Usage: The Power of Squashbuckle

One of the standout features of Cropie Armor is its tiered bonus ability, Squashbuckle. This ability comes into play when you're farming Pumpkin, Melon, and Cocoa Beans. Wearing more pieces of Cropie Armor increases the chance of dropping a Squash and grants you up to 45 Farming Fortune when all pieces are worn.

Finding the NPC Sam: Starting Your Garden Journey

Before you get into farming, you'll encounter an NPC named Sam on your private island. Following a brief dialogue, he will guide you into your garden. Sam will assign small tasks and quests that help you start farming and understanding the new Garden update in Skyblock. The Garden area will have a composter, a desk, and a visitors' logbook for you to interact with.

Bonus: Making Money with Compost

You can utilize the composter to produce compost, which can be bought and sold on the bazaar. Combining organic matter and biofuel (purchased from Skymark at the desk) will produce compost every 20 minutes, providing a good avenue for making money.

Cropie Armor and Garden Milestones

Your Garden has various milestones and crop upgrades to unlock. Leveling up your garden unlocks new tiers and upgrades, including increased Farming Fortune for specific crops. You can earn copper by serving visitors, which you can then use to purchase various items, including upgrades for your Cropie Armor.

Cropie Armor: An Upgrade Over Melon Armor

Melon Armor, the basic tier of farming armor, can be upgraded to Cropie Armor using Cropies that drop while wearing Melon Armor. Cropie Armor boasts better stats, offering +90 Farming Fortune, +15 speed, +550 health, and +120 defense. This makes it a significant upgrade and worth the investment.

Conclusion

The Cropie Armor is a crucial part of the Garden Update in Hypixel Skyblock. Not only does it enhance your farming experience, but it also provides various ways to upgrade and optimize your activities in the game. So, if you're serious about mastering farming in Hypixel Skyblock, Cropie Armor is the way to go.
