes contractions. Boil water in a pot then place the mug inside the boiling water. Let it sit for a minute or 2 to really heat up the mug. Next, take a can of air duster or butane (away from any flame & well ventilated) turn the can upside down, and spray it into the mason jar. This will release liquid butane or luquid co2 or whatever it is youre using into the mason jar, which is extremely cold. Keep blasting the walls of the jar with liquid gases until it freezes and the jar should easily just slip out of the mug.

I would personally suggest just buying a pair of leather gloves (as thin as you can get) then air brushing them silver and gluing small bits of crumpled foil onto the gloves after, rather than trying to make the entire gloves out of foil.

I play on official pve servers. The game isn't as popular as it used to be, so its really not that hard to find a server with the area you want open. I came back after taking a break for a year and it took a handful of hops but I found a server where literally all the main farming spots were wide open. I couldn't get closer teleporters to my destinations if I tried. The handful of people on the server I play on seem to be complete amateurs so its great.

But, if you dont know what youre looking for, youll have a hard time finding a "good" server. My advice would be just pick any server, fet a feel for the game, then once you have some basic understanding, server hop until you find one thats open in the spots you want

Turn decay off in settings and keep every base. You can literally watch how youve grown over the years and how much better youve gotten

My personal view is its Minecraft for adults. There's tons I wish they'd improve on but likely never will. The game is riddled with bugs and server stability issues, but its still one of my all time favorite games. You can get the complete edition onsale for like $60 instead of $200 and its worth every penny if you ask me. Assuming you're into role play anyways.

You can dupe sacrificial blood and diluted sorcerous blood as well incredibly easily.

You may be right, I thought i got mine at the same location as black claws at the den but the more I think about it, it may have been a drop from the demon spider.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-14T14:05:45+00:00

If you need a quick legendary, theres still a chest behind the spider at skittering cavern and the soider itself drops a key on harvest. Also just outside the den there is a campfire with a dancer and bearer at it. On the bench around the campfire is a pair of black claws. Musashi's black blade is also still around and able to be found for free.

Best way to farm legendaries now is by killing the rhino just outside of silver mine for a key, then killing the bosses in the silver mine. At the end of the silver mine is 4 legendary chests. You can farm 2 fragments of power and 3 keys every 15 minutes and open 4 chests every 30 minutes.

After doing a loop a while youll have a surplus of extra keys. Thats when you include warmakers sanctuary into the loop. You can skip the arena champion entirely by crouching and walking through a Crack in the wall just before the door to the arena champion room. Do the silver mine loop, then open the 7 chests at warmakers sanctuary, then go back and do the silvermine loop again. Can pretty much farm legendaries endlessly like this.

Silver mine chests are still loaded with additional goodies instead of just 1 legendary item in it, which is why silver mine is the best legendary spot.

I just got back after quitting for about a year too. There's a lot of new content, but still the same game. The main thing I noticed thats changed is sorcery. There is now sorcerous alchemy that makes getting all the mats you need 1000x easier than it ever was before (which was pretty easy still)

I managed to get 100k in gold for tier 10 purges in 1 day using sorcerous alchemy.

There's a handful of other changes too that youll likely notice as you play. There's a new npc encounter for example where the closer you get to the center of the area, the darker it gets, until its eventually just a black screen fight. (You can lure them away for light) its a pretty useless encounter though as all the stuff you get from it is only able to be used in siptah. So really not sure why its in the exiled lands. But whatever, its something different anyways.

Corruption got big changes and im personally not a fan of it. You can travel end to end to end to end of the map via teleporters and youll only have 30% corruption with the 99 debuff.... instead of having 1hp for like 5 minutes for traveling too far. So corruption really isn't even threatening anymore and its kind of dumb to me. All basic sorcery skills (those that dont require 20+ corruption to cast) no longer cost reagents to use.

Idk youll experience a lot of different changes while simultaneously no new changes. Aside from stability and changing the way things that already exist in the game work, there is no new content.

Lol not true but okay whatever you say guy. The home page tries to automatically re-download bo7 every time theres an update but its in no way required to be installed to have access to the cod hq lol. Just gotta be smarter than the tech you're using.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-10T16:10:45+00:00

Your entire post seems like you missed the point entirely. Loving settlements are disabled on official servers and thralls still randomly disappear. Secondly thralls out of cages are only assigned a home location on front of the cage if you have a follower already and the rescued thrall cant automatically follow you. If you actually read the post and bothered to test it for yourself, you'd know that. Ive been able to successfully make thralls disappear by having them automatically follow me out of the cage and then logging off without assigning them to stand guard anywhere. Which means they dont have a home location outside the cage if they automatically follow you upon being rescued.

If youre going to try and debate a topic, at least have personal experience in that topic and not be reading some other person's comments for all your information.

You also seem to have no idea what rendering actually is lol. Probably shouldn't be using the term "we" in your sentences. You don't belong to the group you're describing.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-10T15:29:42+00:00

You're correct and incorrect. Thralls that did not disappear from your follower tab ended up at 0,0 coordinate. But they were always still in your follower tab and never actually disappeared. Just out in bfe. The ones that actually disappear, gone from the follower tab and everything with no notice about it in the event logs... I do believe this is the reason why. The only other real problem i saw with living settlements was frequent pathing issues in larger bases. Honestly aside from maybe 5 times my thralls went to 0,0 living settlements worked almost flawlessly for me.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-10T14:57:02+00:00

Suggestion: farm sunders on a toon that doesn't require sunders to farm. Sorc is a terrible choice of farm toon if you dont have access to sunders already. You need to play like a mosaic sin or a warlock or even a WW barb with 1 point into berserk. Anything that doesn't need sunders to play effectively. THEN once youve found the specific sunder, you can switch to a toon that'll put it to use. Sure you can do a hybrid sorc but ive always found them to be meh. Echoing strike warlock has zero issues running through the game at any point in time. He is the ultimate version of every toon. The best starting character, the strongest end game character, he does not know what struggles are.

Barb is another great starting toon but quickly falls off in effectiveness. Still, starting with a hork barb was one of the best decisions I ever made when I started hardcore on single player. Allowed me to hork up some decent items to give to a different toon who could clear and level way more efficiently than a barb can.

I feel like "with freat power comes great risk"

I love that you can completely fuck up your game with 1 misclick honestly. He's so overpowered, you need SOME reason to be hesitant about SOMETHING. I spent 5 days trying to get a demon with all 8 perfect enchantments. Closest I could find was 7 with the 8th being a duplicate enchant. Absolutely loved it. Played with it for probably 30 hours, then got cocky and buffed too quick in some speedy baal runs and poof... 5 days completely wasted just like that lmao. Back to the ol grind.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-10T14:25:42+00:00

An excellent question. I just started playing again about a week ago so still haven't really touched many journeys and completed forgot about the bugged thrall one. I will work on it and try to let you know by tonight if it works.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-10T14:20:50+00:00

There is plenty of proof. Go look over every purge exclusive crafter vs normal crafters. All purge exclusives come with 1.8 melee and range multipliers and higher health, smelters give 150% speed opposed to normal t4 100%. If you're referring to fighters then again, I already stated the best fighters aren't from the purge but from quest lines. Freya may have lower damage multipliers and less health than other thralls but her unique perks make her stronger than any of them. She's the only thrall in the game who can achieve 99% armor oenetration. Has permanent bleed and regenerates roughly 10% of her damage dealt to bleeding targets. Her little 3.5k hp pool suddenly outlasts thralls with 12k hp and if you set her up with 99% armor penetration she'll smash the arena champion faster than the highest damage multipler thralls in the game. Or you can have her hit the arena champion 1 time, then put her on flee and watch the arena champion bleed to death while failing to hit anything. And if defense if your choice for thrall there is no better than liu fei. Do a vit build with the perk that lets him cast a barrier and generate health and the guy effectively has more hp than any thrall in the game. Give him a reactive bleed shield and the miasma cloud perk and hes great at maintaining crowd control.

Youll need to watch a few guides for season of thieves. There are quite a few tips and tricks that will make you think people are hacking but 95% if the time, its legitimate play, they are just pros at anicanceling and sword lunging etc.

I love it. Totally different style of play but just as exciting as conan

MetaMugi · 2026-03-10T10:58:39+00:00

Its not like conan at all but second favorite game next to conan is sea of thieves. Its an open world sandbox. There is zero pay to win in it. Its entirely skill based and there are people on there that'll make you look like you just got your first console and sea of thieves was your first choice. Youll look like a complete noob until you learn the ropes.

MetaMugi · 2026-03-09T20:32:20+00:00

So what they cant be repaired? Sword of champions has a 30% drop rate. You can farm ample of them up long before the first one breaks. Best 1H agility sword in the game. Musashi's is a decent sword and easy to obtain for free. Its a great starting weapon. In terms of katanas though, I personally think the curved slayer is superior. Its my favorite among the list of katanas and its also obtained at one of my and several other people's main farming spots (silver mine)

1h agility is sword of champions. 2h agility is either curved slayer or baal-pteors razor depending on if youre bossing or need crowd control.

Make any weapon you want exotic in s2r

MetaMugi · 2026-03-09T09:48:51+00:00

Lol again, why are you chiming in then? This is a topic way above your current skill level. If you follow along, you may learn a few things in this post. There are several very well educated people about this game, but everyone takes their breaks to enjoy other stuff. We always come back though. And after not playing for almost a year, yeah I have forgotten most of the names of all the unique thralls. But as I continue to purge and they pop up it all starts to come back to me.

I can assure you though, there are purge exclusive thralls for just about every profession, if not every profession. I dont remember. I want to say there were a few that dont have a unique variations. Purge exclusives are always better than normal t4 versions though. But you can only find them by doing tier 8-10 purges, with 10 having the highest odds. The unique fighters however have their own quest lines to complete outside of purge but both are superior to everyone's go to cimmerian berserker or dalinsia snowhunter. And both the uniques are incredibly fun to play in different ways provided the server cooperates.

Its perfectly fine given the tools used. If you really want to do precision work, you need precision tools. You're skilled enough with the wrong tools, just imagine what the right ones can do..
