Hypixel Skyblock introduces a myriad of unique armor sets, but few have the allure and power of the Yog Armor. This EPIC armor set boasts a combination of defense, health, and mining speed, making it one of the most sought-after sets for dedicated players. Below, we delve into its properties, how to obtain it, and tips to get it faster.

How to get Yog Armor in Hypixel Skyblock?

Getting your hands on the coveted Yog Armor requires a combination of strategic mining, collection milestones, and crafting prowess. Here's a step-by-step guide to making the Yog Armor your own:

  1. Reaching Hard Stone V Collection Milestone:
    • Why: The Yog Armor crafting recipe unlocks only when you've reached the Hard Stone V collection, equivalent to collecting 150,000 Hard Stones.
    • How: Focus on mining Hard Stone as much as possible. Utilize mining speed buffs, such as those from the 'Gone With the Wind' event, and tools like the Jungle Pickaxe to expedite your mining.
  2. Crafting Ingredients:
    • Flamebreaker Armor: Before crafting Yog Armor, you need Flamebreaker Armor. This serves as the base armor set that you'll modify to create Yog Armor.
    • Yoggies: These are crucial materials for crafting the Yog Armor. For each piece of the Yog Armor set, you'll require 40 Yoggies, meaning a total of 160 Yoggies for the complete set.
  3. Crafting Process:
    • Setup: Access a crafting table within the game.
    • Helmet: Place the Flamebreaker Helmet in the center slot of the crafting grid. Surround it with Yoggies in the remaining slots.
    • Chestplate: Repeat the process with the Flamebreaker Chestplate.
    • Leggings: Do the same with the Flamebreaker Leggings.
    • Boots: Lastly, use the Flamebreaker Boots and surround them with Yoggies.
    • After completing the crafting for each piece, you'll have a full set of Yog Armor!
  4. Enhancements:
    • Remember, while the Yog Armor is powerful on its own, it achieves its full potential when you kill Yogs while wearing it. Every 10 Yogs you defeat grants an extra +1⸕ Mining Speed, up to a whopping 500.
  5. Tips:
    • Consider using buffs and pets that increase your mining speed and overall efficiency. This not only helps in collecting Hard Stones faster but also in defeating Yogs efficiently.
    • Always keep an eye out for the best events, tools, and strategies to speed up your progress towards the Yog Armor. For instance, mining during the 'Gone With the Wind' event or using the Jungle Pickaxe can be hugely beneficial.

Comparison of Yog Armor with Flamebreaker Armor

Upon close examination:

  • Yog Armor has 5 less ❤ Health, 145 less ❈ Defense, and lacks 40 ☘ Mining Fortune compared to Flamebreaker.
  • However, it compensates with a potential 400 more ⸕ Mining Speed (after maximum Yogs are killed) and full immunity to Magma Fields' heat (Flamebreaker only slows the heat buildup).
  • Yog Armor also boasts a universal slot in place of the Ruby slot, permitting the addition of Topaz gemstones.

Given these trade-offs, Yog Armor is better suited for exploration in the Crystal Hollows, while Flamebreaker Armor holds an advantage in the Dwarven Mines.

Yog Armor Trivia

  1. The set bonus uniquely resides on the Yog Chestplate. Any trading or auctioning of this piece also transfers the bonus.
  2. Yog Armor, along with Sorrow Armor, are the exclusive armor sets equipped with Universal Gemstone Slots. These sets, together with Divan Armor, are the only ones compatible with Topaz Gemstones.

Tips for Fast Acquisition

  1. Mine During the Gone With the Wind Event: Utilize the wind compass for a substantial mining speed buff, making Hard Stone collection faster.
  2. Wear Glacite Armor: This armor grants considerable mining speed boosts, especially when combined with a silverfish pet for the Haze 3 effect, equivalent to 150 mining speed.
  3. Use an Armadillo: This creature lets you instantly mine vast amounts of Hard Stone. When paired with the compacting jet, enchanted Hard Stone is directly acquired.
  4. Invest in a Jungle Pickaxe: Available for 200 sludge juice, this pickaxe offers a remarkable mining speed bonus. Ensure it has a heated reforge, crafted with 128 hard stones and a stack of rough amber.
  5. Mind Your Y Level: While mining, pay attention to your Y level. This prevents entry into the dangerous magma fields, especially if you lack a legendary belt pet.

For an optimal experience, use ball bombs, obtained from nucleus runs, to mine large amounts of Hard Stone efficiently. Once mined, craft them into Enchanted Hard Stone via your sacks menu.

Conclusion

The Yog Armor is an exquisite blend of defense, health, and mining prowess. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned player, with the right strategy, the Yog Armor can become an invaluable part of your Hypixel Skyblock journey. Happy mining!
