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!

hrsaa is the goat. Didn’t try to scam, wasn’t in it to buy the exotics himself, just trying to help someone who in his eyes needed it.

The backstory from the intro reminds me of that one episode of SpongeBob, where Mr. Krabs sold a hat to SpongeBob for a cheap price, only to realize that the hat was actually *considered* priceless 😂

Not all for the exotics, the scammers are probably just in it for the money. The economy had inflated a lot and not all the new players know that and that’s partially what scammers use to trick the old players

Holy crap, the production value of this video is exceptional.

The actual staff showing you a tracking of the items in the original player's account is a funny af "this u?" moment

whats even more surprising is that you expect there not to be scammers in a game for children

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.

This is so wonderfully edited, love to see the care and thought you put into each of these vid's squid :)

this was really good, the editing was really nice and the video had great pacing as well. great video to come back with squid.

these dudes are so sweaty lmao they just have bots scanning for rare armor

You did not just use Lemminos Cipher in the fucking intro you maniac lmao

At 10:04 the guy who tried to scam you is actually a booster in the exotic cafe 😂

Man, it's been a while since I watched a vid from you. Great work on this one! Hope everything is going good for you

Haven't played skyblock in years but that's crazy how much depth the game has now, you'd need to play for months to understand how anything works in the economy

let me tell you, this is a super well produced video for a single person. Props to you from a pro cinematographer

I've never watched you squid but now I find your videos incredible. The animations are amazing and the structure of the video is great!

Props on this vid man. Longest skyblock related video I’ve watched in awhileeee

This was the most enjoyment I have experienced in a hypixel skyblock vid in a WHILE, thank you.

Skyblock almost feels like the younger generation’s runescape for learning about scams and that if something is too good to be true, it probably is Like how we most have a childhood memory getting scammed in an MMO Making the scammers bid against each other was hilarious

When did sky block turn into crypto scam simulator people trying to finesse the way onto the top by scamming young players for their exotic armor. Tricking them making them think that 50 million coins is worth their 2 billion coins worth armor.🤣

Dude when I first started skyblock I got given really good gear that kickstarted me really well, and then there was the disgusting price hiking of riding pigs when Technoblade passed. Skyblock has extremely varied players.

The editing is insane

Very cool and entertaining video! Thank you for creating this!

this is amazing and has truly changed my outlook on life itself. Artistic yet simple. inovative and genius. Creative but truly fun.This deservers an award worth bilions of dolars.Human history has been leading up to this not only is this the greatest piece of art but the greatest inventon ever truly amazing.I hope everyone in the world gets a chance to see this.

POV they try to scam u

great video. i "almost" got caught up in this myself; i apparently have dyed angler armor and so for a while i'd have people messaging me and party inviting me every time i logged on to hypixel (which tbf isn't often nowadays). i never even had to enter skyblock. i'd be trying to play an smp with some irls and id have people messaging me and party inviting me wanting to buy my armor. i knew i was never gonna sell it but i got rly lucky cuz the only time i decided to actually respond to one of them just to see wtf was up it was a nice guy like hsraa who explained everything to me and was super chill about the fact that i didnt want to sell it. haven't even gotten any msgs about it since then. glad to know i dodged a bullet haha

the oldest scam in skyblock history is the game itself

Bro the "YOUR ARMOR WAS EXOTIC" (beat-drop part) was amazing

this guy just taught me more business than a whole year business course

Glad you’re here squid, thanks for the content

good to know the staff there is accually doing their job and staying serious

Things we learnt: discord admins are so meticulous they will catch your goofy games

This reminded me that on my main account I bought exotic wise armor just after they became unobtainable at the time they went for 1.5 to 2x of undyed armor. I still have it on my acount, purple chest plate black pants white boots. That was actually my first ever set of dragon armor.

It's finally back and even more so with this incredible video :D

I´m gonna have to be that guy and complain that the title is wrong. From what i remember, buying ember rods by trading and switching them with blaze rods last second is the oldest scam i can remember. Not really hating, just stating. Nice video btw.

I just wanna say remember techno?

this was actually such an entertaining video, for the whole 20 minutes i was hooked

No more potato sign LMAOOO

Super cool skyblock video. You could tell the amount of time, effort, and work that was put into making it!

this is SO well made and I really enjoyed watching

These days even fairy and crystal stuff can go for quite a bit since those bugs got patched. A few months ago I sold white crystal dyed glacite armor for 40mil

I love how you finally uploaded! Excited to see more!

i still dont know if his accent was real or not it was so thick

Shocked you found an honest guy

very rare to find n actually good skyblock video nowadays this was great

probably one of the best skyblock videos ive watched, thanks for making this banger

wow this was an amazing video! Props to you for doing this and showing some of the shady world of exotic hunters

Did they find out who you really were? or just that you weren't who you were saying? I wonder what their reactions would have been when they found out that they were in the presence of the squid himself.

i actually love you so much for warning before the discord call sound

It's always good to see another squid kid post in your sub feed. Looking forward to future vids!😊

14:43 That sounds like you're saying "Ass" in Grrman xD

I play a smaller game (by comparison to hypixel) called roblox treasure quest I bought something back in 2019 and comepltey forgot about it and let it sit in my bank ( simailr to skyblock a bank) A few weeks ago I joined the game for the first time in a while and people kept offering for it like crazy, I later came to discover out of the few thousands of people that play it, I own an item that’s one of the rarest items in the game or smthn It’s crazy how old worthless items just blow up in value over time

that was actually amazing. was not expecting that but good job.

This video is quite an experience to watch! What a experiment.

There is no way. I haven’t rewatched potato war in a bit, i do it and i search your channel and you upload lol i am lucky

That's crazy. Nice job on the video!

This shows how a lot of people like swavy got their networth

Can you all feel the nostalgia while rewatching the great potato war?

even before watching the video im so happy that you brought out this very important messege to the worl that youtubers are the first scam in skyblock

The important thing to remember in skyblock is to do your research. Let them off all they want but reply “nah I’ll need to do some research first to see if it’s a fair price”

Really loved this storyline lmao

I love how you edited the exotic scanner :)

Bro woke up at 4pm? Wow, that's one bad sleep schedule

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

first skyblock video i watched in like a year, you're the best skyblock youtuber ezly

dude this editing is baller!

0:21 maybe it’s cuz you lost the potato war.

What is Joper doing in the video cover?

I can't believe I'm subscribing to an enemy of the state

This happened to me unfortunately, I was aproached by a guy offereing to buy my bat person chestplate for 10 mil, a bit later I sold my chestplate for 20m, not knowing that I had 1 of the 6 chestplates on the whole server
