Getting Started

## Main Line Progression

##### Earlygame

First, you need to create an ender crafting table. This can be done with 2 iron and 2 cobblestone in your inventory crafting grid. The shape does not matter. This will show a knowledge book, grab it and the table will be placed where you are standing. You can craft all of the items on this wiki with that table. When you feel you are ready, try to take on a pillager raid. If you use a Villager Dummy and Potions of Ill Fate, farming raids can be very easy. The illagers might drop Raider's Instruments or a Raider Axe. It is a good idea to do as many raids as you can until you can craft Raider Armor, a Rapid Crossbow, a Raider Artifact and a Raider Axe.

##### Midgame

Once you have acquired some or all of these items, the next step in progression is the ender dragon. Killing it may drop Dragon's Instruments and dragon eggs, which can be used to craft the Dragon Dagger, Dragonstring Longbow, Dragonsteel Sword, Dragonsteel Pickaxe and Dragonscale Armor. The dragon will have to be killed multiple times in order to get enough resources to craft this gear. If the ender dragon has already been killed on your world, be sure to bring at least 4 end crystals to resummon it. The dragon will provide some of the best sets of armor and tools in the game but to get the best of the best you will have to kill the wither many times.

##### Endgame

Once you feel you are ready, take on the wither. While farming wither skeletons, be sure to use a Vorpal Broadsword or Vorpal Sword, as they will give much better chances at dropping a wither skeleton skull. Killing the wither will drop lots of good loot, including wither skeleton skulls and Demon's Instruments. These resources can be crafted into the best equipment in the game, the Demon Armor, Demonsteel Pickaxe, Demonstring Longbow, Demon Dagger and Demonsteel Sword. When you are done with the wither, you can start taking on the warden. It is easiest to use Warden Eggs to summon it. Kill wardens until you have enough Warden's Instruments to craft at least the Warden Soul, if not any other warden based items. (The others include the Hand of Glory and the Theif's Delight)

## Side Line Progression

##### Earlygame

There are many other items in FrenchVanilla than what are explained above, and those will be addressed here. In the earlygame Traveler Moccasins and the Lightweight Talisman can be paired for an unbeatable speed bonus, making travel much easier. The Miner Helmet is also quite useful throughout the entire game for lighting up caves, and can be easily accessed as soon as you go to the nether. The Life Talisman or Heavyweight Talisman can be used to achieve better survivability in the earlygame.

##### Midgame

In the midgame, the Tank Ring or the Life Ring can be utilized to achieve a tank build. The Lucky Clover does a great job of providing luck and making boss drops more plentiful. The Iron Fist will increase damage at the price of speed and the Haste Ring can provide haste 1. The Bandage gives insane healing and is great to use while running away from mobs or aggressive players.

##### Lategame

In the lategame, the Tank Artifact is the best bet for a tank build and the Rabbit's Foot will provide the best bonus for boss drops. Diver Armor is great for swimming/exploring underwater and can even be used as a form as transportation, as this set moves faster in water than you do running on land. If you have an elytra, the Space Boots are amazing for travel.

##### Endgame

In the lategame, the Pacifist Artifact will provide the best raw survivability, but lacks in usability, as you move quite slow and cannot deal damage. If this is a deal breaker for you, the Life Artifact will do a great job instead, giving you another whole row of hearts with no downsides. The Warden Soul is the best Accessory for raw damage, but can't bring you back from the dead like the Life Artifact. The Crown of the Gods will do you wonders in the endgame, being the best helmet by a longshot. This crown will give you a plethora of bonuses and has no downsides. For the best damage, it can be paired with the Assassin Armor. The assassin armor has negative defensive stats but the best offensive ones. When paired with the Crown of the Gods, it is the best set for damage in the game. All of the health bonuses of the crown counteract the bad defensive stats of the Assassin Armor, making it better than average for survivability.
