PATCH 

[January 28] Reducing NPC Sell Price of Corrupted Fragments

Updated: January 28, 2025

Hey Everyone!

Today we're releasing a couple changes:

  • Fix Pest Traps rolling for wrong amount of time.
  • Corrupted Fragments now sell for 1 coin to NPCs rather than 20 coins.
  • Preparations for the Year 400 event.

However, we wanted to bring the attention to one change in particular, with the intent of fixing a current economic imbalance within SkyBlock.

  • Corrupted Fragments now sell for 1 coin to NPCs rather than 20 coins.

At the time of writing this, Automated Shipping (Minion Hoppers) are responsible for 53% of all coin generation within SkyBlock, which contributes heavily to inflation in the game. In a perfect scenario, to combat inflation, the balance of coin generation and coin removal from the game needs to be close, and we will continue to make adjustments in the game to ensure this balance is maintained as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, players running Slime Minion setups are generating far too many coins every day, through corrupted fragments. This sell price nerf only applies to corrupted fragments.

We understand that this is a frustrating change for those of you who have sunk coins into your Minion setups, but it is necessary for us to make this change to maintain a healthy economy. Inflation hurts the playerbase as it makes everything more expensive, creating a vicious cycle where players feel the need to exploit these heavy money making schemes to even be able to compete in the market, causing inflation to grow further out of control. We still want players to be able to earn passive income, but things were getting out of hand on this specific method.

At this time, we do not have any plans to revisit the sell price of corrupted fragments.

Thank you for your time.
