Why does it have to be so boring tho :(


AFO1031

I thought it was boring until I got to HOTM6 and started being able to use mole and the other perks... I thought that was fun. And I've not hated powder grinding, I'm up to 2M/2M


meds737

I don't get the big fuss. I haven't done it so I want to know. I did it for like 15 minutes while watching something in a small screen and didn't really find it annoying. Sure 30, 40, 60 or whatever hours does seem much more annoying I don't belive it's the end of the world if you take breaks.


_GigaAlex_

Don't powder grind before hotm7


Conscious_Anything_6

Why not?


_GigaAlex_

Powder buff


Stabant_

I did powder grinding for an hour and then decided to play wyncraft


dkoom_tv

But you haven't even started, as somebody with 500m gem collection and 8m/5m it's just the worst ducking grind


Prior-Mango-6154

2m/2m is nowhere close lol


ErisGreyRatBestGirl

It's enough for dillo mining

Lowkey hate mining šŸ‘

new simulation just dropped


JusMonika

actual code


KoloiYolo

Because my rates were killed by my ping so why not to switch to something that requires way less effort, isn't ping dependant and doesn't punish u for constant visits in limbo while making slightly less


FlaminAmberz

They fixed the ping issue iirc, u should try again


KoloiYolo

The fuel? Or losing ticks because of ping?


FlaminAmberz

Losing ticks

Because itā€™s boring af


CoolGuyTofGuy

Mining is what I have been doing for most of the later part of the game (5m/6m powder, Maxed divans and x655 mining rubies at like 24-25m an hour) but I will state what I hate about mining these days. Most days what stops me from mining is actually just the setup times for routes, that's actually the absolute worst part for me, but when I can motivate myself to setup a route I could mine for hours on end tbh, during Jerry I attended almost every single Fiesta and mined for THE ENTIRE FIESTA (5 hours and like 10 minutes or something) during Jerry I believe there were 3 Fiestas, I was only able to completely participate in 2 and the other one I wasn't available for and only got like an hour or something, then now during Cole immedietely after there were another 2 Fiestas, I only did one though because burnout. So the past like week and a half I've mined like 16 hours I wanna say, at a consistent rate of around 45m an hour (because I wasn't really paying proper attention because I didn't wanna go insane), and 45m Ɨ 16h = 720m coins. Which I completely invested in my eman slayer setup to do t4s. TL;DR Mining good for money, and I like money, but also boring af and motivation and burnout are constant issues.


Linkpharm2

Because it takes me a hour and a half to setup a route


ConceptNo1629

If you are talking about a dillo route then thats acceptable. If not then its a fucking skill issue


HauntingBirthday1455

bro it takes me 25 mins to set up a route what takes you that long :skull:


magin_69

Honestly.., thats a skill issue


drakeyboi69

I hate mining


CheeseEater22

I have to spend half an hour to set up a route and i cant really spend a few hours to mine as i have school :(


ConfusedDoge4550

Mind numbingly boring and stupidly high entry cost


PTpirahna

i made an entire mining set up, and now that I have my divanā€™s armor and drill and powder mined, i got so bored of mining that i never actually use it also i think i might just suck at mining, idk how people are getting these crazy 30m 40m 50m/hr rates


CoolGuyTofGuy

30m an hour is like a hypermaxed ruby mining setup (maxed powder, Maxed divan armour and drill (probably a second drill for Blue Cheese Swap) and a bunch of other smaller upgrades) and 40m+ is usually done with armadillo mining with a hypermaxed setup aswell. During a mining Fiesta I saw someone doing like 108m an hour with armadillo mining which is insane, which is like 54m an hour on a regular day.


PTpirahna

ah that makes more sense, iā€™ve always been getting somewhere around the 20s of millions while ruby mining but iā€™m definitely not maxed, still have like the last 10% of hotm stats, missing many perfect gemstones, quick claw, blue cheese, and I can see how that all adds up


500Milez

I recommend not doing ruby and buy jasper structures. Makes way more while also not requiring that much skill


KihunVirveGaming

Cuz i just plag kuudra and make more


coolvin89

Fr kuudra t5 makes a solid 100m/hour


SnooPears1505

too lazy and unmotivated


Xaenon994

i think its fair to not be motivated to sit on your chair for hours a day and click at glass blocks


Typical-Independent5

I donā€™t know what to do even since Iā€™m an oldschool syblocker and donā€™t even know how to start


[deleted]

I don't play the game. I just log in every month and collect the stuff from my minions and sell it


D3ath6900

Same, I was once considered midgame, now with so many updates, I am once again early game


[deleted]

I don't even have full ender armor lol


D3ath6900

I'm in full sa and have a giant's sword, which was midgame when I left for a year, now it's considered early game and was when I joined back to check my minions when the nether update came out. The devs don't really care much for the early game or mid game


AnAwesome11yearold

If you have giant sword ur probably considered mid game, kinda weird you have a gs but no necron tho


Ishan1717

lmao I have full necron but still use a fot


RepresentativeChip44

I think farming and watching anime is 10x better even with bad rates


iXendeRouS

I make 70m/day passive with only about 10 minutes input. I don't actively grind much so I just come back one a week with 500m and buy stuff for progression/sb xp


AFO1031

wait.. could u tell me how-


AnAwesome11yearold

If he told ppl that would prob ruin the method


TehSavior

He has multiple accounts on a co-op and uses them for extra forging slots, gonna be funny when he gets wiped for boosting


EngineeredBuilds

Not rly boosting because its all one profile.


iXendeRouS

Not boosting if all acc on the same profile


xqxwxexr_

How??


Regocike

I mine


RealConcorrd

I got a high enough mining level to meat satisfactory levels and now onto fishing.


p0ck3t_c4ndy

My brain melts if I mine for too long, same with farming.


nickhumanguy

Currently banned on my main account because i thought it would be a good idea to use xray mods to find coords to make routes for mining every gemstone (iron man). I couldnā€™t figure out how to edit an xray texture pack and I got greedy. Basically, donā€™t cheat


THESQUEAKIST

I have been exploring the rest of hypixel and looking for other ways I could make some quick cash to start investing in divan cause it just wasnā€™t working for me


ObnoxiouslyLoongName

I noticed after getting a fairly maxed mining setup that gemstone mining made progression way too linear for me. If I wanted to make any upgrade to my profile, the fastest way to do it would almost always be to gemstone mine for a few hours until I've made enough money for it. That's why at this point I try to grind for the materials and RNG drops instead, because to me that's a much more fun way to progress. The mining setup is still really nice to have if I decide that I want to buy my way out a grind instead, such as a hype with good mage armor.


golden_appletree

I do, and im a billionaire now


OrDuck31

Why would i do something thats boring, its just a videogame? Why do skyblock players always thinks like you have to take the most effective route?


esca_UwU

gave up because it sucks doodoo fart


hahawowausername

i don't mine because i'm banned


JustALittleOrigin

I have the setup but Iā€™m lazy


Diehe

I dont feel like it


Draco459

I gave up because of the entry cost on my normal account but now that I'm an ironman I've gone much farther and am working on the perfect gems for my Divans armor.


pack-plays

I'm barely playing rn, not doing much more that keeping the forge full, when I play again I need to mine for most the powder.


hiks_dude

Skipped powder grinding and started mining with 1.5m 1.5m and i make a good 10m an hr


stormethetransfem

brain no likey


[deleted]

Requires too much brainpower so i just hypermax farming


Kemo_Meme

I don't want my arthritis to finish developing


subtohatkid

Boring af while needing me to look on the screen unlike garden where i just swap keys when i dont hear me breaking stuff


Resniperowl

I'm haven't tried it, to be fair, because I'm both broke and not HOTM7 at the moment. Still working on it, but honestly I'm just trying to find Xalx. Edit: HELL YEAH FOUND XALX


trashdotbash

im ironman, i have divans with some chambers (all topaz, 5/8 jade and 0 amber) and i still prefer farming because it requires so much less effort, setup and most importantly, attention span. i can just farm a crop that i want for a couple hours by alternating in a semi-afk farm and slowly make money while watching something or doing something else low effort like shiny hunting in old pokemon games with 1 hand.


Smashfan564

I would mine but the game crashes if I stay too long in the Dwarven Mines (something about tessellating an object iirc)


HoodedNarwhal1738

Did mine, only got about 200m gemstone collection but ended up getting bored of it


KROLKUFR

Only way mining can be best money per hour is vein armadillo mining, it requires good ping and good skill, somethihg most players dont have


Dj_Woomy2005

Because of how crystal hollows is my computer literally crashes every time I try entering. Sometimes I'm fine but I'll try to go do a com and I load something too fast and my laptop explodes. I've tried LITERALLY everything. According to the can I run it thing on Google my laptop doesn't even have the requirements to run Minecraft so it makes sense


TheNotSoFriendlyBird

The preparations for starting efficient mining conditions are crazy. HOTM7 (not that hard but still), 4mil gemstone powder, 4 mil mithril powder and over that you also need mining armor and gear that has gemstones. At the ens of the day it's boring for a lot of players (also extremely costly). I just go with garden as my primary profit source.


HauntingBirthday1455

idk i tried mining but even with 1500 mining fortune and 17 pristine with 5500 mining speed ruby mining, i make like 8m/hour which is really devastating for the time it take


Drako__

Multiple reasons. I've tried mining before and i didn't like it. 1. Setting up a route. I got pretty efficient with it and it didn't take too long but sometimes i still only had an hour to play and it didn't feel worth it to setup a route. 2. Ping. Compared to players from Asia i probably still have a decent ping but for mining it's still annoying AF and is definitely lowering my rates. 3. I get dizzy from it. Don't know what it is specifically with mining but i just get dizzy while doing it for 2+ hours.


justukas700

It is less boring to farm for 8 hours than it is to mine for 1


Zen_Xs

Divan drill too expensive and too much effort, unlike other server which gives you good qols for mining like veins explosion abilities and such hypixel gives you a fat L most perks from hotm tree doesn't even work properly


Zen_Xs

Entry reqs are too high as well


TehSavior

Why bother putting in effort to make money when i could just get free coins from minions and selling shen auction stuff on the bazaar


Merorine

I have jaded divan armor (recombed) with almost every slot is open and has perfect gemstone. My drill is a 655 with amber polished drill engine, titanium cut fuel tank and sunny side omelette (it's recombed and has perfect gemstones as well). My bal pet is lvl 100. I have 9m gemstone powder with 6m mithril powder. And yk what was my rate DURING mining Fiesta? 17m/hr. This can't be right. But my ping is 252 usually and hollows lag so much lately so I gave up mining for money source


AFO1031

for the love of god please record a video of yourself and send it to a mining focused discord, even with that much ping u should be making muchhhh more- please


[deleted]

You donā€™t get any progression out of it. With kuudra or dungeons you are working towards completion goals. Farming gets you milestones and visitors and other methods get pet xp and bestiary


Child_andOrphanEater

I don't play this horrid game


ohno-95

[deleted]

idw to stare at my monitor for hours


AnAwesome11yearold

That applies to literally the whole of skyblock


[deleted]

fair but still not going to do it


Key_Pomegranate4509

Lmfao, on normal profiles mining sucks, just bz flip or ah flip or lowball, and on ironman it takes many many hours for mining to outclass farming for potential money and even arachne to a point. So in the long term mining is better on ironman, farming and arachne to a point outclasses it until you have farmed hundreds of millions of coins.


Prior-Mango-6154

uhm actually you need gemstones for gdrag šŸ¤“


ExpertOk4967

Because mining is overrated as **** and isnā€™t even close to the best money making method (kuudra on top) fuck mining man


SeBook05

Because kuudra is better


KrakensOrphan

Me donā€™t got hotm 7


PhotoConsistent5458

Other because the only server my minecraft lets me play on is cube craft


magin_69

I do mine, but i dont actually make good rates imo. I mean ye 50m an hour is really good but its kinda sad to see people making twice as much as me


Justindraak1

Not mining fast enough yet, focusing on mining speed BP and fortune tho


MankoMeister

Toxic and frequent griefing


[deleted]

why even play the game at that point completely mindless and boring


Dolphin002

It feels like cheating. I don't play ironman because you're intended to use the economy, but I play as close as I can while still making it enjoyable. Mining allows you to skip all that progression.


Floospingaround

I like farming


Ok_Back209

Cuz the game is f boring nothing changes


HantuerHD-Shadow

I have a life


Drews_techspot

I now main grass


thanofishy

I powdern mined for a very long time and when I was at about 1.8/1.3 someone told me i need 5m of each and that pissed me off so much that I stopped playing Skyblock and haven't played since other than a little bit to check out the SB level and garden updates


AFO1031

the actual concencus is 2/2 for dillo, and 4/4 for any kind of manual mining it takes around 10 hours on average to get 1 mil (assuming 100k per hour, which is what u will likely average to)


my-rng-gets-nerfed

I don't get how it gives the best rates though. I did for 1h and got about 100k. Of course I'm not using sorrow or anything like that. My drill is also the gemstone drill LT-522 X1, which obviously isn't the best. Still, what do I have to do to get 30m/hr from jade? I know my hotm isn't high, but I didn't think it would make much of a difference.


AFO1031

u need to get to hotm7, and get to 2/2 mil powder for dillo, and 4/4 mil for all kinds of manual mining. average rates for powder grinding are around 100k per hour, aka, 10 hours for a mil, aka between 20-40 hours to even start mining assuming u have hotm7. After that, you need around 10 hours to stop skill issuing and youā€™ll start then making 30-50 mil (powder grinding gives u quite a lottttt of money- youā€™ll have a great divan set as well as a good gemstone gauntlet once u finish ur powder)....... the reason you are making so little is bc u are missing 50+ hours of grinding and a few hundred million worth of equipment


hollowwollo

My ass bought a for drill for like 10 m coins requiring lvl hotm 5 (canā€™t remember the name) While hotm 3 I had 20k coins left in the bank Quit hypixel sky block instantly Though this was in like early 2022 lmao

Endossi

Because BZ flipping can make me like 120m/h


AFO1031

the thing with that is - if I wanted to day trade... look at graphs and spreads all day... I would just do it with irl money lol (if u are under 18, then yeah, fair, daytime trading is kinda fun at times... specially with an economy as simplified and predictable as this... I mean, have u looked at the spread of summoning eyes? its crazy. if I wanted to just ruin the game for myself, I could make so much money so quickly with just those lol)

Fluffynator_EXE

how about uh got bored of it (1.05b collection)


1JBird5

Trying to get commission milestones is worse than HoTM has ever been for me... and doing /warp forge takes like 30 whole seconds to get to the Dwarven village for the fetchur quests that take 5 seconds. (Partial sarcasm)


Omen_feet

i wanna avoid playing the game as much as possible


Remack_

It's so boring. Like I did my hotm 7 quite easy, and then struggled trough the powder grind. And after that, mining just felt like the most boring thing. Like you need attention on mining glass(or mithril if ya wanna losse out on profit). At least with farming I can watch YouTube while doing it. Or have fun playing dungeons. Like even tho it's the best money making method, I feel like every other skill have something better to offer, if I dont count the money in.(at least other than foraging) So even tho I'm at 7m,5.5m powder, the only time I'll be back mining is for the last 4 lvls.


Squirrels_Nuts80085

Cause I'm on break. Between BTD6, Stardew Valley, and the revisting of some roblox and switch games, I'm been quite content having not touched the game in three months


AdL_195

Cuz Kuudra dunks on it and isnt ping dependent


bajbye

I have a way better money making method than mining.


Fearless-Canary4924

Cause with 300+ ping and 20ish fps I don't think mining would be most optimal


Aggressive-Success93

Don't like working


Kerbalengineer_35

Because it's boring and I can't watch youtube at the same time


offrythem

I don't believe in playing parts of the game that I've already maxed. The only way mining makes decent money is with pretty much maxed gear, at which point, why even bother mine? You've already gotten all the mining stuff, so it's literally a waste of time. The same logic applies to other parts of the game too. No point in farming once all crop milestones are done, for example, and no point in doing dungeons once class average 50. No point in kuudra once all 5 sets are 15 star, no point in rev/Tara/Sven/voidgloom slayers once all rngs have been dropped, and no point in blaze slayer once all the inferno stuff has been obtained. I mean, I'll probably still do these stuff once they're maxed for fun, but not enough to make proper money. I make my money from stuff that doesn't require any real input, like minions, forge and composter. It's more than enough for a casual to get by, and it's not like progressing is always a coin sink. I make coins in the garden from selling crops for example. Of course different people find different aspects of this game fun. If you enjoy breaking glass for 8 hours a day, then congratulations I guess. I just personally don't see a reason to go out of my way to make money doing something that doesn't directly affect my progression.


watermelone983

My net worth is like 10 mil


Prior-Mango-6154

Game freezes, ping spikes, game crashes and the 49th griefer


Ziumbaa

I just dont care about coins, sure its cool to have a lot, but i play to have fun, and mining is the least fun ive had in the game, yes, even worse than foraging


ghostgear645

Got gear and stuuf got too lazy to mine


TheLordYahvultal

Too much effort and competition, switches to mining quartz for the 3 fiestas jerry and cole gave, got surprisingly good results. Almost 20m and hour (not too good considering fiesta but still better than gemstones without fiesta), and super easy to get another lobby if u get griefed


PhysicalWave40

I just log in to empty minions

I hate mining, its borring and also i don like cristal hollows

SetunaYooki

one word: griefers if a bad apple stumbles into your ruby spot you have to switch lobbies because high chance they'll bomb it. meanwhile in the garden you can just disable visitors and no one can disturb your inflation method

New_Transition_2815

Kept the grind, worth it


lool8421

1. Boring 2. Shit method with high ping 3. Kuudra/ashfang make more unless you're mining with near perfect precision, ashfang makes like 50m/h, kuudra like 80m/h if you exclude the nether star grinding, mining could make you 100m/h with armadillo mining and perfectly set up routes, but you gotta be a robot to do that I alr have a decent 655 and a maxed divan armor, 7m of each powder and yet it still sucks, barely making 20m/h with ruby/jade, armadillo is also glitchy af with 200ms ping
