[@bigounce7976]

Can you make a video on the rise and rise of the aotj

[@Curtriss]

POV: Admins watching this video in 2024 and thinking "Why don't make it the best meler weapon in the game". This video needs to be updated

[@lilandch4rr]

Powliner left tho 💀

[@Pengggg]

250m midas on the rise!

[@mxm_gtr4747]

and it will now shine again with the 250m buff

So glad you got this finished. As someone who knows how hard you worked on this in very proud rn

Bro makes the best hypixel skyblock content. Nobody can compete with him sneaking to subscribe every video in a unique way.

[@MthaMenMon]

I left Skyblock back when the best weapon was the reaper scythe and gifted everything I had back then. I just came back to play with a friend and this video really helps a lot to understand what has happened. I see the end is still being abused for money lol

[@thegipper1215]

A Midas spear would be really cool since now they messing with weapon range in the dark claymore.

[@frqctal2601]

the 50m midas was the hyperion of OG skyblock, an overpowered item, unobtainable for most, but extremely powerful, though eventually they became much more commonplace (as did hyperions)

[@samurai_8436]

Thank you so much for adding in speed silver's video dude it was the first thing that came to my mind

[@eqou]

i want to be back in time when money in skyblock generally was something to be proud of

[@the_real_skateboard]

y'know, the duality of golden and ender dragon is the exact same as midas and aotd, except just on a bigger scale. if it's ever possible for edrag's price to lower, it'd be the exact same as the aotd's price lowering. since getting a golden dragon is a flat price of 500m + perfect gemstones and gold, similar to the midas sword's flat price of 50m coins

[@Powliner]

E Drag would actually have to go up since a Level 200 G Drag costs well over 1B coins, but other than that you're actually right yeah. Although G Drag is generally preferred so I doubt E Drag will ever go up that much

[@Wheatman02496]

Golden dragon will always be strong and e-drag will continue to rise in price

[@mendercrown4562]

Genuinely such a good gimmick, they could really make this a meta item, but everyone just forgor 💀

[@thedealmaker6996]

For me the Midas sword will forever stay the true definition of endgame, because now we have swords like the Hyperion which are totally rng based with if you’re lucky minimal grind and that’s if you want to do dungeons, you could just flip now and then collect minions and get a hyp , Midas was different, there were no rng based loot you could only buy it for 50m coins which at the time was really impressive, buying a Midas sword was like the pinacle of your skyblock profil, an achievement that symbolise everything that you’ve done from the first dirt that you collected to the last zealot eye that you sold for 500k.

[@biscuittasty3255]

The clip of the edrag have me flashbacks, old ah 😣

[@Raustin]

Crazy how 50m Midas was considered end-late game 2 years ago 💀

[@_jiraffe_]

That was also way less time consuming to get the best weapon in the game than nowadays. ~130m for hypermaxed midas is almost nothing in comparison to 3.4b hypermaxed claymore (or 4.5b for shiny hyperion but there's no point in putting chimera 5 on it)

[@hyperion1732]

I'm sorry to hear that your Midas despawned

[@JustSoj]

U get an A+ for the wonderful well described PowerPoint presentation

[@Fastrox]

I remember buying mine like it was yesterday

[@dominicchoongjr.9151]

Technically the reaper scythe would be better than the Midas which came out in slayer update

[@Fenixflightfr]

They should add to the scorpion dark auction the gold midas sword with a limit of like 1b instead of 50m becoming better than claymore

[@haydnkao1851]

New hypixel skyblock players will never understand the stress we went under bidding on the midas sword

Love the way this video was put together, I can physically feel the hours you spent working on it. I was going to try and find something to give as constructive criticism but I literally couldn't come up with anything. Props to you my man, keep up with these bangers!

[@Vyntus]

oh and I also wanted to mention that I really liked this style of video (the analyzing the history of something in Skyblock type). Another possible item you could do would be the Warden Helmet (I was gonna do a video about it's history and position in the meta over time but then I decided to take an extended break from youtube so that never got to happen). You could also potentially analyze the history of different Skyblock youtubers.

[@hazhaki7603]

Bruh imagine being so down bad to watch a video just to criticise it

[@Powliner]

Thx big man, comments like these are really appreciated :) Oo yeah Warden's a good one although I feel like more history needs to happen with it. Like currently it's just been the best choice always since it's come out so it's not that interesting if you get what I mean.

[@FormerlyAMuffin]

“The Midas despawned in my sugar cane farm please help” I feel you

[@NingenSlayerZamasu]

The Midas Sword is in a weird position in Skyblock, was once considered the Best Sword in the game and now it’s just a meme sword. Spending 50 mil to power up a sword only to still be a meme kinda shows how bad power creep happened in this game.

[@captncuddlybear9404]

The issue isn't power creep, as even though new items are better than older ones, it's happening at a slow, reasonable rate. The issue with the Midas is that the way you get it makes it in particular not viable compared to other things. The issue isn't power creep, the issue is the weapon was not designed with the future of the game in mind.

[@arttukettunen5757]

The original 10 floor plan wouldn't have made power creep that big of an issue (floor 7 stuff = f10, not stronger) but then skyblock would have been all just dungeons. And idk, master mode should have got harder slower I guess

[@thamemeez5702]

@@arttukettunen5757 yea. they difference in price and dificulty between f6 and f7 is massive. releasing just 7 floors was a mistake

[@SoccYT]

@@captncuddlybear9404 what's reasonable about dropping gear that destroyed the state of the game with no requirements?

[@peamut547]

@@captncuddlybear9404Honestly, though, they could change the 50M cap to something like 1b, allowing it to compete with the best of them

[@abobwaseaten]

I can just feel that in a year Powliner will make a video called "The rise and fall of the Hyperion" after admins nerf it into the floor. It is the meta for non-mastermode, voidglooms, the minibosses on the crimson isle and Kuudra. It is too overpow9 (hence the 1.2b price tag) and soon there will be a "Game Health" updated nerfing it through the floor. Also amazing video Powliner, the animations were great

[@cuminmeass]

I hope that doesn't happen lmaoo

[@Inactive_Account29283]

the kudraa armor sets are already better when upgraded than the wither armor sets outside of dungeon so it shall happen

the editing is impressive. cant imagine how long this took keep it up!

But the aote was never mentioned (they keep adding buffs and i think they keep forgetting that they added them it gets funnier every time) (please it has 390 damage 305 strength 100 cd 85 intel with a 12 block aote range and a dungeon item)

[@Powliner]

I could've mentioned it yeah, but Livid and Shadow Fury were generally preferred for damage

[@joepvos9696]

Part 2 when since the upcoming mayor update makes Midas almost as good as gs

[@zedblade2526]

please do more! this was amazing, we need more of this documentary-style content for skyblock

[@username22398]

i mean at least hyperion will stay good for a while seeing as we just got our yearly update

[@Timo-tt4tn]

As a midas enjoyer im glad you made this video of the legacy of that sword. It still sits in my inventory to this day. However i must say you may have forgotten to mention that the midas sword almost got a buff because 50mmidas was almost elected during tge dante revolution, which problably brought a buff with it. Otherwise this video is great, looks even fantastic and i hope your cat will when fed actually obtain magic find Keep on going man

[@jkbtw293]

They need to make another banger like the og like midas 2.0 and you bid 500m the midas 3.0 at 5bil while at the rate of the same bonus or make the midas cap unlimited that'll be funny

I would like to see a new game plus mode. It would be like completely its own economy separate from the old one. And it would shake up the items, stats, enemies and just generally implement radical balance changes that would otherwise be healthy but not be acceptable on the old economy where people have done much investment.
