Hello!
Welcome to SkyBlock Patch 0.19.6. This update contains permanent Spooky content in the form of The Great Spook, several additions and changes to Essence Shops, and much more!
► Great Spook 2023
This year, the arcane master known as the Tyashoi Alchemist re-emerges from the veil of mystery to aid players in banishing The Great Spook!
Will you succeed or completely fail? Time will tell!
Like the previous year, you have access to the 2021 and 2022 hunts and their items.
However the 6 new hunts will be revealed day by day, starting from today.
Click on the items in his shop to reveal the clues to find them, good luck!
>>
EDIT: As a result of the spectacular efforts of you all, The Great Spook has arisen! The event will last from October 30th to November 6th. Happy spooking!
>>
In a shocking twist, The Great Spook will unleash its terror on the 6th day, once all new hunts are completed. Turns out, the Tyashoi Alchemist is actually terrible at his job; he may have actually accelerated the arrival of The Great Spook!
New Mechanics: Primal Fears and Dark Candies
During the Great Spook Event, players will occasionally encounter Primal Fears while defeating mobs. These entities are simple to defeat but beware—they can manifest as YOUR primal fear. From Math Teachers to Commitment Phobia, each Primal Fear has a unique trick for defeating it.
Milestones and Rewards
Defeating Primal Fears will drop Dark Candies, and you'll also find the Tombstone of Vargul the Unearthed at the back of Hub Island. Donating enough Dark Candies to Vargul will unlock various new items.
Good luck, and don't get spooked!

- Fixed Jinxed and regular Voodoo Dolls not sharing their ability cooldown.
- Piggy Bank now no longer breaks if you have at least two pieces of armor enchanted with Bank V.
- InfinityBoom TNT’s rarity has been changed from RARE to EPIC, making it easier to distinguish from regular superboom.

► Bug Fixes
Combat Fixes
- Fixed Zealot Bruiser Hideout being unlocked from a random location in the End Island Caves.
- Fixed hits from extended Swing Range sometimes not applying damage correctly.
- This caused unintended behavior, e.g. against Typhoeus and Quazii where hits “don’t deal damage”.
Mining Fixes
- Fixed being able to reset your Sky Mall perk when resetting your Heart of the Mountain.
- Fixed being able to give Rhys the same item multiple times by switching instances during the dwarven mines quest.
- Fixed a Mithril Block in the Dwarven Mines which couldn’t be mined.
- Fixed Ragnarok's damage boost (Berserker class ability) working on all damage instead of melee only.
- Fixed a way to drop multiple Spirit Bows at the same time during Thorn's boss fight.
- It's a common strategy to abuse this bug to get Spirit Bows faster. While it is not intended for players to get bows in such quick succession, we have taken this opportunity to tweak the boss fight to make it playable without the bug. M4 now has the same spawning mechanics of 1 bear per spawn as F4, requiring slightly more mob kills to spawn each bear. This change is open to further adjustments to spawn the bears faster overall.
Misc. Fixes

- Fixed being able to upgrade Arthur's wheat minion in the hub.

- Fixed Shadow Assassin and Adaptive Armor bonus requiring the equipment to be worn.
- Fixed Magical Power not being calculated correctly in specific cases.
- Fixed being able to do damage to Stranded villagers using Flaming Fist while visiting an island.
- Fixed players being unable to use their private islands due to their spawn points being out of bounds.
- Fixed the unobtainable item "Aspect of the Draconic" showing up in the Essence and Gemstone guides.
- Fixed donating the Bone Reaver not crediting the Spirit Sword in the museum.
- Fixed accessing the Hex through the Booster Cookie menu on Stranded.
- Fixed the armor set count display when mixing upgraded and non-upgraded pieces of an armor set.
- Fixed Jotraeline Greatforge not being aware of the Abiphone Flip being the latest released Abiphone in her contact quest.
- Fixed an inconsistency with viewing details in the slayer menu.
- Fixed clicking Montezuma in The Rift's SkyBlock Menu.
