    EDIT:
    ‼I made a quick part 2 for this video, its in the description so you should go watch it‼
    Hi guys! First off, sorry the long gaps of time between uploads (I'm working on it!).
    Second, please don't go and reach out to anyone featured in the video to harass them or anything, it's just not cool and doesn't help with anything.
    Lastly, if you want to see a little bit more of my content, I stream on twitch sometimes so if you want heres the link for that: www.twitch.tv/im_a_squid_kid
    Oh, and thanks for using code "squid" on the hypixel store, thanks guys! ❤ There's a sick fire sale right now!

    As someone who was in the exotic/crystal community for a while(I'm an ex-admin of Crystal Cafe), its surprising to see some people I know being mentioned in this video. Even I get messages like how much for my superior often because I have a low level which leads people into thinking that I wouldn't know the value of the set. Really just shows how far someone would go for a few more in-game digits.

    Funny story, I got scammed like this. I had fully black lapis armor and I sold it for something like 20m coins 😅
    That was 3 years ago and after coming back to skyblock recently I got rly salty. If I had a chance to undo that I would, not because I lost potential money but simply because I wouldn't have sold it at all today. Welp, too bad too sad, however I'm glad to see ppl trying to prevent this from happening to other players

    to this day I have a piece of exotic superior armor that I made green, and I literally kept it in a freaking vault so none of my coop members would steal it

    Im not here to say sharking is right or wrong ( ill say ive done it in the past ) but the way i view it is if a non with a rare setlogs om 1 time a year to collect stuff then logs off forever untill another year passes its just collectables never being passed around in the game when they could be

    This actually happened to me when I got back in skyblock. I was wearing my ember armor and didn’t know it was unobtainable and I traded it away for like 6 mil coins 😢

    So much malicious desperation over a cosmetic legacy in a block game. Thankfully it doesn’t affect smart people
    (I also heard Mojang is against servers that don’t cater to 10 year olds and if that’s a sword Mojang is willing to swing skyblock is screwed)
