This season is bringing you all some new incredible features which will heavily impact the game-mode. Some modifications may be performed on these features according to your suggestions.
New! Builds
A brand new season can not be properly started without a new map, therefore we will be introducing some brand new builds! This season we have decided to bring you all an underwater-themed map, we hope you all enjoy it. Thanks to the feedback we received last season, we also have decided to resize the warzone of the map, as many of you thought it was too big for the number of players who were fighting, a reason which encouraged us to decrease its size for this season.
The warzone contains multiple mini-events in which you can compete, which are the following:
Outpost: Gather your island together every day at 16:00 server time to capture the outpost within the warzone.
Supply Crates: Supply crates have been reworked and new loot has been added. We've hidden 25 supply crates in the warzone, will you be able to find them all?
New! Island Skills
You may now unlock skills for your team which will provide you with certain buffs! Use /is skills in order to open the island skills menu. These skills can come extremely handy throughout your gameplay, such as boosting your damage, to boosting the experience you gain. The obtainable skills are the following:
- Blessing - Grants island members 5 minutes of Absorption 3.
- Warcry - Grants 15 seconds of Strength 3.
- Resilience - Grants island members 10 seconds of Resistance 3.
- Recovery - Grants island members 10 seconds of Regeneration 3.
- Retreat - Grants island members 5 seconds of Speed 3.
- Merchant - Grants a 20% sell boost for 1 hour.
- Grinder - Increases EXP gained by 25% for 1 hour.
New! Island Points
We would like to reward those most active players and let them stand a chance within the TOP leaderboard places. Therefore we have added island points! These points will add island value to your island TOP balance, meaning the more points you have, the higher value your island will have. The island points can be obtained by competing in our daily island competitions, a 24-hour competition will take place every day. These competitions can be such as which island fished the most items, or which island killed the most cows, etc. At the end of the day's competition, the TOP 5 islands will be rewarded with island points.
- The island points are highly worth it and are easy to obtain. This is done so the most active island also stands a chance of winning the TOP island rewards instead of which island has the most spawners.
Updated! Transfer System
The mobcoins shop has been completely reworked on, as we have received a lot of complaints regarding it over the past season. The majority of the items which were listed on the /transfer's stock were completely useless or did not even work in some cases, therefore we have removed all of the previous items and added some brand new ones.
- Every kill will now grand you a better percent chance to obtain a mobcoin. With this said, we have revamped the entire economy to let the mobcoins have a better fit in it.
- Mobcoin cheques have been added. You will no longer be required to have every single mobcoin dispersed within your inventory.
Updated! Player Levels
Quests have been removed and replaced with player levels. The player levels will now be a great way for you to show off your Skyblock skills. You will be able to start making progress within the player levels as soon as the new season begins.
- Every player will begin with level 0. The first levels will be quite easy to complete, the higher the level you are, the harder the challenge to complete them will be.
- We will introduce a total of 50 levels, to begin with. You will be given a reward after accomplishing every player level.
Updated! Auctionhouse
The auction house received an update and we have made some significant improvements to the auction house. We will be giving you a lot more control over your own auctions by adding the following features.
Stock
Right now you can only list one item at a time or a full stack for a set price. This reset will change, you can now put any amount of items on the auction house and set a price per item you would like. For example, you can put 50 eggs on the auction house each for $100 per egg, any user can then select how many items he wants to purchase.
Buying more items
Since we now give you the option to list for example your whole inventory have we also added the feature so you can select how many items of this person you want to but, you can select one item, a full stack, or maybe even a full inventory.
Not only have we added the features above we also fixed a bug with the bidding and have enabled the bidding system again.
