NOTICE: You will receive a big chunk of Combat Skill experience upon logging in - this is intended! Read this thread for more information. This will seem like a lot, but again, it is normal!
Hey everyone! Today we are releasing update 0.11.2 to SkyBlock.
This update includes:
- Full Revamp to the Spider's Den
- The Bestiary
- QOL Updates
- New Items!
► Spider's Den: Revamped[]
Included in this patch is the full revamp to the Spider's Den. Meant as an entry point to SkyBlock's combat islands, the Spider's Den now also contains a higher level area and a completely new world boss. It looks better than ever!
The revamped island features new items, monsters and quests. There is also a secret way to power up the new world boss, leading to much better rewards.
Among the new items in this update, look for 3 new bows, two of which can be upgraded by defeating the harder version of the new boss!
► The Bestiary[]
The Bestiary is a new major mechanic added as part of SkyBlock's combat features.
Automatically unlocked by all players at any level, the Bestiary can be found within the Combat Skill in the skills menu.
It contains detailed information on all existing monsters, provided you have defeated a certain amount of them, including their loots and how often you have killed them.
Increasing your knowledge of monsters will provide per-monster rewards like increased Magic Find, and achieving certain global milestones within the Bestiary will offer rewards like combat experience and permanent health upgrades.
NOTE: The Bestiary is a retroactive update! Upon logging in, you will be rewarded with Milestone rewards as if it had always been active.
► Grandma Wolf's Combo System[]
Also included with this update is Grandma Wolf! She is such a sweetie.
After interacting with the old granny, she will give you her own pet. This is a unique pet that you cannot convert into an item and will forever own and cherish.
One very important thing to mention about her pet is that it comes with it's own unique Kill Combo system. This system is active, even if you do not equip the pet!
The system is simple - every time you kill a monster, the combo counter goes up. This counter is not shown, but once you reach certain milestones in the combo system, you will gain certain bonuses.
Failure to kill monsters fast enough will cancel the bonus and bring the counter back to zero. The higher your combo is at, the stronger the bonus is, but the harder it is to keep it up!
To upgrade Grandma Wolf's combo system, you need to reach certain Milestones within the Bestiary. Once you do, speak to Grandma Wolf herself multiple times to have her upgrade the pet. You can upgrade upon reaching milestones II, IV, VI and VIII.
► The Deletor[]
Found in the Iron Collection as a new recipe, the Deletor is a simple new feature that allows you to automatically delete unwanted items on pick up.
► Quality of Life and Balance changes[]
