Changelog/2023/August 1



Hello!

Welcome to SkyBlock Patch 0.19.2. Hop on aboard to learn more about the updated Bestiary, new Experimentation Table item, general improvements, bug fixes, and more!

Bestiary
The Bestiary is a place to track your mob kills and earn rewards for killing mobs. You can access the Bestiary with /bestiary (or its alias, /be). The Bestiary can be accessed without any special requirements.



New Mobs

We have added just over 100 mobs to the Bestiary! The Bestiary now encompasses mobs from sixteen categories. The new categories include the following:


 * The Farming Islands
 * Dwarven Mines
 * Crystal Hollows
 * Fishing (Water, Lava, and Seasonal)
 * Mythological Events
 * Jerry
 * Kuudra

Many of the existing categories have also been updated with mobs that were previously missing. To find a specific mob's information in the Bestiary, you can also do /bestiary to quickly search for the mob!

Kill Requirements and Tier Scaling

Bestiary was originally designed to be a nearly infinite grind - a task that players could always turn to when they have nothing else to do in the game. SkyBlock was impossible to complete with Bestiary remaining an infinite grind. As such, we have updated the kill requirements for all mobs to be more reasonable for players that wish to gain Bestiary progression.

Previously, all non-private island mobs had the same kill tier cap of 41 and only a difference in scaling in terms of regular and boss mobs. In the new system, each mob now has its own kill tier caps. Kill scaling per tier has been standardized into 7 new kill brackets. The amount of mobs you have to kill to maximize a mob's tier is determined by its tier cap and kill brackets. More information about this system is available on the SkyBlock Wiki here.

When hovering over the mob in your Bestiary menu, you can see the amount of kills needed to progress towards the next tier, the total amount of kills needed to max the mob, and the tier the mob is capped at.



​

Bestiary Milestones Rescaled

Bestiary Milestone rewards have been rescaled along with adjustments to each mob's kill requirements and tiering. Combat EXP is now rewarded every 5 Bestiary Milestones instead of every 2 Bestiary Milestones to ensure that players get an appropriate amount of Combat EXP from the Bestiary relative to their combat level progression.



​

Claiming Bestiary Milestone Rewards

You now have control over when you want to claim your bestiary milestone rewards for the sweet Combat XP. You can access the Bestiary Milestone rewards menu by clicking on the Bestiary Milestone icon in the bottom right corner.



​ Claiming a bestiary milestone reward will claim that milestone's reward along with the rewards for all milestones preceding it. There will be a confirmation summing up the total rewards you are about to claim.



​ Bestiary Kill Credit


 * Bestiary credit is now awarded when you assist in killing a mob.
 * This follows the behavior of the lootshare system: assist Bestiary credit is limited to 5 players. Players who dealt the most damage to the mob have a higher priority.
 * All Kuudra mobs and certain dungeon mobs have shared bestiary credit within players in the same instance.
 * Lost Adventurer, Angry Archaeologist, Shadow Assassin, King Midas, Mimic, Wither Miner, Wither Husk, Wither Guard, and Terracottas have shared bestiary credit within your dungeon party and instance.
 * The player who catches a sea creature will always get bestiary credit regardless of whether they dealt damage to their sea creature.

Mob Adjustments


 * Heavily increased the spawn rates of Brood Mother and Arachne's Keeper.
 * There now can be multiple Arachne's Keeper alive at once.
 * Heavily increased the spawn rate of Pack Magma Cube and Kada Knight.
 * Heavily increased the spawn rate of Flaming Spider and Magma Cube Rider.
 * Heavily increased the spawn rate (weight) of Zombie Miners.
 * Doubled the mob cap of Golden Ghoul and Hellwisp.
 * Slimes will now spawn at y=30 or below on your private island.
 * Brood Mother and Key Guardian now only take a maximum of 5% of their health as damage per hit.
 * Players deal 1% to legendary sea creatures caught by others for the first five seconds.
 * You still deal full damage to your own legendary sea creatures.

Other Adjustments


 * Minion kills no longer count towards private island bestiary progress.
 * Recommended Bestiary Milestones in the SkyBlock Level Guide for various stages of the game and the upgrade requirements for Grandma Wolf have been adjusted.

Bestiary Mob Tier Rewards


 * Bonus coins per kill for each bestiary mob tier now work correctly.
 * Bonus XP orbs per kill for each bestiary mob tier have been heavily increased.
 * Magic Find per bestiary mob tier has been rescaled.

Missing Stats

Due to some oversights we made in the early design progress of SkyBlock, we are unable to recover the kills for the following mobs:


 * Kuudra mobs, Bal, and Reindrake mob kills were not tracked
 * The stats of level 1 Cow, Chicken, Sheep, Pig, and Zombie were merged into their minion counterparts and therefore do not count for Bestiary credit.
 * We did not differentiate between minion-spawned mobs and naturally spawned mobs when tracking the stats for these mobs.

Other Changes
Fishing Effects Settings

A high percentage of our players are using mods that add visual indicators to make fishing easier. Without these visual aids, especially with many other players nearby, it can be quite difficult to reel in at the correct time. Therefore, we implemented similar features from our side, so everyone can use them without having to install a mod. This is specifically aimed at new players and players that do not want to install mods.

You can find the three new settings in the SkyBlock Menu under Settings → Personal → Fishing Settings.
