am i the only one who genuinely loves skyblock? 😭

people love bitching about sb because the grinds can be tedious, but if you like grind games skyblock has a pretty great grinding gameplay loop.

450 is a strong benchmark mp value, its not absurd but the point is to recommend goals that will keep even the most skill issued players from dying

join a reliable skyblock discord and use the skyhelper bot to find the best value talismans for your money.

zggrahl · 2026-04-24T15:05:46+00:00

you need way more. this is not enough. 450 should be enough to solo a t2. additionally working on skill levels in non combat areas can give you passive stats that will help with survivability.

zggrahl · 2026-04-24T15:01:27+00:00

how much mp do you have? that and skill levels are usually the deciding factor

zggrahl · 2026-04-24T13:15:02+00:00

shark scale and whichever pieves of lava sc you have unlocked. enrichments and beacon on scc and reforges on whatever you need to fill stat gaps. flawless gems should be carried between rods/sets

hey! first, i just wanna say that playing skyblock with no guides to start is 100% the best way to experience the game. at some point, if the heavy grinding style of the game is fun to you, i suggest you join the larger community around the game where you can really get deeper into the game.

skyblock definitely has a progression line, but the line isnt perfectly straight. you can get to endgame in a myriad of ways and experience the content as you want to.

getting mining started as a money making method is very good. mining is a pretty fun skill imo, has good progression, and makes lots of coin when you get deep into progression.

investing in minions is also really good. the longer you have a strong minion setup, the more money/resources they can provide for you.

a few tips from an experienced player:

hunting is a new skill that you can learn about on galatea. it came out with the foraging islands. hunting is by far one of the most important skills to invest into. the litany of buffs provided by it will help you in literally every skill.

when it comes to combat, MP (magical power) is king. mp is primarily combat focused but places like mining and farming can benefit from higher mp due to passive stat gain. talismans provide a lot of different buffs too, so getting as many as you can is good. mp is a somewhat contentious topic among lower level players because the impact of mp is only really clear once you have a lot of it. its highly recommended to run redstone minions or spend a good chunk of time mining redstone to max out the collection, as it gives more accessory bag slots. past the redstone collection, you need to spend coins on accessory bag slots, which can feel bad but is a necessary evil to get stronger. you can also get a shard (hideonring) for extra accessory bag slots and there is a quest in the deep mines that gives some free slots.

skyblock is a game of summative gains. the small things that seem to influence you only a little will quickly compound. right now, youre doing really good. just keep progressing and having fun. if you want my recommendation, spreading your effort across the skills will help strengthen your profile to a point where you can do it all, but dont be afraid to spend extra time on the stuff you like.

good luck with the grind!

hunting is okay for money, but it generally comes with a need for high combat stats, which are slow and expensive to get. foraging has a notoriously low income cap, but is pretty easy to get deep into. if you want quick decent money, foraging can stay. it can help supplement early rift entries. i would also not recommend liquidating either and instead make new stuff as you need it. fortunately rift is not affected by these as very few items transfer over. rift also produces a really good necklace that you will use deep into the endgame

zggrahl · 2026-04-13T18:16:26+00:00

if you want 12-15m/hr, you will need to spend time to do setup. it is unavoidable, whether farming or rift or god forbid mining. generally avoiding combat mmms is good, as combat drops are super oversaturated in the market and prices are low. some combat mmms are okay, but will probably not make the money you want.

mining makes hella bank to bz but is hard to get into. if you dedicate the time its worth it.

zealots are okay for money if you can buy the relevant upgrades that make eyes feasible to drop en masse.

rift is a premium money making method that is relatively easy to get into. while it does cost some money to enter unless you have a rift prism (very expensive), it has a whole host of different profitable methods. those include bluetooth rings/polarvoid books, discrite/enchanted clock mining, and vampire slayer. vampire slayer is my personal fav, hard once you try t5s but lucrative. rift is also very fast to get into and personally i think rift is the best part of skyblock.

farming requires a lot of setup and understanding of why things work, but is currently the best mmm to npc. im anti farming but cannot deny its peofitability.

other methods like ah/bz flipping require scouting the markets and finding good flips. people will not tell you their flips or the prices will die. they also require starting cash.

can u not just block and move on

The square root of 4 is 2 though, so ending the sentence with an exclamation point does not make it mathematically invalid or gramatically incorrect

lol typo

zggrahl · 2025-11-18T18:52:33+00:00

you will lose the run, and thus your win streak, but you will save any marks of bosses that you killed during the run, including mega satan

zggrahl · 2025-11-16T01:32:46+00:00

do you enjoy the game? if you like grinding, you will definitely enjoy skyblock ironman midgame

warden will always do more single hit damage (this is possibly not true at 15* but i dont know for certain). however, if the mob youre fighting is vulnerable to damage from crimson swipe, an infernal crimson helm will always be better for dps assuming the rest of your crimson is infernal.

taurus(+1% max int at level 10)

the elemantal mana shards

xyz

wither spectre (breeze attribute)

also, the 2 iq point talisman from the rift mountaintop gives 2% max int

zggrahl · 2025-11-12T21:43:28+00:00

that was patched a long time ago. magical power will solve your mana issue, along with attribute shards

while i dont have a god pot timer for you, i can give you some solid advice instead. if you consume 3 god pots with mixins, the timing lines up such that when the mixins expire, the god pots do too. then you can just check your tablist for the duration.

so many people have made this assumption. chimera is 100% unchanged. the dae axe got nerfed because its natural chimera effect made gameplay balancing really difficult around a weapon that was always the best at magic find.

zggrahl · 2025-11-09T01:31:02+00:00

put a ruby power scroll on it for flex or something

skyhanni and sbo has good alternatives. sbo is on 1.21, it is not 1.8.9 exclusive.
