OpSkyblock - PikaNetwork 2021
May 29th 2021, 18:00 GMT / 14:00 EST / 13:00 CST / 12:00 PST
Hello, dear PikaNetwork Players.
Here we are again, time for another season of OpSkyblock! This brand new season will be released this Saturday, 29th of May at around 8 pm CET.
Based on all the feedback that we received within our suggestion, have we started creating this brand new opskyblock season, a season that everyone can hopefully enjoy!
Below you can find most of the changes we have made and what has been added, I’m sure I forgot to mention it all but I’m sure giving it a good read over you will be familiar with most you're going to see. If there is however still something you want changing, feel free to mention it on this thread before its release, we can still consider making the change.
We hope that everyone can agree with us introducing souls to stimulate more fighting and pvp, which will hopefully be, having more fun. Who doesn’t love a good fight, right?
Let’s not make it any longer since the details are what you’re interested in! If you want to learn more about the updates, fixes, and new features, read below!

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 a wildwest-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! Souls
Along with this reset, we are introducing a new currency called souls! Our main focus with these souls is to stimulate and promote the PvP in the game-mode, as well as this will bring a different gameplay style we have not experienced yet. Souls can be received within the warzone by killing players, there is however a chance to receive souls from killing mobs.
Souls are obtained by killing other players or killing mobs
- 60% chance of giving you a soul when killed a player
- 15% chance of giving you a soul when killed a mob
New! BlackMarket
The black market will be a new shop we will introduce into OpSkyblock, within this black market you will be able to purchase some brand new items we will be introducing and some already existing items. The items within the black market can only be purchased with the newly introduced currency: Souls.
This black market is a static shop and the shop will always have the same items on sale. You know what you are grinding for, and these items can be instantly purchased when you have a sufficient amount of Souls for it, the items on the black market do however have a daily stock added!
To make the black market more interesting needed rewarding, and most importantly, useful items be added. This is why we also will be introducing a couple of new items within this black market.
New! Book abilities
What are book abilities? Book abilities will be books that only can be bought from the black market that can be used for special effects. Those books are similar to the custom enchantment books but can only be received from the black market. The books can be applied to armor and swords, with this reset will we introduce the following books:
- Book of knowledge
Gives you a higher chance to get better levels from opening /ce books. (Enchantment can be added on armor pieces.) - Book of War
There is a chance of you getting Strength V for 10 seconds when attacking enemy (Enchantment can be added on swords and axes) - Book of Souls
Give you a higher percentage of getting souls. (Enchantment can be added on swords and axes) - Book of experience
You will have a chance of getting 5x experience boost for 30 seconds (Enchantment can be put on swords) - Book of Angels
Can bring you back to life when lover than 5 hearts ( gives you regeneration V for 7 seconds ) (Enchantment can be added on armor pieces)
New! Demon Gear
In the black market, there will be special gear – demon gear. Demon gear is just not your normal average gear it has Protection 18 and Unbreaking 12 but it also gives strength 2 and slowness 2 to make it also interesting for donators.
This gear is added to make it fair for all players, this gives unranked players the opportunity to get good gear if they make an effort for it.
We will also sell tools so everyone has a chance to also get the best tools in the game:
- Soul Sword – Sharpness 17, unbreaking 5, fire aspect 3, looting 5.
- Soul Pickaxe - Efficiency 10 unbreaking 7 fortune 5
- Soul Axe – Sharpness 16, unbreaking 5, fire aspect 2, Efficiency 10
- Soul shovel – Efficiency 10 unbreaking7 fortune 5
New! Book wand
A Book wand is a wand that also only can be bought from the black market, it doesn't show uses when bought, but it can be between 15 – 50 uses.
When you right-click on it, you will have the following chances:
- 50% - Basic enchantment book
- 25% - Epic enchantment book
- 15% - Crazy enchantment book
- 10% - Legendary enchantment book
New! Much more
Here's a list of some of the smaller things that have been added to the black market.
- EXP boosters
- Money boosters
- Soul boosters
- Gold set
- Silver set
- And more....
New! Genboxes
This Genbox is basically a box that would be different tiers and sizes such as this.
This box will generate Cobblestone inside of it in which we can mine and it will be saved into the Box's vault by right-clicking on the box. This box can have different upgrades that will help the players in which I found the following.
- Fortune - This will increase the number of blocks you receive when you mine.
- Speed - This will impact the speed at which the cobblestone regenerates after being broken.
- Quality - This will give you higher-level blocks, starting at cobblestone and working your way up to emerald blocks.
- Lucky - This is an upgradable enchantment, as you increase this your chances of a good prize inside the box are increased.
- Storage - This will increase the number of blocks that can be held by the storage facility.
Finally, we must let you know that each island can have a total of 5 cobble gens placed.
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.
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.

Questions & Answers
Why does OpSkyblock reset?
OpSkyblock is already up for some time. A reset has to happen to change and improve with new features, to make the game more exciting for you all! This then allows you players to have a fresh start and new players can begin to play without any significant disadvantage.
This means al items, money and the map will be reset. Nothing will be kept leftover from the previous map. Of course, all purchases will be reissued so nobody will be out of pocket in that regard. I know this must be a disappointing revelation for a lot of you, but think about the exciting new changes, the new alliances you can forge, the new map, the new features and updates the different kind of gameplay, and style being provided with this update will surely make it a worth-while and exciting reset!
