    Hello everyone!It's Jacob coming at you with a guide to find a trustworthy person that you can play with in your co-op that won't loot/grief your island!Let's begin,shall we?

    1.Never say,"anyone looking for a co-op?":This you should never do.Picking a random person to co-op you will most likely get your island griefed/looted.NEVER DO IT!!!!!
    2.Invite a friend on your island:A friend is the second most trustworthy person you can invite,after staff but you shouldn't invite staff because they are very busy people.Friends are the way to go.
    3.Find someone that is recommended:If many players have played with that player and wasn't griefed or looted by him,he will most likely be a good person.
    4.Use the default island:what i mean by this is use the island that you first start off with.Don't invite someone when you have a huge island made out of diamond.

    I hope this helps!If you have anything else i should add just reply and I'll add it!

    1. When you ask for coops in chat, excessively , you are essentially saying "im desperate for someone to work with" Some people take advantage of this. Don't accept a coop member due to them bringing riches to you. Most likely they wont bring them to your island first and it will get wiped when they join.
    2. Staff are not going to accept coop requests as they have their own islands (unless they are looking for a coop). Many people already have coops and its best to make friends with people before joining one. Dont forget that there is no shame in starting an island alone and getting a feel for skyblock before working with others. Good places to make friends, i have found is Mob arena, and chatting to people who hang at spawn.
    3. Theres no harm in asking the public if they know the person you want to coop with. Someone may know them for a particular reason: good or bad.
    4. The starter island is the best place to start for coops. This way there is no temptation for griefers, because there is nothing to attack. A griefer may be less likely to destroy their hard work.

    5. And remember these few things:
    Never share valuables (gold, iron, diamonds etc) Even a trustworthy person may turn for a few diamonds. Keep valuables in an enderchest, or in a locked chest.
    A coop is at your own risk. The person you invited has access to the island at anytime. You cant always watch over them, and if they do something you dont like, then fights can occur. There have been incidents of people not communicating well enough in coops and it has ended in bans.

    As i said before dont feel like being in a coop is the be-all end-all. You can thrive and survive very well on your own, and some of the best islands are non-coops. Make friends and play skyblock :)

    Well, I found my now best friend on the internet by saying "anyone looking for a co-op" and he said "yes" and I said: "I'm a friend with a super mod so don't grief!" He: "okok" ... a year ago...

    Now we are best friends and I donated 50$ for him. He doesn't talk a lot in chat, but his name is "benaclejames".

    I agree to never say that again, but for that one and first and last time, it worked.

    I know this was an akward post.

    :) i met a lot of friends from /ma, then cooped with them. they didnt necessarily ask but yeah. That line un spammed is pretty effective. (changed)
    I was meant to say also, dont assume donors wont grief in coops. Just because they paid money doesnt mean they cant still cause a hassle. Some donors think they can get away with griefing so dont always place trust in them.

    For me, I met my best friend at spawn but simply helping them (with their pet name xD). I also met one of my other friends by saying 'Does anyone need help with their islands?' and she cooped me. So I guess its kind of 75%chance you'll get a griefer/annoying person and 25% you'll get a good friend. But I would say you still should be careful when cooping someone online. I first cooped with my brother.

    I vowed to never invite anyone to my island on .net.
    After being griefed a few times when I tried.

    I've never been griefed simply because I'm poor
    And nobody wants to co/op a poor guy so I'm mostly alone except for skyscraper owners.... Depressing

    I'm met the person I'm cooping with months ago, she just had lost her island (don't remember why) and I was like well, you seem like a nice person and if you'd like to join me feel free to. She is still a non-doonor, a very grateful and nice person. I'm glad I met her :)
