<\/a>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.<\/p>\nIn order to unlock it, you need to purchase this item from Anita, who I’ll talk more about later.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n In the hub, there’s Jacob, the farming guy. There’s also Anita, who’s located above Jacob, on the second floor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A new event has come to Skyblock: Jacob’s Festivals. Every 3 in-game days (once per hour, starting at xx:15 real-time), there is a 20-minute event where whoever farms the most of a certain crop during a certain time period wins.<\/p>\n Minion collections do not count. Don’t bother switching all your minions.<\/em><\/p>\n Only certain crops will count during each event. Hovering over the Calendar in Jacob’s interface will allow you to check the upcoming crops.<\/p>\n In order to score well, you need the proper equipment, and a high farming skill. Since I reached farming 50 a while ago, I stopped farming because there was no point to increasing it. Now, there’s actually a point to reaching farming lv 60.<\/p>\n Before this update, for pumpkins\/melons, I would have recommended any axe. There are no specialized axes for these crops. Now, there are specialized axes for each crop, which you can find in Anita’s store. She also sells specialized axes for each crop, and also other items which make building the farms easier.<\/p>\n I also recommend the Elephant pet, as it’s the only pet that increases your crops double drop chance.<\/p>\n It depends on the crop. For instance, here’s how pumpkins scored.<\/p>\n However, here’s the score for sugarcane. Note that I purposefully stopped at silver so I can check the silver rewards.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h4>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nJacob’s Festivals<\/h4>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nChecking The Upcoming Crops You’re Allowed To Farm<\/h5>\n
<\/a>Since these events happen every hour, it’s ok to miss some, and participate in the ones you have farms built for, rather than building one of each farm. Note that festivals only last for 20 minutes, so you don’t need to build the largest farms to make it so that you can infinitely farm without stopping, but rather, you only need to build a farm large enough that you can farm for 20 minutes without stopping.<\/p>\nFarming Gear<\/h5>\n
<\/a>You can also put the\u00a0blessed<\/strong> reforge on axes now. You can find this NPC to purchase blessed fruit <\/strong>behind the blacksmith NPC. Recombobulating your tool will increase the blessed reforge’s stats. However, you really\u00a0don’t<\/em> need this to reach the top 5%.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nTop 5%, How Hard Is It To Get?<\/h4>\n
<\/a>Right when the festival was about to end, it said I was 11,525 score over silver. This means that the highest-ranking silver player had roughly 77,500 pumpkins.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
