Farming Pumpkins and Sugarcane Guide – Hypixel Skyblock

Want an early-game way to make some quick money on Hypixel Skyblock? Well you’re in luck. Today, we’ll be showing you how we farm pumpkins and sugarcane in Hypixel Skyblock.

Why Farm At All?

Well, there are a few reasons for why we should farm.

First, farming is a way for you to get Farming XP. Getting additional farming levels will increase your base HP. You can also level up the Farmhand skill, which allows you to get additional drops from every harvest.

One level in farming equates to one level in farmhand.

Every level of farmhand will increase your chance of getting double drops. At farming I, you have a 4% chance of getting double drops. This increases by 4% for every farmhand level. At level XV (25), you have a 100% chance of getting double drops. At level 26, you have a 100% chance to get a second drop, but you now also have a 4% chance to get a triple drop. So, by farming L (50), you have a 100% chance to get triple drops. Pretty cool right?

Another reason you should level up your farming a bit is to get extra HP. Here is an HP increasing table:

Farming Level HP Gained on Level Up
I – XIV (1 – 14) +2
XV – XIX (15 – 19) +3
XX – XXV (20 – 25) +4
XXVI – L (26 – 50) +5

In total, you can get an extra 192 health from leveling up farming. Not bad.

Farming also is a decent way to earn money other than farming for Summoning Eyes.

What’s next for Fire Emblem Heroes?

by

It’s near the end of May already. So, what’s new with Fire Emblem Heroes? And what’s next? In March, Intelligent System introduced the compile manual. Now, we know how they exactly work. I’d say they are mediocre. It’s not really worth the effort trying to get them. Regular divine codes come at a very very low rate. It takes many months to complete a normal path. The path is not repeatable; it’s one and done. The limited compile manual is also not really appealing. IS decided to not give enough resource to get all of them. There are 2 heroes that cost 300 codes each and 5 heroes that cost 100 codes each. It requires 1,100 divine codes to get all of the limited compile manual. In March, IS only gave out 750 codes. So, we have to choose which heroes to get. By April, those heroes are gone and replaced with different heroes. In April, IS gave even less codes, only 650 codes. So, in April, I only get 2 heroes that cost 300 codes each. Now in May, so far IS only gave out 290 codes. Who knows if we’re going to have enough to get both of heroes that cost 300 codes. We’ll have to wait and see.

Hypixel Skyblock Dragons – How much damage do you need to get top 3? – Average Damage to Dragons

by
Percentage Damage To Dragons vs Placement (1)

Recently, I’ve been wondering how much damage people do to the Ender Dragon.

If we can figure out the average, then we should be able to find out how much damage we need to do to basically guarantee to score in the top 3 most of the time.

So, I’ve started keeping track!

I knew that dragons have different levels of health, meaning that the most effective way to calculate how much damage you need to do is calculate the percentage of the dragon’s health the first place person must do.

In the May 13, 2020 Skyblock update, all dragons had their health increased. All of the data used in this take place after the May 13th dragon health update.

Why should we want to do more damage?

The higher you are on the damage leaderboard displayed at the end of the dragon fight, the rewards should be better. If you place in the top 7, you can get 4-5 frags. Placing in the top 3 will get you at least 8 frags. If you get top damage without placing eyes, you have a chance of obtaining boots, helmet, claw, or 13 frags.

For a while, I’ve been wondering… are dragons profitable?

As most of you have probably experienced, the answer is no, they are not profitable… well, unless you’re the lucky one to get a superior chestplate from your first dragon.

In this post, I’ll explain how dragon loot drops work, and look at some data to see if it’s profitable.

Useful Resources and Websites for Hypixel Skyblock

by

In July 2019, I joined Hypixel Skyblock. In short, it’s a clicking simulator, but at least it’s a fun clicking simulator. It’s a game all about spending countless hours farming resources in order to progress and upgrade your character. Overall, it’s been a pretty fun time sink.

One thing I noticed about Hypixel Skyblock is that there are a lot of creators who create tools and resources for other people to use. I noticed how there was no real “centralized” location for new players to learn about these websites and tools.

So, I’ve compiled a list of most of the helpful resources that I’ve used when playing Hypixel Skyblock.

SkyBlock Addons Mod

Link and installation info: https://hypixel.net/threads/forge-1-8-9-skyblockaddons-useful-features-for-skyblock.2109217/

This is a useful mod that is allowed for use in Hypixel Skyblock. Many of the popular YouTubers use this, and so does the majority of the Skyblock playerbase.

Notes about this are that this mod is very customizable, and there are many settings to go through. I recommend looking up some YouTube videos of this mod before installing, which can be found in the post linked above.

Note: this does require you to play on 1.8.9. If you like playing in the current versions of Minecraft, I recommend finding a resource pack of the newer textures to use.

One such texture pack can be found here: https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/1-12-textures-in-1-8-8/

Fire Emblem Heroes as of March 2020

by

Fire Emblem Heroes game is still the most profitable mobile game for Nintendo so far, but the revenue is declining at a fast pace. Intelligent Systems is experimenting with the business model to help with the revenue. They were experimenting with the FEH pass subscriptions last month and they are trying to sell a “forma” unit at about $30 this month. I think they are trying really hard to increase their revenue by adding other stuff on top of their very profitable gacha game. In my opinion, if they are going to add a subscription and buying mechanism, they should get rid of their gacha mechanics. They have to choose either gacha or outright purchase. Don’t try to mix the 2. By mixing the gacha and purchase, it shows how greedy the company is.
