Hey everyone! On skyblock, after finishing a challenge a player is rewarded with a small amount of money and a dragon egg. However, some of the challenges actually take a while. For example, the monthly challenges will only reward $5,000 and a dragon egg, which is an extremely small reward considering those challenges often take hours to complete, along with a lot of resources (like enchanting 400 pants or breaking 500 mushroom blocks). While the cash reward is quite minuscule, most players do the challenges for the dragon eggs. Not because they're worth anything, mostly because they can sometimes serve as decoration. Most players will just buy the dragon egg, and not waste their time with a challenge, though. Something needs to be done about challenges. They are a way to get players to do something on skyblock instead of just stand around and chat or farm, yet they are not worth doing at all, so no one does them. The cash rewards need to be inflation-adjusted and increased, as a few thousand dollars isn't a lot even in the beginning of the season. Next, dragon eggs need to have a real value. They should be worth the work done in the challenge, as they are the reward. I've seen many players get a dragon egg and ask what it does, only to be met with messages saying they do nothing, and this is more or less true. For season 10, if they keep the challenges system, they should increase the island points/levels that dragon eggs give. Let me know what you think!
I 100% agree. Challenges are basically useless as there isn't a reward that would be worth your time when you could be doing more productive things. The rewards could also change, instead of a dragon egg it could be a mystery spawner for the weekly challenges, or $1,000,000 for weekly/monthly. They need to be appealing so players would actually want to spend their time doing them. A proper challenges leaderboard might also be a nice addition, and possibly the player who has done the most challenges in the month gets a mythical key? Just some thoughts..
