Updated! Auction HouseWe have revamped the auction house to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.
Our goal was to make it easier for you to navigate and find exactly what you're looking for.
Tracking the Auction HouseA new feature that allows you to easily access and view your auction house logs. With this update, you can conveniently review all your own auction logs as well as the 100 most recent auctions. This feature provides you with valuable insights into your auction activities, allowing you to track your bids, sales, and transactions effortlessly. By having a comprehensive overview of your auction history, you can better manage your investments, analyze market trends, and make informed decisions.
Search up players' auctionsWith this update, we have implemented a new feature that allows you to search for any player's auctions effortlessly.
Simply use the command /ah <player name> and you'll gain immediate access to all the auctions that the player has listed.
This improvement ensures that you can easily browse and participate in auctions, bringing more convenience to your gameplay.
Updated! Minions
We've turned up the heat on our minions to make things speedier and more exciting!
We've given all minions a boost โ now they're producing three times the number of items they used to.
This upgrade is set to make them a much better option, providing you with more items and making your choices even more worthwhile.
Get ready for a revamped and more rewarding minion experience!
Updated! Transfer ShopWe are giving the transfer shop a much-needed update and we're making to ensure fairness across all time zones.
We're adjusting the reset timer to 12 hours, so everyone gets an equal shot at the goodies.
But that's not all โ the rotational shop is getting a makeover too. Instead of a bunch of items, it'll now feature 3 different ones at a time.
The bonus? It will refresh more frequently, ensuring there's always something new to explore. These updates are all about making sure the shopping experience is balanced and exciting for everyone, no matter where they are.
Updated! CratesGet ready for some awesome crate updates!
With the player levels, you're in for even more amazing rewards from all the crates.
As your player level increases, so do the rewards. The higher you go, the better the loot you get.
As you make progress and level up, the crates will also level up, dishing out even cooler stuff. This means that every crate will bring you better rewards, all tailored to your player level. So get excited to unveil the upgraded crates and discover all the incredible surprises they hold as you rise through the levels!
Updated! Spawners StackWe've got an update regarding spawners in the game. Because there are so many spawners around, we're making a change. We're increasing the maximum number of spawners you can stack together โ it's going from 250 to 500! This means you can group more of them in one spot.
However, with this update, there's another change too. We won't allow placing spawners on the nether island anymore. This is all about keeping things balanced and making sure the game stays fair and enjoyable for everyone.
Updated! AFK PoolWe have updated the AFK pool feature to allow you to walk out of it without losing your progress.
Now, if you need to step away for up to 20 minutes and return during the next reward drop, you can continue right where you left off as soon as you re-enter the AFK Pool.
Enjoy the convenience of maintaining your progress and seamlessly resuming your gameplay without any setbacks.
Take advantage of this improved AFK experience and make the most of your time in OpSkyBlock.
Updated! Infinite ChestLet's dive into the world of the infinite chest โ and guess what? We're making it even cooler!
We're giving it the power to hold more, but there's a catch โ it will be a bit pricier.
Capacity x5, Costs x2Now, whenever you level up the infinite chest, its capacity will increase by a whopping 5 times! But here's the scoop: the cost to level it up will be doubled.
So, when you decide to expand your infinite chest, you'll have the luxury of storing a ton more stuff โ pretty neat, huh? Just keep in mind that as you make it roomier, the price tag goes up. It's all about balancing more space with a slightly higher cost, offering you more choices and flexibility in how you handle your items.
Updated! TagsGet ready for a convenient update: each tag will now have its very own page, organized by its rarity. This exciting enhancement is designed to simplify your browsing experience when it comes to tags in the game.
While you'll still see all the tags by default, the cool part is that you can now easily jump to specific rarity categories. This means finding the tags you're after just got a whole lot quicker and more efficient.
With this improvement, your journey through the extensive selection of in-game tags will be smoother and more enjoyable. So, go ahead and personalize your experience with a diverse range of tags that are right at your fingertips!
Updated! Spawner Upgrades
We've made some adjustments to the spawner upgrades. Starting from level 3, the prices for heads needed to upgrade have gone up. And that's not all โ for the star upgrade, the cost has been doubled.
We're fine-tuning things to make sure the spawner upgrades match the progression of the game and its challenges. These changes are designed to keep things balanced and exciting as you level up your spawners. Keep these adjustments in mind as you plan your upgrades!
