I have a new idea for 1.14 random seed speedruns. Steal the 8 gold blocks from an ocean monument and convert it into 72 ingots. Then find an igloo with a basement and trade with the villager for emeralds while curing the zombie one. The cured villager will become a cleric and give you discounts, allowing you to trade your gold for 36 pearls. Is it a good idea?

It is very unlikely, but possible.

@Zjcx LMAOOO BAITED

Sounds promising but very specific it would be tough to find an ocean monument as well as an igloo

Yeah T_Wag was testing this out. Pretty good strat, but ofc high seed-rng

Couldn't you do this without the igloo and just a normal cleric?

you could probably but the cleric would give you better trades since you cured it

exactly, it’ll give you discounts allowing you to get around 6x the pearls. also, the odds of monument+igloo is still greater than getting looting 3

But 6x pearls isn't necessary lol

oh good tactique but wait you need 36 pearls? lol more than 18 you couldnt need i guess good strat the monumentum idea anyways i feel like nobody would think about entering it lol maybe is worth just with a normal villager

good idea

This idea is new, and it isn’t really yours. Several RSG runners have already attempted monument strats for 1.14.4 and pulled it off successfully. You don’t actually need an igloo, just a regular village is enough to give you the required 12+ pearls.

You do need good seed luck though, to spawn near a monument with an igloo or village nearby. It’s just an alternative option from the classic strats.

yes, however, you need 2 monuments to get 12 pearls with a normal villager.

also, the extra 24 pearls can be used for traveling over land to the stronghold. pearls are one of the fastest ways to travel in the game.

weeeeeee strats are faster

well it takes a wile to cure a villiger

well it takes a wile to cure a villiger

it can take about 2m 45 at the lowest, and i beleive it can take all the way up to 4 - 5 min

In the meantime though, you could get emeralds from the other villager. you need them because gold is the cleric’s second tier trade

but 2m 45 -4-5 m takes a while tho @SprinkzMC

Wouldn't you get Mining Fatigue from the ocean monument @SprinkzMC ? Even if you brought a milk bucket, you will still need to kill all 3 of the Elder Guardians.
