Changelog/2023/November 28

Hello!

Welcome to SkyBlock Patch 0.19.8. Today's update contains a new Advent Calendar, new gifting rewards on Jerry’s Workshop, Secret Bingo, several bug fixes, and more!

► Jerry’s Workshop
It’s that magical time of year again! The air is crisp and chilly, the streets twinkle with festive lights, people are bustling with holiday saplings, and SkyBlock has a new Jerry’s Workshop patch!

Like each December, we have a look at our Winter content and improve what needs improving. Here’s what we have done this year:

The festivities begin now! Explore the island's winter wonderland throughout the month.

2023 Advent Calendar
Similarly to last year's Advent Calendar, players will be able to claim a gift reward every day of December until the 25th.

This year, you can also claim a second and third daily reward by playing SkyBlock each day and gifting other players!

Meet Generow, the Gift-Master Penguin
Generow, our charming new NPC on Jerry's Workshop, is here to spread the joy of giving.

The more unique players you donate gifts to during the month of December, the more milestones you’ll reach in Generow. The new rewards include:
 * Frozen Bait (an improved version of Ice Bait)
 * Gift of Learning (Soulbound item letting you choose a skill to gain EXP in)
 * A way to obtain Einary’s Abiphone contact
 * A unique Memento item
 * A new emblem
 * Many, many gifts!

Generow will vanish from the face of SkyBlock in early 2024, so don’t forget to claim your rewards!

New Bottles of Jyrre
Everybody’s favorite item(?) is back!

But this time it’s actually good.


 * Old Bottles of Jyrre you may own are now legacy items.
 * Once maxed, the new bottle of Jyrre evolves and can grant you a permanent 1 Intelligence, and 2 SkyBlock XP.
 * You can only obtain that permanent buff 5 times.
 * It takes a total of 300 hours to max it out, and all you have to do is keep it in your inventory.
 * The Bottle does not reset anymore if you place it in a chest.
 * Oruo increments the timer of the Bottle by 1 full hour each time you complete his puzzle.
 * The Old Bottles of Jyrre are now removed from Sherry’s Shop, and you can obtain the new ones from gifts.

New Boss Fight Reward
The final gift pile of every Battle of Jerry Mountain event will now grant a Volcanic Rock if the pile was intact. You can now use the Volcanic Rock in Einary’s Shop to purchase new items:
 * A new Ultimate Enchant: Refrigerate!
 * A Magic Top Hat (used to upgrade the Snowman Pet to Mythic)
 * Winter Fragments (used to upgrade the Yeti Sword, Glacial Scythe, and Ice Spray Wand.

Other Winter Changes

 * There are now more Gifts being rewarded in each Gift Pile during the main Event.
 * The Ice Essence Shop has a new perk, allowing you to increase the Odds to find a Reindrake
 * The Reindrake is 50% more likely to be found by default
 * The Glacial Cave loot table now includes new items, such as the Frozen Bait and Einary’s Red Hoodie.
 * The smallest Gift and EXP rewards from gifts have been removed, to increase their value.

Enjoy these wintery enhancements and have a splendid time in Jerry's Workshop!

► Secret Bingo
To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of SkyBlock Bingo, a special Secret Bingo is being held in December! To complete this bingo, you must figure out the goals and complete them. Do you have the smarts to find the solutions? Talk to Bingo in the SkyBlock Hub to get started!
