Introduction
If you've been exploring the world of Hypixel Skyblock, you've likely come across the term "Rev Trading," especially during Derpy's reign. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? This article breaks down the ins and outs of Rev Trading in Hypixel Skyblock, helping you make the most of this unique feature. Plus, we will guide you through the best pets and locations to facilitate Rev Trading.
What is Rev Trading?
Rev Trading is the practice of infinitely trading revenant bosses between players. Essentially, when you kill another player's revenant boss, you earn enough XP to spawn your own boss. The other player then kills your boss, you kill theirs, and the cycle continues indefinitely. This activity becomes particularly efficient when Derpy is in charge due to a perk that offers 50% more skill XP.
How Does it Work?
To spawn a revenant boss, you need to accumulate a certain amount of combat XP by killing zombies. Usually, defeating a revenant boss grants around 4,000 XP. However, with Derpy's 50% skill XP boost, killing a revenant boss gives you over 6,000 XP, enough to spawn a Tier 5 rev immediately. To benefit fully from this method, you'll need to use a Wolf pet.
Pet Rules
When you start a Slayer quest, equip a Wolf pet. Once the revenant horror spawns, you can switch to any other pet—ideally, a Magic Find pet like the Golden Dragon. This boosts your chances of getting better items when the other player kills your boss.
Best Locations for Rev Trading
Hub Pond
This area offers a straightforward approach to Rev Trading. You can either spawn your boss there or lure it from elsewhere. The pond's layout makes it easy to kill the revenant bosses, as they struggle with swimming.
Crystal Hollows
This location offers two distinct ways to spawn your boss:
- Fishing: Fish up sea creatures in the jungle area, which count as zombies. Kill these to spawn your revenant boss.
- Lapis Layer: Use the escalator from the deep caverns to find the lapis layer that spawns lapis zombies. It's a more complicated but effective method, especially for parties.
Here, you can even trap the boss using hearthstones, making the process even more efficient.
Recommended Gear
You will want to use an Axe of the Shredded (AotS) to quickly kill the boss. For Magic Find setup, watch our detailed video (link in description). Remember, your Magic Find counts when another player is killing your boss, so adjust your gear accordingly.
Conclusion
Rev Trading in Hypixel Skyblock is a fantastic way to efficiently farm XP and items, especially during Derpy's rule. Remember to follow the pet rules, choose the right location, and equip the best gear for maximum efficiency.
