Changelog/2023/June 20

Hey all!

The Wizard Portal is finally repaired! It only took 3-5 business days. Rumors are that, upon completion, Barry the Wizard (the ex-mayor) took the risk for all of us and stepped into the portal.

What he discovered might shock you!

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the trailer for this update:



► New Island: The Rift
The Rift is an alternate dimension of SkyBlock based on the Hub. You can access it by talking to the Wizard in the (real) SkyBlock Hub in his tower at (45,122,73) once you're at least Combat level XII.

It costs a few experience bottles (or bits) to join, but you can also join for free every 4 hours.

The island is a separate dimension, meaning your items, pets, bags... they don't transfer into the Rift. But whatever you acquire inside the Rift, you get to keep it when you return!

Wizard's Menu to join the Rift

Once you join the island, you will only have a limited amount of time available inside before you are sent back to the "real" world. Armor, pets, accessories, and various unlocks will allow you to gain more time and access further zones in the island whenever you re-join it.

► Questing Like Never Before
With The Rift, we've tried something a little different than usual with SkyBlock.

The Rift isn't a totally infinite adventure; it has an end goal of maxing out the Rift Necklace. The island has a series of quests to find and secure "Timecharms," which upgrade the necklace.

To ease your way through the quests, make sure to talk to the Wizard INSIDE the Rift to unlock the Rift Guide:

► New Collections & Slayer
Don't worry; once you complete the mainline quest, there's more to do!

There are 6 new mini-collections in the Rift and a brand new slayer boss.

New carrot-making method?

The Rift operates with its own currency instead of coins, called Motes. You get motes from killing mobs, completing quests, and selling items to the Motes Grubber.

Whoever thinks money thinks Shen, and of course, Shen is the richest person in any dimension; therefore, you can spend your Motes in many shops on the island as well as Shen's Auctions:

There is also the Vampire Slayer boss, the Riftstalker Bloodfiend. It goes up to Tier V on release, which is uh... very challenging.

All this means that even once you "finished" the Rift, there's most likely a reason for you to come back once in a while!

► Conclusion
That's it for this post! You can join the server to find out what other mysteries are hiding in The Rift! It's a self-contained adventure, available for players of any game stage, full of jokes and never-seen-before mechanics.

We can't wait to hear what you think about it!
