*this took no more than 15min 25min (with legendary key) to make, I do have a life, no worries *If I ever do have too much time I'll update this thread and include more explanatory text. Here is how much grass you get from the various kits. Donor has /kit spawner and /kit iron included. Important note: Item prices may change. If there are major changes I will update the spreadsheet and leave a comment to notify of the update. Here is the comparison on how much grass you will get per year. Here is how much grass you get per year, but adjusted for (divided by) how much you pay for the rank. In this diagram, you can clearly see that Skyking is most "worth it". Skyknight is worst rank with a score of 36.5, while Donor has only has a slightly better score of 36.9 And from this, we can take the difference and see: But of course, you must not forget that these graphs only show which rank or which upgrade is best in terms of grass per USD. For example, /kit iron gives you nearly the same amount of grass per year as the entire rank of Skylord, but Skylord also has other perks such as /fly which will greatly help in the acquisition of grass outside the /kit. This is not considered here. _________________________ EDIT: To anyone who decides to buy keys over the Skyblock shop instead of a rank upgrade, please consider the following sheet. In terms of value, it is currently better to buy the beacon from the store than the key statistically speaking. Either way, you are better off spending your grass on a rank than on items from the store.
Thank you for taking your time and coming up with this way to display the best rank. This will help me alot as I am currently Skyknight and want to know whats the best place to upgrade to. Because of this post, I'll be spending the minimal amount of money needed and getting the best statistical rank! Thanks
- added a quick chart to show the disappointing value of legendary keys, since they are commonly purchased from the shop.
It is not. It was just included for comparison sake since there's still a decent few hanging around, including Lz
At that price you could just purchase and own your server Or own 40+ Skytitan accounts + every kit available I agree that for overall price to experience, Skygod provides the best playthrough. Access to god mode and /enchant is infinitely useful, allowing you to be completely self sustaining. You don't need to ask anyone to enchant things for you, or worry about enchanting things manually (except for silk touch). You're also free to AFK away doing whatever, without fear of dying of hunger or falling into the void. The few diamonds you get per week aren't worth as much nowadays, but are still nice to have around. Next best playthrough-wise (for me at least) is Skylord. Being able to fly, repair, and access /ec any time all lead to huge changes in gameplay, and somewhat unlock a new take on the server once you reach it. As this post shows, Skyking provides the best raw dollar to grass experience. Having your own source of weekly sand, grass, and diamond pickaxes helps a ton, and is a huge step-up from the rewards with Skyknight. While Skyknight doesn't have many of the perks, or much of the grass value, it still helps players dip their toes into the donor life, and lets them start to stick out a bit more from the average player. I think Skytitan fits well in the "Special" category on the store, instead of the usual donor ranks section, as Skytitan and Donor400 are quite unlike the other ranks. Besides /spawnmob, you don't get too many new changes here that directly affect gameplay. You also aren't getting the best value for your dollar to grass ratio (though you do still get tons of grass and in-game items over time). Where these ranks shine is by how they make you standout more, especially partially due to them allowing you to change the colors of your prefix and nick name. It is much easier to stick out in chat when your colors look nothing like anyone else's, along with the the somewhat unspoken assumption that having Skytitan+ means that you're someone truly committed to the server. Overall, all ranks have their ups and downs. You don't have to get any one rank. It's all about finding whichever rank you're most comfortable with donating towards (or spending grass on), and what fits your playstyle and plans for the server. As long as you're having fun, you're doing things right
From the Skylord rank permissions: Though it does seem like the description for Skygod is missing this. Skylord and higher has access to fix/repair. I'll look into seeing if they can update the description of Skygod to include that, and remove the two "/pet" in the Skylord description.
I think donor100 was the best rank in the old days. One DAILY diamond (+ the other stuff), /fly, /enchant, /fix AND /god? Past Fran was in love with his blue donor.
Yeah, it's essentially elite which is probably the best eco rank for money since it's roughly 50% less than highroller but only has 1-2 less commands+some trails/disguises.
The elite kit also holds the most value for the dollar as the kit refreshes every 2 days and definitely has more then half of the items the high roller kit has.
Mob arena will be back sooner than people may believe, even if people are using it as an excuse to rinse people for a little extra grass.
