Hypixel Skyblock introduces a unique feature called the Bestiary—a collection system for data on mobs. This intricate system can enhance your experience in Skyblock by rewarding you for every mob kill. Dive into this guide to get a comprehensive understanding of the Bestiary.
What is the Bestiary in the Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft server?
The Bestiary is essentially a mob dictionary, detailing information on the various mobs you encounter in the game. As you collect kills on these mobs, you are granted buffs against that particular mob and contribute towards the Bestiary Milestone. This milestone rewards players with additional health and Stone Sword Combat XP.
Kill Credit
When you aid in the killing of a mob, you receive Bestiary credit. This credit is restricted to the top five players who inflict the most damage on the mob. Notably, mobs found in Dungeons and the Kuudra boss fight grant shared bestiary credit to players within the same instance. Some of these mobs include:
- Lost Adventurer
- Angry Archaeologist
- King Midas, and more.
If you're into fishing, any Sea Creature you reel in gives you credit, regardless of whether you deal damage or not.
Brackets & Tiers
Every mob comes with its unique kill tier caps, and the number of mobs required to reach a family's peak is determined by its tier cap and kill brackets. The system comprises 7 standardized kill brackets.
How to Efficiently Level Up Your Bestiary
Leveling up the Bestiary can be categorized into three stages:
Early Game
- For starters, consider building a large platform on your private island and farm any spawning mobs.
- Focus on easy-to-kill mobs such as zombie villagers, blaze, wither skeleton, and more.
- If you manage to grind adequately, you can reach up to Bestiary level 10 and earn a decent amount of combat XP.
Mid Game
- Players at this level should ideally have strong dragon armor or something similar.
- Delve into the end and focus on Endermen, obsidian defenders, and watchers.
- Engage in zombie and spider slayer tasks, go for treasure hoarders, goblins, and ice walkers in the dwarven mines.
- Participating in catacombs and the spooky festival can also prove beneficial.
End Game
- Max out all mobs to their highest levels.
- For challenging grinds like ghosts, using a soul whip can be helpful.
- Players might also consider focusing on dragons, but this requires a significant investment.
Additional Features of the Bestiary
Nearly every mob in SkyBlock is categorized under a mob family. The Bestiary diversifies combat content, awarding players with health, combat experience, magic find, strength, coins, and experience against distinct families. You can access the Bestiary through the combat skill menu or by using the command /bestiary.
Tier Scaling
The system comprises seven distinct kill brackets, with each mob having a specific Tier Cap, which players cannot exceed.
Leveling Rewards
Rewards are allocated based on the milestones reached for each tier of the Mob category. For instance, every 10 tiers provide players with +2 health. On reaching specific tiers, players can also unlock loot information for that mob.
Families
Each mob in SkyBlock is tracked under a family in the Bestiary. To know more about a mob's loot, you can visit its individual page.
In conclusion, the Bestiary in Hypixel Skyblock offers players a unique opportunity to not only understand mobs better but also gain rewards. So, venture into the world of Skyblock, defeat mobs, and expand your Bestiary to reap the benefits!
