Ive Been Playing The Skyblock Section Of The Server For About 2, 2 And A Half Weeks Now And Have Got Pretty Much To The Point Where The Best Use Of My Time On The Server Is Sadly Afking, Ive Spoke To A Few Dedicated Players And Staff Members They Feel The Same So I Feel Its Time To Say Something On A More Public Base.
Now I Understand That Afking At Some Point Needs To Be Done On Skyblock To Allow Spawners To Runs Ect Ect But, I Wouldnt Of Thought I Would Get To This Point So Fast. With The Amount Of Effort Put Into Pricing Of Things And Amount Of Upgrades For Islands Is Awesome But Sadly 80% Of That Content Feels Skipped Over Not Or Not Worth Investing Into.
Ive Seen All Types Of Islands From Small Starters To Complete Monster Money Farms, And Beautiful Well Build Islands But They All Have One Thing In Common They are all Running Spawners At There Forefront And Thats It, No Huge Cactus Farms No Island Size Pumpkin Or Melon Farms No Tree Farming With All Type Of Trees, Just Spawners. Because Spawners Are The Best Way To Go, All I Did Personally And Others Have Done The Same Is, Cobble Gen Farm Till You Have Enough For A Cow Spawner Then Afk Cow Farm Till You Expand The Cow Farm Or Save For IG, Then Afk To Get More IG Spawners, Skipping Most Not All Other Spawners (I Understand There Are Other Spawner Routes To Go Down But This Ive Seen Is The Most Efficient Way) Skipping All The Other Mobs Drops, Skipping All The Farming Because They Arent Worth Investing Into.
This Is Where I And Others Feel Adding A Clear Progression And Crafting System For Higher Tier Items For Example Spawners, Would Add A More Content For Dedicated Players, Would Add A More Diverse Economy System And Routes For Newer And Less Dedicated Players To Make Money And Also Force Players To Branch Out Into Otherwise Forgotten About Things In Skyblock In Order To Progress.
For Example, Instead Of All Players At All Time Having Access To Buying Any And All Spawners Make Players Have To Craft The Recipe Or Complete Gathering Tasks Or A Mixer Of The Two In Order To Purchase That Type Of Spawner.
For Example Turn In X Amount Of Logs Of Any Type, X Amount Of Melon, X Amount Of Sugarcane X Amount Of Bones, To Unlock The Right To Buy X Spawner, With Things Increasing Such As Amounts Of Items Needed And Types Of Requirements That Need To Be Met For More Expensive Spawners To Be Earnt.
These Are Just My Thought And Im Totally Open to Discussion So Please Do, And Please Post Your Ideas If You Have Some.
