Hermitcraft 10: Episode 7 – THE NEGOTIATION

Hermitcraft 10: Episode 7 – THE NEGOTIATION

Welcome back to the next episode of Hermitcraft. You know, I probably don’t need to be quite as tired anymore because I have officially got my mending book. If you didn’t see the last few seconds of episode 6 then I’ll just replay a very short version of me getting this mending book.

It was very real, it was very- I was unprepared and it was quite funny. Oh! No way! Nooo way! I was re- ahh! I was recording! Ohhh! Right, so I’ve got my mending book that means that the chamber of Sea Critters really isn’t needed that much.

I mean, it was fun while it lasted but it does mean that I can- Oh maybe I’m in the wrong place. No here it is! We can open this up at some point. Look there we go, here’s the Chamber of Sea Critters. Oh wow, it’s right here.

So we can open this up now and when Cleo gets online she’s agreed to make a little statue there and I’m gonna have a little statue of me holding the book and then I’ve opened this up so that we can create a pond that goes right here.

That was always the plan, I did think a lot of this through. So that’s something that we can do a little later on but we’ve got something that we desperately need to do because Mumbo is on. Now since the permits have been released a ton of trading has gone on

And Mumbo, although he didn’t have the prismarine permit to begin with, he now has it because Cub did a trade with him. So we are gonna try and see if Mumbo is interested in our lovely iron permit. I think it’s a pretty fair trade one to one

And we’ll go and see if he can- He wants to negotiate and then we got a ton of stuff that we need to do this episode including bureaucracy. I’ll explain later. Mumbo! Oh he’s there. Hello Mumbo. [MUMBO] Hello. Hello! [GRIAN] Have you got a horse hole somewhere? [GRIAN] Ah! Horse hole.

[MUMBO] Horse hole? [GRIAN] They run away! [MUMBO] That was smooth! [GRIAN] I’ve got a proposition for you if you’re interested. [MUMBO] Very much so. [GRIAN] Got barrel here and if you take a look inside there, this is my prize permit iron and gold [MUMBO] That is quite a mean permit.

[GRIAN] A little birdy called Cub told me that you are now in procession of the prismarine one and you know, me and the ocean, we’re kind of close so I am- [MUMBO] Yeah, I can smell. [GRIAN] – interested, I’m mildly interested in the prismarine one if you want to make a trade.

[MUMBO] Mildly interested. Mm. [GRIAN] I’ve messed up, haven’t I? [MUMBO] And you’re- [laughs] – mildly interested. That’s curious. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] Looking like that you look like that you’re mildly interested. You look like you are the ocean I feel like- [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] I mean, iron and gold is alright, you know?

But look, look I mean that’s- I don’t know why I’ve got these in my inventory right now and I guess that just shows that I could sell it. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO laughs] Honestly, I don’t know why I did that. That was just the weirdest flex I think I’ve ever done. [laughs]

[GRIAN] No, I’m not gonna accept the iron and gold for nine gold blocks. [laughs] [MUMBO laughs] Nine gold blocks. [GRIAN] It makes no sense! [MUMBO] Can I interest you in four chests? Proceed. [GRIAN] Here, I’ll throw in some cod. [MUMBO] Oh oh okay yeah, you probably got lots of that.

I’m just trying to think like if I had- If I had like an accountant sitting next to me right now, yeah? Imagine like- They basically look like me. Suited and booted and everything like that. Er… What would they think? [GRIAN] They’d think it’s a great deal. Fine deal, perfect deal.

[MUMBO] [laughs] Especially all the fish. Ehm I mean… Er… I think prismarine seems like it could be slightly more profitable because I feel like the number of people willing to make a prismarine farm. [GRIAN] Never send me to negotiate anything. Right, I’ll be right back. I’m not- I’ve just figured-

I’ve just learned something about myself, I’m not a great negotiator. We better pick up some stuff and see if we can get the prismarine. Doesn’t sound like he’s gonna- He’s gonna squeeze me for all I’ve got. I’ve scoured my base. Let’s do this again but let’s be reasonable now. [MUMBO laughs]

I’m liking the aesthetics of the barrel, by the way. It very much fits your vibe of fisherman. [MUMBO] You like turn up with a barrel prepared. [GRIAN] We don’t need chests around here. [GRIAN] Barrels! Right look listen, I’ve got a few things that I can offer you on top of this

That might just sweeten the deal. Alright look. Mmm? Yeah? Look at that! [MUMBO] Yeah yeah. [GRIAN] A saddle. [MUMBO] Yeah, I’m liking the look of it. [MUMBO] A saddle is cool. [GRIAN] I could decorate it even further. [MUMBO] Ooo! [GRIAN] Check that out! How does that look? [MUMBO] I mean, it’s nice.

Like the colour theory is good. I like it. I like the symmetry. It’s looking pretty good. [GRIAN] Yeah. [GRIAN] We got a deal? [MUMBO] But [MUMBO] I’m gonna be honest with you mate, I still feel like I could probably make more diamonds than this [GRIAN sighs] [MUMBO] by having the prismarine one.

Like it’s just straight economics, right? You know I got to think- How do you think I get a suit this good? How do you think I get my moustache this close to my face? [GRIAN] Well it’s fine, I’m only- I mean, I could just- I’ll leave it then. [MUMBO] Yeah.

[laughs] It’s a good technique. Yeah yeah, you get on your horse- [GRIAN] Google lied, it said if I walked away, you’d- [laughs] [MUMBO laughs] You think I’m gonna chase after you? No no no, you keep- You keep walking, you’ve left your horse in the horse hole

So I know that you’re not backing out of this deal, you know. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] That’s the equivalent of leaving a car dealership on foot leaving your car in the car park. [laughs] I’d be fairly confident that you’re returning. [GRIAN] Oh fine, fine, fine, fine. [MUMBO] Okay, okay. [GRIAN] More copper.

More copper, there’s that saddle. [MUMBO] That’s looking good. [GRIAN] Right, even more copper. Fish heads. Elder guardian, cod head, fish. [MUMBO] Fish. [laughs] [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] Good but the deal fundamentally hasn’t gotten that much better. [GRIAN laughs] Well, let me tell you. Are you interested in- Oo! – Two campfires. Campfires!

Someone’s gonna buy at least one of those. [MUMBO] [laughs] Yeah yeah. I mean look. [GRIAN] Because of you. There we go, look at that. Two irons. [MUMBO] Leads and bundles is actually pretty good because I do have- I’ve got a slime farm, I can make leads so that’s kind of cool. Bundles

I don’t know how much people are gonna be using those [MUMBO] to be honest with you. [GRIAN] You might sell none. [MUMBO] I might sell none. [GRIAN] Maybe one. [GRIAN] Wait I’m not se- You’ll sell tons. People want bundles. They’re big on bundles. [MUMBO] Sorry mate. [sighs] I feel bad.

I do feel a bit bad. But I feel like there’s got to be something more. [GRIAN] Come on! [laughs] Ah! How many diamonds do I need to put around this? [MUMBO] There’s a lot. That is good but [GRIAN] Let me see your permit, let me see the goods.

Let me see the prismarine, let me verify. [MUMBO] Okay yeah, you need a verification. You’re gonna get your- [GRIAN] How do you get up? [MUMBO] Yeah just give me a second, it’s gonna take me- [GRIAN] What do you mean? Can I not go up? [MUMBO] Er… no unfortunately not.

I mean, I’ll have to come down with it. I mean you could if you- Yeah if you’re smart enough but I wouldn’t drop down to where I’m about to go. [GRIAN] [laughs] What? [MUMBO] I mean this is just- It’s part of the process Grian.

[GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] It’s part of the process. [GRIAN] What am I even looking at? [MUMBO] My llama missed, hang on! Get better aim! There we go. [GRIAN] It’s llama spit. [MUMBO] Yeah. [GRIAN] How- What? Walked into the- Wait, I saw this before! [MUMBO laughs] [GRIAN] Wait what? [MUMBO] It’s the only way.

[GRIAN] How did you make it say “the danger zone”? [MUMBO] Oh it’s if a llama spits on you and then you die to magma blocks. That is- [GRIAN] The danger zone. [MUMBO] Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous. [GRIAN] I’ve never seen- Okay. [MUMBO] [laughs] [GRIAN] You’re just blowing my mind. Fine.

All the ice. All the ice! [MUMBO] All the ice is good but I’m gonna be getting iced out with- [GRIAN] Just take them all then! Just take them all. Here take my mending book! [MUMBO laughs] Wait. THE mending book? You got to be joking. [GRIAN] Yeah. [MUMBO] I couldn’t. [GRIAN] Actually maybe not.

[MUMBO] I couldn’t. I’ve gone too far. I’ve gone too far. I’ve gone too far. I’ve gone too far. [GRIAN] I don’t like this anymore, I don’t like this. I don’t want it that badly. I just realised, I think the mending book send me over the edge.

No I can’t, I can’t part with it. [MUMBO] Look I’ll be honest. I do just want your iron and gold book I just want it. I’ll just do a one to one trade. I just wanted to see how far you’d go.

I thought I could get some extra diamonds out of the deal. I pushed it way too far. [MUMBO] Now I feel bad. [GRIAN] I don’t even wanna do this deal anymore. [MUMBO] Are you joking? [GRIAN] I don’t even want to do this deal. I’m out. No I’m out. I’m done.

[MUMBO] Oh mate. Oh. [GRIAN] Genuinely putting that mending book in that barrel made me really upset. I don’t wanna- [laughs] I don’t wanna give that away. Unfortunately for me that mending book represents quite a lot of my life. You know what? I’m gonna have to fish to get some-

Get some sanity back. You never know, I might actually get another mending book. I’ve been fishing all night and I haven’t got- [woosh] [GRIAN] Ey? That was weird. Before we go and investigate. Oh. Oh I’ve seem to have- I seem to have hooked myself. Before we go and investigate

I want to show you what’s been going on over here. So I have done a little bit of work to my base. Now it’s just some rudimentary dirt plans. This is what we do before we want to build. See if it looks good. So here, take a look at this.

This is obviously our starter base. Now before I continue any further than this we are going to tackle the interior. I haven’t really done anything here but it shouldn’t take long to throw something together. Now down here is going to be the way I get back up

And I’m going to put my portal right here because Etho told me to basically. But yeah, this is what I’m gonna do. This is where the next building is going to go and this is where I think I’m gonna shift my sheep farm to. This is my job today.

We are going to finish off the horse tunnel. It actually seems to be ageing really well in here like it’s almost fully fully aged. I don’t know whether we want it entirely oxidised but I’m actually thinking of bringing this down a block. We’ll talk about that later. Let’s go and investigate.

What have we got? Uh. Oooh. That’s not mine. Well, since that’s not for me why don’t we actually do more I was just talking about which is work on the horse tunnel. Now what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna make this bottom section completely black

So that it looks like it’s really deep, add some water, add a walkway, bring this down, do some tidying up and then we’ll leave the entrance and the exit because I really need to consult with Gem because we got two different things going on here and we need to co-ordinate

What this is gonna do but we can finish the main tunnel. I’ve got my concrete powder, I’ve got a couple of hours spare so let’s go! [MUSIC] Alright, we’ve got ourselves one middle section finished of a tunnel. Now I’ve spoken to Gem and we figured that the best way

To deal with this really long staircase is actually to do a drop and then a bubble elevator up with your horse. Turns out that it won’t kick you off your horse if there’s bubbles. I don’t know why but that’s what happens. So we’re thinking you have one hole to drop down

And then behind it you just go in and you pop straight up the other end and then all we got to do is decorate it. Now obviously at the moment it’s not finished oxidising and it’s slowly getting there but I’m pretty happy with this. It certainly beats trying to get your horse

All the way round the long way. Infrastructure like this is pretty useful. In my never ending struggle to finish a project before I start another I have made an effort over here to open up the area where the Chamber of Sea Critters is. You can see here, there’s the chair, there’s the painting

But I need to get this water placed so I’ve got a really nice pond here and that involves either using ice which I don’t have or placing a layer of stone and then removing it once the water is in place. Both of which is a lengthy task. Then once I’ve done this project

I can move on to doing some interior I’m really trying to force myself not to leave things unfinished because it’s convenient and that’s really tough because I love leaving unfinished projects. So let’s get this done, get the water in and get this pond made. A fairly quick job but this

Is looking pretty cool. So you can see into the chamber down here. You can see the painting which we need to move back to what it originally was but I kind of like the fact that you can see this thing now in the dome. There is a slight problem with the bees.

You see, bees are pretty dumb and they keep just bouncing on the water and dying so I’ve I basically have to keep breeding them up. It’s a bit of a shame that bees are dumb dumbs like that because it would be nice if they could stay near any body of water and

Not do that. So our pond here is done. That is one of the things checked off the list Now let’s go and tackle this interior really quickly. Honestly shouldn’t take that long. I’ve just got to fill in a few things. So let’s grab some various blue blocks

And something we need to do according to the postmen is that I need to put my portal upwards. If you didn’t know, this season Tango, Etho and Pearl they’re creating a mailbox system which means we can send anyone a shulker full of anything and it will go through the nether

And come out the other side but one of the problems is low portals are causing an issue so we got to move them up. I don’t really understand it, I don’t have to I just have to do what papa Etho tells me to do. We’ve got a little bit of work to do.

We got a little bit of work to do for the interior but as you can see it’s not a huge space that needs decorating. We just need to change up a few of these blocks. Right so for now I’m just gonna seal off that top section because there’s no use to it yet.

Right, so we got a roof in now. I’ve got some decisions to make. I can either fill in this wall completely or I can try and do something clever with trapdoors just to give them a frame without having to put a whole interior in

And that does give me a little cubbyhole for one of my chests. I’m totally just winging this interior at the moment with various trapdoors but I think that’s okay because I came to a very real realisation about why I don’t like doing or generally just even bother doing interiors

And the reason is I’m an outdoor cat. I don’t do interiors because I spend so little time indoors, I pretty much the whole season so far have spent my time here. So I came to the realisation that because I spend so much time ground level these buildings up here,

I get to enjoy them more standing here than I do from the inside. So this is where I think most of my farms are gonna go and maybe one of utility stuff such as the enchanting table which goes here. But for the most part I don’t want to have some fancy interior.

This is gonna be a kelp farm for example. Most of my living space needs to be down here on ground floor. The interior is basically just me trying to make it look mildly presentable. Right, let’s light this up. The room is nothing special. I know that, it’s a little bit busy

But what you have to remember is this is just an enchanting room and also I don’t care. Okay, that is the interior for this room. I’m done but you’re probably wondering where’s my enchanting table actually gone? This is an interior for another day I think.

I’ve still got a few things to figure out. One step at a time but that is all nice and tidy and finished up. You’re probably wondering though where is that enchanting table? Well I made an investment. Well it was a pretty poor investment if you ask me. I might have traded it

For these little enchanting tables. There was a wandering trader so for the moment I don’t actually have an enchanting table. I have no obsidian so I can’t make a new one right now so this will have to do. [laughs] Right, we’re done here for now. That is another job for another day

But I’m happy enough with this interior that I can move on. Now that I’ve done those three things. Horse tunnel, pond, interior. I can hop on Pluto because we are going to go and lay something out. And it involves our permits. And we’re gonna head over to the shopping district-

[MUMBO] Oh yes! [GRIAN] Hello Mumbo. [MUMBO] Hello. [MUMBO] Hello Grian! How’s it going? [GRIAN] Good. [MUMBO] How are you? [GRIAN] Working on a permit office. [MUMBO] What for like trading of permits and things? Are you interested in any trading of permits or anything like that?

[GRIAN] More to fix some of the mistakes I made when I wrote the list. [MUMBO] Ah. [laughs] [GRIAN laughs] [GRIAN] It’s not as glamorous as all that. [MUMBO laughs] Well. Look. See? I’ve got a barrel as well. [MUMBO] Yeah, I can do barrelling. [GRIAN] The negotiator. [MUMBO] Do you remember this?

Is that still- [GRIAN] I remember it. [MUMBO] Is that still on your mind? [MUMBO] Is that still on your mind in terms of trades and things like that? You know, I know we had like that jokey back and forth and everything and I was like bumping up your price a little bit.

[GRIAN] I almost gave you my mending book. [MUMBO] You almost did, yeah. [GRIAN] That really [GRIAN] genuinely kinda hit my soul. I just started questioning how much I wanted it and I was like, no I want the mending book more

And it kind of, I don’t know, put me off a little bit. [MUMBO] Right, so you don’t want it? Is what you’re saying? [GRIAN] I’d still take it off your hands but more for like this? [MUMBO laughs] At least it was two stacks. You know, one stack would’ve been insulting

But two stacks. [GRIAN] Oh I feel I’m being generous now. [MUMBO] Look okay, I really, really want your iron and gold. [GRIAN] Why didn’t you just take it then?! [MUMBO] Because I just- I thought I could get like a little bit more out of you

But then you seemed to really want it [MUMBO] and I was like I might go really far. [GRIAN laughs] [GRIAN] I really sucked at negotiating there. I mildly want this. Mildly? [MUMBO] Okay, how about this? Okay, I’ll throw the saddle in. [GRIAN] [laughs] Is that the saddle I gave you?!

[MUMBO] No I don’t think so! Did I pick it up? I could’ve done. Maybe. I don’t know, what about- look! This. Put a little hat on it. [GRIAN] [laughs] A little hat on it. [MUMBO] Yeah? Yeah? Give you some two sides on either side. [GRIAN] I’m liking the way this is shaping up.

[MUMBO] Really throw in wart blocks. [GRIAN] Ew. Who- Ew. [MUMBO] Okay. [GRIAN laughs] Who’s buying wart blocks? [MUMBO laughs] It’s a good question Grian. Thought I could get rid of that one easily. What if also- [GRIAN] I mean if you genuinely want to get rid of the wart blocks I would-

I would take that. [MUMBO] Oh oh! That is yours! Oh okay, I was gonna say, this is all matching up nicely. I mean… Yeah I have no use for wart blocks. [GRIAN] If you don’t want it, I’ll make that deal. [MUMBO] So wart blocks for iron and gold?

I can keep the prismarine? [GRIAN] No! No! [MUMBO laughs] [GRIAN] I’m taking the- It’s done, the deal is done. [GRIAN] The deal is done. [MUMBO] The deal is done? [GRIAN] The deal is done. Take the iron and gold and I’ll tell you what I’ll give you some copper as well.

We always need copper. [MUMBO] I thought you said give me some copper. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] No you can’t do that after the deal is finished. [GRIAN] There we go, let’s make this official. [MUMBO] That is official, it’s been signed. [GRIAN] There we go, signed. Done. Ah thanks Mumbo! This is wicked!

[MUMBO] I can’t believe it! [GRIAN] I can’t believe- You could’ve taken everything I had and somehow it’s- [MUMBO] I know. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] I could cry. I could actually cry. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] And you have a better moustache than me. This is a terrible- This has been a terrible experience. [GRIAN] Oh no.

Look why don’t we- We could share the wart blocks if you want. [MUMBO] Yeah okay. [GRIAN] You want to team up and sell wart together? [laughs] [MUMBO] [laughs] Yeah. This is gonna be- We’re gonna make a wart monopoly. [GRIAN] We’re gonna share that one diamond between us so hard.

Alright, I’ll add- When the permit office is open I’m gonna add a detail on the wart blocks that says it’s co-owned by the two of us. [MUMBO] Perfection, perfection. [GRIAN] We’re gonna share the wart block. [MUMBO] Yes! [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] Back in business buddy! [GRIAN] Yeah forget mega shops and corporations.

We’re going all in on warts. [MUMBO] I’ll tell you what, it would be amazing [MUMBO] to make the biggest [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] just like obscene wart shop in the world. [GRIAN laughs] You know, we’ve been on this server a long time. I’m not sure I’ve ever bought wart or seen wart’s been sold.

[MUMBO] No, no. but you best believe our shop is gonna be the most magnificent, most complicated, most incredible mega build. [GRIAN] This might be the stupidest thing that’s ever happened but I’m really happy it has. Okay, yeah I feel better. You feel good about the deal? [MUMBO] I’m feeling good. I’m feeling good.

It’s a pleasure, it’s a pleasure. My pockets feel a little bit lighter but I think that’s a good thing and I’m excited for the future. [GRIAN] There was a little bit of editing magic that just happened there because that Mumbo clip happened a while ago but now I’m ready to announce

That Mumbo and I did trade for prismarine and for some reason we’ve ended up collaborating on a wart block shop so I don’t know why that’s happened but we’re gonna share that particular permit. Anyway, now that that’s out the way we- I actually wanna say yay. I will warn you right now

That we are just gonna lay it out and talk about what it is because I don’t have time to make it today. So over here is- Oh my goodness – a lot of stuff that I’m not sure what’s going on. Is that scaffolding? Are these shops? Oh they are!

People have been putting up shops already. See, this is the reason we’re here. People are putting up shops, they’ve got their permits on display. People are already selling what they have permits for. Now what we’re going to be making is the permit office which actually maybe could just be right here.

Right here. This is a space familiar to me because this is where we had the shuffler and this is where False met her demise so we could leave this here and do the building right there. I’ll leave this here because it’s a bit of history but this is a great spot

For where the permit office is gonna be. So what’s the permit office? Well, the permit office is an opportunity for me to fix, introduce, exchange, all sorts of things anything to do with permits. Hey, can I get this new permit that doesn’t exist? Yes you can, please fill out form MJYA-AFK

And then you too can have this permit for this specific thing that doesn’t exist. I will admit, there’s only a few things that aren’t really permits like end stone. Things that have never been sold on Hermitcraft and probably would never sell anyway but anyway, there’s a few people that already need their permits

Editing or clarifying or whatever it might be. So my job or my second job after fishing is going to be looking after people’s permits and I guess we’ll also have to head up the enforcement team. I don’t actually wanna do any of the enforcements. In fact, I’m going to create this permit office

And give it such a terrible reputation that no one will ever want to edit any permit with me at all. There’ll be so much bureaucracy that they won’t ever want to have to deal with me. So this is where the permit office is going to be. In- Ooooh. [laughs] I just zoomed out.

[laughs] Someone’s already claimed this space. How did I not notice? It’s just because it was a path block. Uh-oh. Well, we’ll find a new spot for the permit office and we’ll get cracking on that next episode because there’s already people contacting me about it, I’ve got to get a move on

And get this building made but it turns out I might need to talk to people about what on earth this has been claimed for. So that’s it for today’s episode. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. We did do a little bit of chorey type stuff trying to finish up some projects

But for the most part I had a good time and most importantly we got ourselves that prismarine permit which is what we wanted. So I shall see you in the next episode where we are going to do everyone’s favourite thing bureaucracy! Good-bye!

Hermitcraft 10: Episode 7 – THE NEGOTIATION – Grian wants the permit for prismarine, but didn’t do research on how to negotiate on hermitcraft.
