Recipe Tree
Here's how to craft your Jungle Axe:
- 1 Jungle Axe (Wooden Axe)
- 3 Enchanted Jungle Woods
- 2 Sticks
Upgrading Your Jungle Axe
The Jungle Axe isn't just a one-trick pony. You can use various upgrades to enhance its performance:
- Axe Enchantments (SkyBlock items)
- Axe Reforges (Minecraft items)
- Recombobulator 3000 (SkyBlock items)
- Farming For Dummies (Minecraft items)
- Treecapitator (Golden Axe)
Most notably, you can transform your Jungle Axe into a Treecapitator after unlocking Obsidian Collection VIII. This upgrade requires 512 Enchanted Obsidian and one Jungle Axe.
Usage and Special Abilities
The Jungle Axe comes with a passive ability that lets it break multiple logs in a single hit. This makes foraging less tedious and more efficient. The axe can break 10 connected logs on a 2-second cooldown, which can be reduced to 1 second with a LEGENDARY Monkey Pet.
The Importance in Foraging Progression
According to a comprehensive YouTube video on foraging in Hypixel Skyblock, the skill is often considered slow and repetitive. The Jungle Axe is particularly useful in mid-game foraging, where its unique abilities make leveling up less of a chore.
For optimal efficiency, players recommend pairing the Jungle Axe with a Golden Axe. The Golden Axe's quick cooldown lets you alternate between the two axes, allowing for maximum woodcutting efficiency. Furthermore, Young Dragon Armor can significantly speed up your foraging process.
Strategy: Pet Swapping for Maximum Efficiency
In the late-game stage, you might want to look into pet swapping. This strategy involves using both the Monkey Pet for a faster cooldown on the Jungle Axe and the Ocelot Pet for a 30% foraging XP boost. You'll need to set up auto pet rules to make the most of this technique. This way, you can gain both the fast cooldown from the Monkey Pet and the XP boost from the Ocelot Pet.
Forging Ahead: What to Expect in Future Updates
While foraging currently might seem straightforward, developers have hinted at upcoming updates. So, investing in your foraging skill now may pay off later when new opportunities for earning money become available.
Conclusion
Whether you're in the early, mid, or late stages of foraging in Hypixel Skyblock, the Jungle Axe is a must-have tool. Its unique abilities and upgradability make it one of the best choices for anyone serious about leveling up their foraging skill.
So, ready your axes and happy foraging!
