If you've recently started playing Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft, you may be wondering how to build an efficient farming setup. From choosing the right crop to maximizing your farming fortune, this guide covers everything you need to know.
The Basics
First things first, visit the Farm Merchant and buy a Rookie Hoe. Enchant this hoe with Harvesting V to grant yourself an economical 62.5 ☘ Farming Fortune.
Medals and Hoe Blueprints
To farm efficiently, you'll need medals. These medals can be used to purchase Mathematical Hoe Blueprints, specialized for each crop. The easiest medal to obtain is the Bronze or Silver Medal in Wheat. Typically, you need to farm 1k crops for Bronze and 10k for Silver.
Farming Contest
Participate in Jacob's Farming Contest. Contests occur every hour and last 20 minutes. Winning medals in these contests can also unlock unique enchants for your farming tools, like Turbo-Wheat. Keep an eye on the SkyBlock Menu's Calendar for upcoming Wheat contests.
First Gold Medal
Utilize the Hub to farm wheat by employing the "/hub" command. With this strategy, you'll soon have enough Bronze or Silver Medals to exchange for a Gold Medal at Anita's Shop.
Optimal Crop Choices
Pros & Cons
- Wheat: Easy medals but low profits.
- Carrot: Good for money and XP, but tools can be expensive.
- Nether Wart: Constant price but hard-to-get medals.
- Cocoa Beans: Cheap tools and great profit, but expensive to build.
- Cactus: Best profit but expensive to build.
- Sugar Cane: Great profit but time-consuming to build.
Recommendation: A Cocoa Beans farm is ideal due to the absence of an expensive Tier 3 hoe.
Experience Grinding
If you're grinding for farming experience, prioritize God Potions and a LEGENDARY Rabbit Pet. Pumpkin, Carrot, Potato, and Mushroom are your best bets for max farming experience.
Making Money
Once you've leveled up, you'll have two routes for gear:
The Cheap Route
- LEGENDARY Elephant Pet
- Rancher’s Boots
- Maxed-out Tool
The Expensive Route
- Mooshroom Cow Pet with a Green Bandana
- Minos Relic (if you don't have a high enough Garden level)
Anita's Shop
Focus on Extra Farming Drops perk and the +1 Farming Level Cap perk for your upgrades. These can be expensive, so weigh your options carefully.
Speed Requirements for Farming
Speed varies for different crops:
- Sugar Cane: Use 328 ✦ Speed
- Cocoa Beans: Use 93 ✦ Speed for a 5-high farm
- Cactus: Use 464 ✦ Speed
- Melon & Pumpkin: Use 265 ✦ Speed
- Wheat, Potato & Carrot: Use 93 ✦ Speed
