What the author says
This mod adds 35 NEW ores, and 11 NEW Advancements. I'd say mine around y level 0 for best results. Use Jei, and Look at Armor Prot, or Sword Damage. There, you can compare teirs. I'm sorry, but it is very difficult to list the tiers here. I do have the original paper list in gallery.
