Minion Fuel

Minion Fuel is used to increase the output of Minions. Depending on the fuel, it lasts for either a limited amount of time or forever. Inferno Minion Fuels can also make the minion generate more drops, but they can only be used on  Inferno Minion.

Mechanic

Cobblestone Minion I

• A maximum of 1 type of Minion Fuel can be added to a minion, for a maximum of one stack for stackable items, or a maximum of 1 for non-stackable items.

List of Fuels

Below is a list of Minion Fuels, along with how long they last (real-time), the buff they give to the Minion's speed, how they are obtained, and the price on the Bazaar. If the item is not sold on the Bazaar, the price shown is the price to craft the item with materials bought from the Bazaar.

Note that the Minion's Time Between Actions is not decreased by the same percent as the speed increase. For more information, see § Calculations below.

Calculations

Fuels increase the speed of the Minion by X%, which means that the Minion's Time Between Actions is decreased according to the following formula:

$\text{Time Between Actions}=\frac{\text{Base Time Between Actions}}{100\%+\text{Speed Increase}}$

Example Calculation

For a Tier XI  Clay Minion with Enchanted Coal, the Base Time Between Actions is 16 seconds, and the speed increase from the Enchanted Coal is +10%, so the new Time Between Actions would be as follows:

$\text{Time Between Actions}=\frac{16\,\text{seconds}}{100\%+10\%}\approx 14.55\,\text{seconds}$

Notes

• Once a Minion fuel is placed inside a Minion, it cannot be reclaimed unless it has an infinite duration.
• If the player picks up a Minion that has fuel in it, the fuel will be destroyed unless it is an infinite fuel.
• Minion fuel can be stacked, allowing the player to extend how long it will last.
• The fuels that have a multiplier (x2, x3, x4) instead of a percentage don't affect the Minion's Time Between Actions. Instead, they duplicate each item that the Minion produces.
• In version 0.7, when the Catalyst was added, the duration was changed from using in-game time to using real time. The actual amount of time didn't change.
• Fuel works even when the player is not online, with the exception of the Solar Panel, which only works with a player on the island.
• The Solar Panel only works during the day (6AM to 7PM SkyBlock Time), but it can be used in combination with a Day Saver to have it always work. However, the Solar Panel will still only work when the player's island is loaded.
• Excluding infinite fuels, Enchanted Bread is the cheapest fuel by the hour, making it a good choice for new profiles.
• Minion Fuels are additive with other Minion speed upgrades. For example, combining Enchanted Coal (+10%), a Minion Expander (+5%), and a Floating Crystal (+10%) results in a total boost of +25%.
• The maximum speed boost for a minion is 175%. It can be archieved by using Foul Flesh (90%), 2 Flycatcher (both together 40%), Mithril Infusion (10%) and a floating Mithril Crystal (10%) on a mining minion while Coles Prospection perk (25%) is active
