The ULTIMATE WEAPON PROGRESSION GUIDE! | Hypixel Skyblock

It is no secret that weapon progression is incredibly important in Hypixel Skyblock, but when there are over 150 different weapons to pick from in this game, knowing what to go for and when to go for it can be a bit difficult. As a result, I've taken the time to create this complete, non-dungeon specific weapon progression guide to help you progress your skyblock profile!

Gj with the guides they are really useful and as someone mentioned your editing style takes it even further than other content creators. Could you also do an armor progression guide and equipment? Ik it’s tricky cause equipment is used in so many different ways but maybe a separate video only about equipment if you hadn’t made one already. Anyways thanks for always putting up!

aotd is incredibly cheap compared to many other weapons. It was one of the first decent swords I ever got my hands on and the immediate upgrade from it was the livid dagger

[@romeodehghan9210]

you etherwarped my aotv :), nice vid btw

[@bottleboi7985]

great vid, super helpful and reminded me I still don't have a zombie sword. I would really like an armour progression guide tho. Survivability is the reason I can't do a lot of things in this game.

[@ModernSoldier]

Working on it!! Expect that one to come out in March though... I have other stuff lined up for now

[@devthemasked4343]

Get necron armor you get around 1k defense and that's good for f5

[@devthemasked4343]

If you are still early game try getting shadow assassin armor

[@marblecat779]

Skyblock levels is one of the best ways to get survivability. Say a lvl 150 player would have around 600 more base hp than someone at lvl 50. And most of survivability also comes from healing like the wands of healing, zombie sword, and eventually gloomlock grimoire

[@josuevargas1952]

Great video, just wondering, did you forget about necromancer weapons? or did you not consider them good enough for the video?

[@dingodwg159]

The spirit bow is very viable alternative for the juju bow as if u use the crochet tiger for bonus attack speed it is almost the same speed as juju

thanks this helps so much

[@PizzaRolz]

With this updated version of weapons you should see the potential of these weapons for slayers

[@venky_uchiha5438]

This is all perfect. For the end game progression, a Gyrokinetic wand will be usefull. When gyrokinetic wand combined with wither blade it goes brrr.

[@ModernSoldier]

That's in the next video! I didn't put it in the non-dungeon guide because I feel like the gyro really only comes into play then, but when it does, it works WONDERS

[@Shinyreaper816]

I would love a mage progression guide, that would be very helpful, mage is a very popular class, and being able to know what to do would be nice

[@ModernSoldier]

That's in the part 2 of this video. I'll cover class specific progression then

[@bernathanial]

hype -> claymore

[@halfeatenbread-id7pb]

For mid game another ranged option could be the spirit shortbow which is really cheap and does pretty good damage

[@lonelie9049]

I might have a litte crazy request but is it possible to make a whole progression guide covering everything ? Like i play skyblock a lot not constant but my profile is 3 years old or something like this and i dont habe a clue what is early mid late or endgame becausr i came out of touch with it and there is no video covering what are and what counts as these stages and what you should do and get overall and what you should focus on. I would love a video like that and i think you would be the right person to do so because your content is entertaining and interesing and with research and easy to follow. Like i said it would be nice and there is currently no video out there and it would help a lot of people like me. Thanks for reading like if you agree so he might see and do it.

classifying juju in late game is wild 💀

[@slixiii]

fr 💀

[@iamstoopid1395]

Ikr

[@ModernSoldier]

As I mentioned at the beginning, I classified these weapons in 4 categories but it doesn't mean you should be in said categories to get the weapons. Yes, the Terminator is an 'end game bow' because there quite literally is no better upgrade, but you should be looking to get one near the start of Late Game. The juju is the same thing, since it's the 2nd last upgrade in bow progression then I'd class it as "late game" (since the spirit bow is mid game and the dragon shortbow is early game), but you wanna look to obtain one near the late-mid game stages

[@awaken6094]

I literally use that early game combo with the AOTD, void shortbow and the AOTE

[@salpaka9332]

In 13:00 he talks about how gsword is only good if you have endgame stats. while this is technically true, and you should never value weapons over mp, pets or armor since they give a lot of passive stats (unlike weapons which you need to hold), the damage difference between gsword and sf is ~20% more dmg no matter what gear you have. You need to look at dmg differences as a %increase and not a flat number increase since the dmg stat is multiplied by all other stats.

awesome video now i know how to ummmmmmm progress my weapons :)

thx for those really helpfull insight in the weapon progression system :3 i started hypixel skyblock like 2-5 days ago and this helped me alot..... i'm still running araound with the ribechaaa armor out of diamond and trying to find my way in to the combat system of 1.8 anything i should consider in the really really early stages of the game that i should prioritize for? and the bank system with the museum i don't rly get it what i should do with the museum....

[@LeonardoCL]

What is that texture pack you are using, it looks awesome!

[@jespernicolaiandresen3082]

But do you not need to complete dungeons to use most of these weapins after AOTD? I'm a bit confused, because I thought that this was a video for weapons to use outside of dungeons, but I have to do dungeons to unlock them and use them?

[@penguinminecraft]

Few things to note: -The game stage progressions are not the same as actual game progression as you technically would not be out of early game until you have hyperion and terminator. However he organizes them a little more spread out for the video, and game stages depend a lot on skills and slayers instead of gear. Gear progression can be easily skipped if you have the money, but game stages are calculated based on skills. So you might see early game people with hyperions because they have money. -A lot of those swords have dungeon requirements so you still have to do dungeons for them -Etherwarp can be added to aote, not just aotv -Add transmission tuners right as you get a aote (its like 200k) and ultimate wise (2.5mil)

[@ModernSoldier]

Yeah I just add in the "early, mid, late & end" game labels to organise the video easier, but as you said, you're typically going to get "end game weapons" in the late game so that you can actually reach "end game", which is a different thing entirely

[@ishouldbestrange4574]

The aotv is just a waste of money

[@WeatherList3821]

honourable mention to aurora staff 😊

[@ModernSoldier]

I didn't touch up on mage weapons since they're honestly kind of pointless outside of dungeons until a hyperion. Sure, you can use it to kill a few mobs here and there and they have weird niche cases, but typically, slayers are the big out of dungeons thing you're going to do. The Aurora staff (and other mage weapons) tend to suck for this so melee is usually the way to go

[@Julienraptor01]

Few wrong things in the vid You can actually apply etherwarp at least at level 6, maybe even earlier (i just did it yesterday) And you can apply etherwarp to the AOTE too Also the AOTV recombed with warped is very legit dmg dealer and is great because you don't have to constantly swap

[@ModernSoldier]

Everything you've written here is true, EXCEPT for the warped AOTV part. The Warped AOTV gets completely outclasses by even just a basic AOTD + Dragonfuse Glove, and considering it's more expensive AND you can't dungeonise it, it's useless for damage. Otherwise, you can apply the etherwarp earlier and it is applicable to the AOTE, but you still want to upgrade into an AOTV as it's sooo much better to use

[@Julienraptor01]

@@ModernSoldier technically all the AOTV does is slightly lower mana usage (-5)* which for the utility is nice, but not really that worth it for the price it cost And the only other thing it get is dmg buff and if recombed and warped a huge dmg buff which basically transform it into a weapon that can onetap everything but mobs that are high hp like CI mobs or dungeon mobs I see the damage upgrade more as the situational ability to free up one hotbar slot to use smth different in it rather than as a real dmg upgrade Because like yes It's cool dealing millions of dmg, but if the mob you go kill only has 70k hp, it's kinda useless *(which actually gets lowered to -2.5 due to uwise that you already have at that point) But anyway the biggest point was that you could do AOTE + Etherwarp earlier than eman 7 which is actually extremly good Other than that the rest of your vid was pretty right and nice so i'm just doing nitpicking
