A couple of things to note that I left out of the video: - Pricing will be slightly off as of 01/03/2024 (DD/MM/YYYY). This is because of the recent changes to the end island, which is currently released on the alpha network and is yet to be released to the main game. This has drastically artificially inflated ALL dragon prices, so the pricing in this video will be cheaper than what you see right now, in game. Once this update is actually released and the game has time to settle down, the pricing should eventually go back to normal and be more accurate to this video. - Renowned Superior gives 32,564 EHP instead of the 26,346 that Ancient Superior gives. Renowned is more expensive though, and it has a 20% gap compared to Shadow Assassin instead of 10%, so generally I wouldn't say it's worth it bc now you're overcompensating EHP, while losing out on damage

You never covered the best early game setup. The best early game setup is to start by building a cobblestone generator and mining cobble until you have a leg rock pet. That will get you you to 15m. Use the 15m to buy full strong dragon, an aspect of the end, and a warped stone. total cost, only about 8m. Now you can either go do a few commissions (mining xp is way easier to get than when we started) or you can find a random with mining 26 (or you can buy off ah for an extra 5m). In another video you said the best early game sword is aspect of the dragons. Combining your mixed setup with the aspect of the dragons costs you 9m and you get 225 damage, 186 strength and 76 crit damage. You can add an extra 60 strength and 40 crit damage with fabled for an extra 1m. With a warped aspect of the end and strong dragon you will have 340 damage, 365 strength and 150 intel for only 8m. If you include the dragonfuse glove and it brings mixed cost up to 19m and increases damage by 35 and strength by 50, still nowhere near enough to catch up with the aspect, which again is less than half the price. Plus if you want, you can spend 5m to upgrade it to an AotV for an extra 20 damage, and you could buy a rare enderman pet (for practically free) or an epic enderman (for just a few hundred coins) for 40 or 50 extra damage for 5 seconds after teleporting (pretty easy to just right click the ground every 5 seconds. I believe all of those numbers are correct, but feel free to reply with corrections and I'll edit if they aren't. This would make this the cheapest set (besides plain dragon with an aspect of the dragons) and better than practically everything on this list, for melee and lcm. I really hope you or other people see this comment, cus I never here anyone talking about it, but this setup is so good.

Just before anyone says smt about epic blaze pet, yes, it does give the armor Stat buff still, BUT the damage will only be equal to necrons, not better. The 40% buff nolonger affects damage stats, so all the extra damage comes from the legendary 2x potato books.

Thank you for listening to your comments man. Last video i commented on an armour progression guide and u did it. if u can create some videos on ironman profile Anyways great video with amazing editing yet again

Hey great video. Where can i get texture pack for the superior helmet coz when iam using furfsky superior helm doesnt change and lookis kinda wierd with retextured armor.

Always fire whenever you drop a video

hey man i just wanted to ask what client od you use?

Do you think it’s worth spending coins on a Reaper Falchion or AOTS for Zombie Slayer, or would it just be better to use my traditional Shadow Fury or Giant’s Sword?

I have pre purchased my shadow assassin and livid dagger a long time ago so that I can immediately use it after completing floor 5. I haven't played for over a year and right now I am on unstable dragon armor with an aotd. I do have some money for not playing for a while (almost 20mil). What do you think I should spend my money for progressing dungeons more?

In my opinion for the necron set you could have used a lion pet to make the comparison more fair since lion's price is similar to blaze and it is better than wither skeleton. But other than that, this video is pretty good and helpful for newer players. Keep up the good work👍

is 3/4 necron better then full or what helm are u useing in higher master dungeons?

Hey ModernSoldier, I recently tried to downlaod your mod folder but the mod skyblockaddons didn't work for me I tried with a different forge version but it still not working ...

Glad you mentioned Frozen Blaze, you may have not gone into DETAIL into the armor set but obviously it isn't the point of the video. I just want to note that if you have seen Nuclear fuels video on Frozen Blaze pet + blaze pet vs Necron armor + baby yeti + GDrag and EDrag. Frozen blaze isn't as good without master stars, because of the blaze pets bonus of upgrading everything on it by 40%. It can actually outdamage Necron + Edrag very slightly while only being 100m+. I do also want to note that it's only good for higher cata levels and it also needs to have a lot of upgrades. The one downside is that it IS petlocked. But Frozen blaze should solely be used inside of dungeons. This is because the blazes 40% bonus actually scales with cata levels if I'm not mistaken. Until you get into MM7, it should be an insane armor set for late/endgame. Other than that, Great video Modern soldier! You and Fanku make a great duo when it comes into making great and informational videos.

@ch3z_0

2 ай бұрын

Well, considering it being super tanky and reliable in terms of survivablity. It’s very possible that it gonna be able to be used in MM7. However, for the dragons. E drag will be more useful because of the perk that it will do 200% more damage to end mobs (Granted it is additive so it’s more like 25% in multiplicative). The only thing is. If you try to join an M7 party with frozen blaze, they’re probably going to kick you because the majority of M7 players are using necron armour. The main reason people use necron is because it isn’t petlocked, unlike frozen blaze. But, frozen blaze is a set only to be used in dungeons (because it scales exponentially with the blaze pet). I personally say just use crimson outside of dungeons. But will you be using different pets in dungeons? Probably not. So yea, It’s probably going to be good in M7. I - myself is also an FB user and will be using it in M7 eventually.

Ended up getting frozen blaze for much cheaper by setting blaze minions and grinding ice during January (full month jerry workshop)

When my ironman profile that I started about a half a year ago is more advanced in terms of collection than my main profile that I started 3 years ago even though my ironman has less advanced gear.. yeah, it be like that sometimes.

strong dragon + aspect of the void carries me through earlygame (you can get an aote first its still good with the right stuff)

For outside of dungeons with SA I would use crimson cp as it is cheap and massive buff

Whwt mods do u use the link in desc aint workin

u can also use perfect with shadow assassin if u dont hav enough defence

[this is for people who aint ironman] crimson armor that doubles your dam and has better dam stats then superior and better then sa if you star it a couple of times. It can also do t4 sven, rev, spider and a lot of early game stuff. costs less then sa armor and requires combat 22. DO bestiary its op and after combat 22 and if you need an armor set for before this full unstable and grind spiders den zombies and deep caverns also goblins and glaciate walkers are good and deep caverns you can get loot share cores. save bestiary for golden dragon. crimson armor is slightly worse than necron but swipe is still insane, also if you do kuudra in crimson isles is better in every way btw you can upgrade it to first 10 stars before kuudra. boots 300k, helm 300k which can be replaced for tarantula helm for more dps and it keeps its ability's, leggings 400k, chestplate 500k. this is the prices from the time this comment was made. also, i know it has bad defense around equal to sa, but later on you can do half necron half crimson cause its ability can combo.

As a ironman player, im in love with Superior Dragon Set, while shadow assassin gives good damage on Dungeons, Superior Set gave me survability in F6 and got me the Giant's Sword. Tho, with the new Dragon Set coming to skyblock, im not sure if even Necron Armor will be viable.

Please update ur pricings cuz even tho Wither ess used to be more expensive now dragon ess almost double the price of wither essence and sa setup now costs around 7.6M to fully 5star while Suprerior costs around 16.2M which more than double. So SA setup = 25m-27m where Superior is 36m(10M more/almost 37% more) so i wouldnt really go for a 10% decreased dmg and 20% more Ehp Setup that costs 37% more.
