Ancient Forkways gives you 2 distinct pathways to upgrading your netherite armour, fulfilling the need to have an armour that goes one step above the rest for packs that give you the harshest of challenges.
These paths are
Meteoric - The Turtle
An armour set with massive durability that gives you a health boost & resistance, allowing you to tank hits, while still dealing decent damage.
Tenebric - The Rabbit
An armour set with less durability than diamond, but gives you more options to move around & flank opponents with increased speed & attack power.
Both armours are good in practically every situation (they are both still better than Netherite after all), But each with their own pros and limited cons that can define how you approach situations.
The Knowledge of making these materials has been largely lost to time, however that does not necessarily mean that the materials withered alongside the ancients who used it. Perhaps its possible to make a crude version of those godlike materials by harvesting what remains from those slain in battle eons ago. And the question remains, Are you team pink or team blue?
