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.

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

[@amana_bib092]

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

it took 2 years, but this is outdated, and its better than GS and claymore. thanks hypixel

[@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

[@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

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)

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.

At least now you can use it to get a higher museum value based on the ammount of coins you spend on it. Easy 2.1b museum with 1 item for bank upgrades.

[@screaming_cat_]

Oh how the mighty have fallen

[@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
