Useful Resources and Websites for Hypixel Skyblock

by

In July 2019, I joined Hypixel Skyblock. In short, it’s a clicking simulator, but at least it’s a fun clicking simulator. It’s a game all about spending countless hours farming resources in order to progress and upgrade your character. Overall, it’s been a pretty fun time sink.

One thing I noticed about Hypixel Skyblock is that there are a lot of creators who create tools and resources for other people to use. I noticed how there was no real “centralized” location for new players to learn about these websites and tools.

So, I’ve compiled a list of most of the helpful resources that I’ve used when playing Hypixel Skyblock.

SkyBlock Addons Mod

Link and installation info: https://hypixel.net/threads/forge-1-8-9-skyblockaddons-useful-features-for-skyblock.2109217/

This is a useful mod that is allowed for use in Hypixel Skyblock. Many of the popular YouTubers use this, and so does the majority of the Skyblock playerbase.

Notes about this are that this mod is very customizable, and there are many settings to go through. I recommend looking up some YouTube videos of this mod before installing, which can be found in the post linked above.

Note: this does require you to play on 1.8.9. If you like playing in the current versions of Minecraft, I recommend finding a resource pack of the newer textures to use.

One such texture pack can be found here: https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/1-12-textures-in-1-8-8/

Fire Emblem Heroes as of March 2020

by

Fire Emblem Heroes game is still the most profitable mobile game for Nintendo so far, but the revenue is declining at a fast pace. Intelligent Systems is experimenting with the business model to help with the revenue. They were experimenting with the FEH pass subscriptions last month and they are trying to sell a “forma” unit at about $30 this month. I think they are trying really hard to increase their revenue by adding other stuff on top of their very profitable gacha game. In my opinion, if they are going to add a subscription and buying mechanism, they should get rid of their gacha mechanics. They have to choose either gacha or outright purchase. Don’t try to mix the 2. By mixing the gacha and purchase, it shows how greedy the company is.

Summoning Eye Drop Rates – Hypixel Skyblock

by

Recently, my brother and I have been playing a ton of Hypixel Skyblock. We’re in the late game, and recently bought our first 50 million midas sword. After farming a ton of zealots for money in order to afford the sword, I was curious to know the summoning eye drop rates, and how many eyes the average player gets after slaying 1000 zealots.

How Do We Get Summoning Eyes?

A summoning eye has a 100% chance from dropping from a Special Zealot. A Special Zealot looks like a normal Zealot, but is holding an end portal frame. Zealots holding an ender chest are not Special Zealots. Those Zealots can drop Enchanted End Stone, Enchanted Obsidian, Enchanted Ender Pearls, or Crystal Frags.

Located in the end dimension, any of the naturally-spawning lv. 55 13,000 health Zealot Endermen (located in the dragon’s nest) can spawn in a Special Zealot. There is a 1/420 chance of this happening. Special Zealots have much less health than a regular Zealot. It gets aggressive just like a normal Zealot, but does much less damage.

Zealots spawned using ender pearls are not capable of summoning a Special Zealot.

Once a normal Zealot spawns in a Special Zealot, the player who “owns” the special zealot will get a message in their chat window “A special Zealot has spawned nearby!“. Other nearby players can see the Special Zealot, even though it doesn’t belong to them. Other players can slay the Special Zealot, but its drops can only be picked up by the Zealot’s “owner”, unless 5 seconds have passed since the Special Zealot has been slain and the Summoning Eye has not been picked up yet. Summoning eyes belong to the person who spawned in the Special Zealot, not the person that killed it.

Getting The Most Value Out of FEH Pass

by

With the FEH pass, you get two quests which give you a bunch of free things and two resplendent heroes.

These refresh on the 10th and 25th of each month (with the exception of the first month’s refresh period being different). This means that if you buy the FEH pass somewhere between the refresh periods, then you’re able to get three Resplendent Heroes and complete three quests-worth of content.

Basically, in order to get 1.5x value out of the FEH pass, you have to overlap your buying of it with the refresh period.

Nintendo confirmed that this was allowed. You can see that post here.

Feh Pass vs. Other subscriptions – Fire Emblem Heroes

by

Feh Pass has officially launched and from the looks of it, it’s going to be here to stay. On reddit, now, there are more people accepting the pass than opposing it. I’m actually not surprised on how it turned out on reddit. Based on any of the previous surveys, I know that at reddit, there are a lot more people who pay to play Fire Emblem Heroes game than the F2P. The latest survey on reddit indicated more than 2:1 ratio of paying customers than the non-paying customers.

Before we look at how Feh Pass compares to other subscriptions, let’s compare Feh Pass to other deals in the game itself.
