Hypixel Skyblock

Hypixel Skyblock. A game where everything revolves around coins. Well, not everything, but a very large part of the game revolves around earning coins. You use these coins in order to purchase better items, so that you can slowly work your way up to being the best player.

The End used to be a large part of where I used to hang out. Mainly, because it was one of the best ways I knew of to earn money. On a good day, you could earn 3-4 summoning eyes per hour, which equates to 1.5-2m coins. Then, with those summoning eyes, we could summon Dragons, in hopes of making profit.

In The End, there are a few things you can do:

• Farm Zealots for Summoning Eyes, to use on Dragons
• Farm Enderman for Legendary Enderman Pets
• Farm Golems for Tier Boost Cores and Golem Pets

Well the long-awaited farming update came out. Yay!

Let’s see what’s new.

Farming Cap Increase

We now have the ability to reach farming 60!

To reach farming 50, you need 55,172,425 total farming xp. To reach lv 60, you need 111,672,425 total farming xp. This basically means I’m only half way to reach lv 60.

In order to unlock it, you need to purchase this item from Anita, who I’ll talk more about later.

Well, I finally did it. Using the strategy I described in a previous post I wrote here, I hit farming level 50, allowing me to always get triple drops from all crops.

What a great achievement.

When I first started farming, I didn’t use any Farming XP Boost III potions. However, once I got more invested, I had my coop brew for me. He brewed the 54-minute farming XP Boost III potions with his Alchemy 50. When drinking the potion with a lv 100 Parrot and the Potion Affinity Artifact, the Farming XP Boost lasts for roughly 1 hour and 54 minutes.

According to my sky.lea.moe, I only harvested 4.2 million pumpkins and 11.7 million sugarcane to get to farming 50. Thanks to the Bonus 20% Skill XP bonus, the Rabbit pet, and Farming XP Boost potions. Because of those, I was able to get to farming 50 much quicker than previously possible.

I took this cool screenshot when I was 1 xp away from hitting farming 50.

A while ago, we bought a level 100 epic ender dragon pet. You can see that post here. Our next goal was to get a legendary ender dragon pet, without putting a tier boost on it.

We scoured the auction house, looking for a legendary non-tier boosted ender dragon pet which had no pet candies on it. Sadly there were none of those being sold. So, we waited patiently for someone to put one up. Finally, someone by the name of iM_sXon put up a Legendary level 1 Ender Dragon pet up.

The thing with bidding on Ender Dragon pets is that the prices you have to pay fluctuates so much, since there are so few on the auction house. Once we saw this Ender Dragon put up, we went all-in for it.

Looking at the other auctions for Legendary Ender Dragons at the moment, we estimated that we needed around $380,000,000 coins in order to afford it. So, we began the long process of selling pretty much everything we had in order to scrounge up that many coins.

Leveling Up Our Ender Dragon

We needed to sell our current tier-boosted ender dragon to hopefully earn a good amount of money. Recall that we bought the level 100 epic ender dragon for $215,014,135 coins.

Additionally, recall that I dropped a tier boost core. After applying the tier boost,our pet should be worth about $245,000,000 coins in order to make any profit.

However, we were disappointed that when we put the tier boost on, the pet immediately downgraded to level 96.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on coding a Discord Bot with both fun commands, and moderation commands. As I’m playing around with the Discord.js library, I learned a ton of neat things about working with it.

Here it is, in case you want to see it.

I wanted to get my bot to get Hypixel Skyblock Bazaar data. However, accessing the Hypixel API can be quite obscure and confusing if you’ve never done it before. So, to save you the trouble, I’ll share with you how my bot pulls bazaar data from the Hypixel API.

Note: We’ll be using JavaScript for this, as we are using Discord.js.

Installing Dependencies

I’m going to assume you’re using using npm, and that you’ve already set up your project file using npm.

To fetch things from a website, we’ll be using the node-fetch package.

Go ahead and install node-fetch. Navigate to your project folder and
npm install node-fetch. You’ll know that it installed correctly when it appears as a dependency in your package.json file.

Next, you’ll want to make sure that you actually use node-fetch in your code:
const fetch = require(‘node-fetch’);
