With the Skyblock 0.9 Update, and the introduction of Booster Cookies, a lot has changed with the Dragon market. First off, most dragon-related items spiked in price, likely due to the influx of newer players purchasing Booster Cookies and earning money that way.

Booster Cookies on Dragon Profits

Currently Booster Cookies are sold on the Bazaar for roughly $850,000 coins. However, Summoning Eyes are sold on the Bazaar for roughly $650,000-$700,000 coins depending on when you buy or sell. With this change, the paying playerbase now has access to the late-end game armor sets including Strong Dragon Armor, and Superior Dragon Armor. Furthermore, Aspect of the Dragons prices have increased from under $2,400,000 coins to nearly $3,750,000 coins. Since summoning eyes used to cost $600,000 each previously, one Aspect of the Dragons now pays off for more dragons than before. Same with nearly other Dragon Armor except for Protector and Old.

Overall, Booster Cookies made the demand for Dragon items go up, increasing the prices.

Our Experience Doing Dragons

We tracked every single dragon that we did, and this is our result.

As you can see, Dragons are quite profitable over time. If you do them in short bursts, they’re likely not to be profitable. Around our 200th dragon, we got no superiors for a very long time, and was on a long streak of no profits.

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

September 13, 2020May 16, 2020 by Jeremy

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.

Summoning Eye Drop Rates – Hypixel Skyblock

March 25, 2022February 23, 2020 by Jeremy

Recently, my brother and I have been playing a ton of Hypixel Skyblock. We’re in the late game, and recently bought our first 50 million midas sword. After farming a ton of zealots for money in order to afford the sword, I was curious to know the summoning eye drop rates, and how many eyes the average player gets after slaying 1000 zealots.

How Do We Get Summoning Eyes?

A summoning eye has a 100% chance from dropping from a Special Zealot. A Special Zealot looks like a normal Zealot, but is holding an end portal frame. Zealots holding an ender chest are not Special Zealots. Those Zealots can drop Enchanted End Stone, Enchanted Obsidian, Enchanted Ender Pearls, or Crystal Frags.

Located in the end dimension, any of the naturally-spawning lv. 55 13,000 health Zealot Endermen (located in the dragon’s nest) can spawn in a Special Zealot. There is a 1/420 chance of this happening. Special Zealots have much less health than a regular Zealot. It gets aggressive just like a normal Zealot, but does much less damage.

Zealots spawned using ender pearls are not capable of summoning a Special Zealot.

Once a normal Zealot spawns in a Special Zealot, the player who “owns” the special zealot will get a message in their chat window “A special Zealot has spawned nearby!“. Other nearby players can see the Special Zealot, even though it doesn’t belong to them. Other players can slay the Special Zealot, but its drops can only be picked up by the Zealot’s “owner”, unless 5 seconds have passed since the Special Zealot has been slain and the Summoning Eye has not been picked up yet. Summoning eyes belong to the person who spawned in the Special Zealot, not the person that killed it.

FEH Summoner: How lucky are you?

Since I got tired of the Gacha (translate: got salty) in Fire Emblem Heroes, I thought I’d spend a bit of my time to investigate the probability and the statistics of my luck on Gacha itself.

There are some summon simulator tool out there that tells us how many orbs we need to summon any 5 star heroes, focus heroes, etc. It even tells us the average orbs needed, median, 90th percentile, etc.
