Radu526's tips of looting corn(BONUS: Armor ratings)

[Radu526]

Hey guys, Radu526 here and today I'm bringing you some tips on what to loot from corn when the game beggins. I will list the items in 3 tiers and also I will type what to do when you go to corn.

PART 1 Items you need to look for in the chests:
Tier 1: Food below 4 hunger regen(ex: cooked fish/chicken), low protection armor pieces(ex: chain/gold helmets/boots) and other miscellanous stuff(ex: feathers, strings)

Tier 2: Food of 4 hunger regen(ex: steak, cooked porkchops, mushroom stew) or cake, high protection armor pieces(gold/chain chestplate/leggings or iron helmet/boots) and miscellanous(ex:sticks, iron ingots, gold ingots)

Tier 3: Stone sword, diamond, golden apple and top protection armor pieces(ex: iron chesplate/leggings)




PART 2 How to loot spawn:
When you open a chest in corn at the beggining of the game, you got one micro-second to see something good and try to loot it. When you open chests in corn don't go for the best item in the chest first(unless it's a diamond or a sword) as the other guy will try and get that item too. Get the 2nd best item in the chest and the chances you get will be higher than getting the best item.
If the chest you opened had a stone sword in it and you didn't get it...............RUN LIKE HELL IS BEHIND YOU




PART 3(bonus) Armor ratings(most pros know them but this thread is for new peeps )

Ratings are: Helmet-Leather= half a point
-Chain/Gold/Iron=1 point
-Diamond=1 and a half points

Chestplate-Leather=1 and a half points
-Chain/Gold=2 and a half points
-Iron=3 points(best armor piece that can be found in chests)
-Diamond=4 points(best armor piece in the game but craftable only)

Leggings-Leather=1 point
-Gold=1 and a half points
-Chain=2 points
-Iron=2 and a half points
-Diamond=3 points

Boots-Leather/Gold/Chain=half a point
-Iron=1 point
-Diamond=1 and a half points


I hope my tips were usefull and remember: CAKE>DIAMOND SWORD

Im almost positive you can't cant sticks in tier 2s...But you know, clocks and coompasses are really useful...

Well sticks are very useful if you get 2 irons or 2 diamonds right off the beggining but yea, i forgot how clocks and compasses can help new players D:

string, sticks cannot be found in tier 2 chests, and compasses can be useful if you do not know the map.

I would add shift clicking, when I started playing I didn't know that you could get items faster that way.

Good guide, I am impressed that all of your armor ratings are correct, most players make mistakes.

For the tiers, he was not referring to different tier chests. He was referring to how useful and item is and items that you should prioritize.

But the title says corn, so therefore tier 2

I love how there are so few people that can calculate how many armour points someone else has I've always been proud of my ability to do so.
