Before I start this Guide, I'd like to mention that for whoever wishes to implement this guide into their progression, IT WILL NOT BE FUN NOR EASY. Additionally, there's a high chance that you'll lose motivation and quit midst progression. Anyways, here's the guide! (Will be concise)
Introduction: Hello there! I'm your average Penguin in a nutshell! From the looks of it you really wanna progress fast! Anyways all things aside to validate this post, I'd like to express that I'm a no-life Hypixel Skyblock Sweat who's played this game since release! (4300+ hours spent) Pair that up with my never ending curiosity of Hypixel Skyblock, I'm proud to say that I know nearly all strategies and aspects of this game. But sadly, I've recently fallen victim for a Rank Upgrading Scam and thus lost my late~endgame account... Anyways, due to that I decided on starting on a new Hypixel Skyblock journey on my alt account! (Now my main) Currently, I have a 2.7b networth on a 1 month old profile!!! (No cheats, no contraband. Just 11 hours of gaming per day+my extensive knowledge of this game) Anyways I hope that this validates my post as an actual legit and helpful post!! I hope you find it helpful!
My Skycrypts: https://sky.shiiyu.moe/stats/otmh/Raspberry
Early Game:
Objectives:
- Acquire Access to Bazaar
- Acquire Access to Crystal Hollows
- Make 30million coins from Bazaar Flipping
Afterwards...
Get yourself a full set of Sorrow Armor (20mil), Common Armadillo Pet, Pickonimbus 2000. Grind up to hotm 3 by doing dwarven mines commissions!
(ignore the event commissions)
Early~Mid Game:
Objectives:
- Get Hotm 7
- Get 2.2m/3.7m powder
- Get a Gemstone Gauntlet (with perfect Topaz), Perfect Topaz on your sorrow armor
Acquiring Hotm 7:
Upon entering the crystal hollows, do the commissions there (400 hotm xp for crystal hollows comms). Ignore the Crystal collector Commissions and Coreleone Slayer commisions. (These take way too long and aren't worth it). As for gemstone collector commissions use your armadillo pet for these commisions to save time. Upon hitting Hotm 5 get yourself a Ruby Gemstone Drill LT-522 as it has a breaking power of 8 thus allowing you to do topaz gemstone collector commissions. Keep on doing commissions until you have hotm 7 (this will take around 25 hours to do)
Acquiring 2.2m/3.7m powder:
Do something called powder mining in either the Jungle or the Precursor Remnants (Use a jungle pickaxe in the jungle for acquiring sludge juice which you can later sell for coins). This will allow you to make around 3~4m/hr in the process. As for the Hotm Tree upgrades go for Mole, Great Explorer, and Powder Buff. Do powder mining until you reach 2.2m/3.7m powder. Don't forget to have 1500 mining speed to instantly break hardstone!
Gear:
As Pristine is the most important aspect in gemstone mining, your main focus should be acquiring as much pristine as possible. I highly recommend that you unlock the Topaz Slots on your sorrow armor and apply Perfect Topaz on them. Additionally, Buy yourself a Gemstone Gauntlet and put both Flawless Jade and Perfect Topaz on them.
Late Early Game:
Objectives:
- Get used to Armadillo Mining
- Get a set of Divan's Armor with 3/5 Gemstone Chambers (2x Perfect Jade, 1x Perfect Topaz on each piece), nearly maxed Artifact of Power
- Acquire a Titanium Drill x655 with an Amber Polished Drill Engine, Titanium Infused Fuel Tank, Sunny side Goblin Egg, Perfect Jade, Perfect Topaz
- Optimizing Mining Fortune (equpiment, quick claw, misc)
Armadillo Mining:
This guide from Implodent will be more than good enough:
Also, ONE IMPORTANT THING! If you find a person already Armadillo Mining in either a Throne or a Spiral, leave them alone and search for your own lobby. It will destroy both of your profits and is EXTREMELY RUDE.
Getting a set of Divan's Armor:
All the profits you acquire should all go into acquiring a set of Divan's Armor with good chambers.
Priorities: Perfect Topaz --> Flawless Jade ---> Jaded Reforge ---> Recombobulate ---> Perfect Jade
Afterwards, Getting an Artifact of Power which has a Perfect Topaz (+1 pristine), Perfect Jade. Recombed is the best
Getting a 655:
It's best to forge the 655 from a 355 as you can save 20~35m. Furthermore, this is what it should be looking like after maxing it. (amber isn't necessary for armadillo mining)
View attachment 3135694
Priorities: Pristine 5 ---> Perfect Jade, Topaz ----> Titanium Infused Fuel Tank ---> Sunny side Goblin Egg ---> Amber Polished Drill Engine
Optimizing Fortune: As for equpiment get bestiary 18 and reach combat 24. (before then just use ender equpiment and apply glistening on them) Get Glistening Vanquished Magma Necklace, Glistening Ancient Cloak, Glistening Black-Gillsplash Belt (I'd say implosion belt is fine), and a 10 starred Glistening Glowstone Gauntlet. Furthermore, if you want more fortune then invest in a quick claw.
Mid Game:
Objectives:
- 600 Magic Power
- 3b Networth
Magic Power: Use a Accessories bot to see how you can optimize spending money on talismen (Skyhelper will be great). Acquire 600 magic power and stop from that point on.
Networth: Just Armadillo mine lol
Mid~Late Game:
Objectives:
- Catacombs 30
- Acquiring a F7 Setup
- Catacombs 40 (1k f7 runs)
Catacombs 30: This is straightforward. Just grind the highest floor you can and hit catacombs 30. Won't be hard with your vast amount of coins
Acquiring a F7 Setup: You have 3 choices. Going as a JuJu non, a Hype mage, Hybrid tank. Out of these 3, I'd highly recommend you go as a Mage (will land you in parties the fastest, thus nearly no downtime + chill class) If you need more money then, either A. continue with armadillo mining until you can afford these B. Sell your mining setup and get into F7
Catacombs 40 (1k f7 runs): 1000 f7 runs will take you around 150~180 hours to get. Set your rng meter to Necron's Handles. By the time your done with the 1000 runs you'd have around another 3billion coins to waste. Also you'll be a pretty good dungeon player by then!
Late Game:
Objectives:
- 9/7/7/7 for Slayers
- Getting a Mastermode Setup
- Getting into Mastermode Dungeons
9/7/7/7 Slayers: Except for enderman slayer, this is straightforward as hell. For eman slayer get around 800~900 magic power + Ender Dragon pet/Golden Dragon Pet + Atomsplit + Final Destination with 25k+ kills + Overflux + Mana Steal 3 Soul Whip. It'll take you around 20hours to get Enderman Slayer 8 with this setup.
Mastermode setup: Only sell the Final Destination set, Atomsplit, Mana Steal Soul Whip. Afterwards, acquire a 3/4 9 Starred Legion 5 Necron set, A 9 Starred Soul Eater 5 Terminator, Ice Spray Wand, Maxor's Boots. (If you can, get a gdrag with 1b bank). Furthermore, change your Hyperion to a Scylla if you haven't already.
Mastermode Dungeons: Run m5 runs until you can comfortably do m6. (1k m5 runs) Afterwards, focus on m6 and attempt on getting a level 200 Golden Dragon Pet + 1b Bank.
End Game:
Objectives:
- Catacombs 50
- Just Overall higher levels, game completion
Catacombs 50: Upon Reaching catacombs 48, start doing m7 runs until you reach cata 50.
Afterwards... : Get into FIshing!!!!!! Also, attempt on maxing out most things such as slayers, class average, completions, other skills. As for money, level up Golden Dragon Pets by doing Ghost Grinding. (this will get you upwards of 60m/hr), Orrr if you want you could always go back to mining!
As for your foraging/farming level just spend around 1billion coins on blue jerry boxes and max them out!
Miscellaneous:
- Get Alchemy 50, Carpentry 50 on your way there. As for your minions, I highly recommend that you use Fishing Minions until you start properly doing fishing!
- This will take you around 1000~1400 hours to accomplish + if Armadillo mining gets nerfed, you gotta hop over to ruby mining and that's far worse rates than Armadillo Mining
Final Words:
This took around an hour to write, so I hope that this was helpful for you. Additionally, I'd like to state that this is a game, not a place where you gotta speedrun everything. The point is to enjoy your time... So, I highly recommend that you don't actually take this path as it's relatively boring and extremely unmotivating... Anyways as I have an exam tomorrow Imma go ahead and start preparing for it! Good Luck on your future grinds!!!!!!!!!!
