Resources would be a good item to spend on repairing sell chests, as they currently don’t really have a use (they were supposed to pay for build mode but you now get charged $ instead). A combination of resources and money would be balanced, with the price increasing as you repair each chest more
Repair price:
Resources (500 x [times repaired +1])
In game money (1m x [times repaired +1])

So for example, the first repair will cost $1m and 500 resources, and the 50th repair will cost $50m and 25k resources
I like it, would definitely force players to leave their island and not just afk 24/7, especially with how fast the increments of resources grows.

I dont use minions but i’m sure the sell chests duration inside minions probably work the same as when placed (whenever it’s active the timer goes down), i’ll have to check though.


tbh, i understand why they’re making the changes that they’re making, the economy was very flawed, specifically with bamboo and cactus, and they’re only trying to stop major inflation so early on. I dont agree with the removal of items from cubit shop and not being able to buy leg keys anymore, people are saying it’s a ‘cash grab’ or whatever, but they’re losing out on money due to it as people arent going to buy hundreds of ancient keys in the hope that they’ll get a few leg keys

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Islands have a sell chest duration by the end of the week, if they haven’t got it already
Lmao, i didn't even hear about no more legendary keys, smh. Islands doesn't have monthly payouts and thus has a lot less sweating going on. Hopefully that'll keep us separate.

I got 1 2nd Tier Sell chest in cubit shop before. I'm not a P2W player, I'm a broke ass student. Getting 25 cubits took me quite a while, it wasn't easy tho. Now it has an expiration timer, it made me think that maybe I shouldn't have bought the sell chest, all the hard work I've put into saving cubits (without cf-ing them) kinda wasted lol

I understand how minecraft servers are generally just a dictatorship, and changes are made that players find annoying, but this is unacceptable. Players spent 25 cubits per chest and there was never even a official mention of any type of duration or limitation on how long you could use them. Yall screwed over anyone who had purchased them because they thought they would be permanent, after Pizza said the map would last months. I agree that they can be very powerful, but they have the price tag to match their value.

All this nerf accomplished was to hurt new players, and players who aren't "rich" yet. A whole month will still provide tremendous value. The issue isn't that a month is too short to make value off it, the issue is that mid season you guys are changing thing after thing on us, and you made people waste $100s on chests that they will lose in only 30d.

The idea to add repairing is better than nothing, and I support it if they don't remove the timer on chests. It'll at least he'll the people who got ripped off by buying the chests not feel as bad about it. But seriously, stop trying to mess with the eco every other day.. first it was bamboo nerf, then Cactus buff.. into a Cactus and bamboo nerf again, ig buff, minion buff, and now a sell chest nerf. These are the types of changes you make BEFORE a map where it won't just screw over players.

#SaveTheChests ;-;
Best comment here tbh, the constant change in the eco is making it hard for us to decide what farms we need to build to keep up, it needs to be changed once and only once.

I think its unfair that people already paid for some under the idea that it was permanent. I feel like they should be privately offered refunds if that aspect is going to be kept changed. If they would've paid for it anyway, they'll say no to the refund or buy it again later. And if they dont, then they clearly wouldnt have bought it if they'd known it was going to be drastically changed and its a bit rude to mislead people that way and misrepresent the product.

Maybe refunds were already offered to players? If so just ignore me.

This 100%, that's a massive reason why they conned a ton of cubits out of people who waited such a long time to get them legitimately and slowly.

If sellchests are endless, rich players will invest 200-500 USD or more in leg keys, put the chests into their minions, become super rich and stay super rich the whole season. Noone will have a chance to beat them later. Does everyone want that? If yes, then remove the 30 days thing. - Or do nothing, then (nearly) noone will spend money for the keys. - On the other side some players already bought sellchests and chunk hoppers. Making them 30 days now is totally unfair. - Difficult situation...

Still doesn't make sense to me why we can't buy them with cubits anymore. With the 30 day duration ofc they have to change that 20-25 price. Like I wouldn't mind having to buy more, thats why I grinded cubits.

I and others were screwed out of end-of-season payouts for Islands and Oasis, as well as payouts for the last fewf months those servers were up. They change things without warning and sometimes without a single mention. Survival or Prison servers, I forget which, actually got their legend/trophies, but none of the Skyblock servers ever did. For last season or the season before.
It's like they dont need to honor a single one of their words. Theyre void of meaning.

However we need a viable way to get sell chests, currently youd need to spend literally over $1000 to get ONE sell I chest

Like many other people, I find the timer dumb. I find it even worst than it was changed for most realms mid-season. This means people who thought that they would have it the whole season now have to spend more cubits to get new sell chests than they will earn with them.

+1 For an item with a near 0% chance of being acquired, it needs to be so much better
