Hello everyone!
With the launch approaching in just a couple of days, we felt that we mustn’t leave you guys in the dark. As many of you already know, management has undergone a major revamp. Factions Map 14 is nearly here and this is definitely a special one! We're going to be doing some stuff for Map 14 that we've only done once on BattleMade so far. All information in regards to that can be found below, however before you do that it is very important that you know the following:
BattleMade's Summer Sale is ending shortly meaning Ranks, Keys, GKits, Crates, and more will raise in price so be sure to take advantage of the sale while it lasts.

New season means a new spawn right? That's right! We have a New Spawn built giving everyone a warm welcome to the New & Improved Factions!

This is quite possibly the biggest key feature of this map. We've hired an amazing developer to recode some of the main functions of the server, and the Factions fork is one of them.
Mob coins can be obtained from killing mobs. They can be used in the "/transfer" GUI shop, which displays 6 weekly rotating items. Mob coins are very rare to obtain. (won't be like skyblock 
)

A past issue with Faction maps was the crazy custom enchantments that made PVP incredibly boring. This map, we've decided to simplify things by adding potion custom enchants. These will be things like speed, jump boost, etc, and can be purchased in the /enchanter GUI with EXP.
We've revamped the old printer system. All old issues are fixed.

This is a weekly event ran in the Warzone where OP bosses rise from the ground. More information on this will be reveled before it is ran.
In line with our community plan to increase player retention, we want to increase the amount of PVP that's happening on the server. KOTH events are now ran every 2 hours, and supply drops are ran every hour. We're also introducing a new event where a random pig will spawn somewhere in the Warzone with speed 5, and whoever kills it first will win some big prizes.
We've fixed the issue past map with fishing not working with MCMMO. Fishing rewards are rewards players randomly win from fishing. Fishing rods are also levelling, and better loot is won the higher the level. Legendary fishing rods are regular levelled rods but with better loot.
Bug Fixes
- We have finally identified and 100% fixed an issue that our backend has been experiencing for the past 2 months; expect absolutely no downtime (except for scheduled restarts), and faster queue times.
- Fixed a rare issue where players would crash whilst connecting (very rare)
- Added Battle Pass back to the server and made it worth it
- Revamped crate keys a lot
- Added a new “Rank” Crate Key
- Added a new “Reward” Crate Key - this key can be obtained from fishing, grinding MCMMO, and killing players. Is is lower-tier compared to other crates.
- Fixed TNT Wands not working with collectors
- Fixed all issues regarding harvester hoes
- Fixed F TNT
- Fixed all issues with Factions permissions (e.x. interacting with trapdoors, etc)
- Collectors are now integrated with Outpost
- KOTH Loot has been fixed
- KOTH Schedules have been fixed
- Disabled /warp in duels
- New kits and arenas have been added to /duel.
- Economy has been slightly modified to provide for a more competitive and less stagnant experience.
- ALL issues relating to the old printer system have been fixed
- Bow boosting is allowed
- All TPS issues have been resolved
- Battle Pass has finally gotten a well-needed revamp
- Shockwave Tools are flawless now (we've changed to a new system)
- We have changed our gen bucket system! Expect better server performance from this, and easier user usability.
Closing RemarksI hope to see all of you online Saturday for our big release.

Greetings everyone,
Guys, I am so excited to release skyblock! The setup for this server has been well tested for roughly 2 months, and we've had this server ready to release for quite a while. I believe this is the perfect time to launch it, as Factions Map 13 has went down. This will give you experienced try-hard factions players a chance to play something a bit more chill for once, before Factions Map 14 launches.
Before reading this post we highly recommend you watch our trailer to get a general idea of what this map is about!
REUPLOAD TRAILER BY DOWNLOADING THIS (IT CONTAINS ALL INFO NEEDED!): https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1hyyqkaau0ho7l/SkyblockTrailer.zip?dl=0
Before I delve into the details of this reset, please note the following date and times as to when we're launching Skyblock Heroes:
May 25th, 2019
3 PM EST / 12 PM PST / 8 PM GMT
3 PM EST / 12 PM PST / 8 PM GMT
For any other timezones, type "3PM EST" into Google, and the appropriate time will be displayed based on your location.
Server Details
The following information are the basic server details for our upcoming reset. To see new features, keep scrolling until you see the "Features" section.
Island Top - $1,000
As per usual, we'll be offering store vouchers and some PayPal prizes for those players that have the highest valuation islands. Island Top will work on this server very differently from others. As per every skyblock server, emerald / diamond / gold blocks will increase your value, but not by a lot.. The main thing that will increase your island top ranking will be sponges and beacons. These items can be won from events, crates, and from fishing or mining rewards. Please keep in mind, it will still be possible to win IS Top if you solely focus on spawners and valuables, rather than sponges and beacons, so don’t feel discouraged.These vouchers will be distributed every week from May 25th onward, until the map comes to a close. (5 weeks)
#1 - $40 PayPal / $45 Voucher
#2 - $45 Voucher
#3 - $40 Voucher
#4 - $20 Voucher
#5 - $10 Voucher
#2 - $45 Voucher
#3 - $40 Voucher

Features
Not only are we adding tons of new content on launch, but a series of weekly updates to keep gameplay fresh and exciting. These will include limited time kits, events, island themes, commands, and a whole lot more. The content listed below is what will be available on day-one of launch, with the rest of the new content being revealed close to their own launch on Discord.
Daily Challenges
This is a custom feature unique to BattleMade skyblock, inspired by CosmicPVP. Every day, a new challenge opens, and the player who can complete the most of the challenge will win the prize! For example, some challenges may be: who can kill the most mobs, who can kill the most players, who can mine the most blocks, who can claim the most tokens in a day, etc..
Minions
There are three minion types, and each can be purchased either in-game, or through our Buycraft store. The types are Miner, Farmer, and Slayer. Slayer kills mobs it’s facing, Farmer farms crops, and miner mines blocks it’s faced towards.
Fishing Rewards
Similar to factions, you can win rewards from fishing. This ties into MCMMO, as your MCMMO Fishing level lets you win better loot as it is levelled up. You can win Crate Keys, Spawners, and Money.
Island Missions
Similar to our previous Factions, we're introducing missions to Skyblock. View the current mission by typing /missions.

Outpost / KOTH
Outpost is an event where your island can control an area for buffed sell prices. This event will be enabled a few days after release.
Quarry Event
Is a new custom event exclusive to BattleMade skyblock. Essentially, islands will fight in an arena to capture the reactor core. This reactor core contains very rare items inside. Once a player right clicks the core, a cooldown of 30 seconds will start. After this cooldown, a chest will spawn with loot. Whatever island can be the last standing wins the loot!
Island Panel
There is a very clean /is GUI that can help you manage your island fairly quickly.
![[IMG]](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ucQMYmD5mYK6hc8xkXZPDOsoK0NABwY_hHRZJ10qtqn363yPH2LTlTBQUQ7wGIqfo5UTOhDiN11CfEleEzN4R-lPswXnyK9hdV5tvSbYviDpCZ9j8GJlhb5s9ottMQh_QA0PQsF1)
Bosses
Bosses will be rolled out in the form of content updates as the server progresses. There will be two tiers of bosses available on launch, with more on the way. Bosses can be spawned on your island, and killing them will yield you rare loot such as Monthly Crates, Keys, Perks, and more. The better the loot, the more difficult the boss will be. It is advised that you fight these bosses with your island members for maximum chance of success.
Crop Hoppers, Sell Wands, Chest Sell Signs, Harvester Hoes, etc
These are the basics every Skyblock server should have. Just thought I’d say them here!
Ranks
Ranks will not be transferred from Factions, as this is a separate realm. The ranks for this realm are all superhero/villain themed, and are relatively inexpensive!
- Flash
- Spiderman
- Hulk
- Thor
- Batman
- Hero
- Buycraft store is now updated with Skyblock items! http://store.battlemade.com
Closing Remarks
Please welcome yourselves to phase two of BattleMade. We're doubling down on development resources, content, influencers, and much more to make the experience ultimately great. I'm very excited to take BattleMadae to new heights. With best regards from the rest of the team and myself, we'll see you on May 25th for an absolutely amazing season.

Here is tonight's promised content update for Factions! I have taken a lot of suggestions you guys have had for the server and implemented them! Please read the changelog below:
• New filters system, learn about how to use it with /filters - pretty simple!
• Changed meteor shower time to 1 hour and BUFFED rewards
• Made legendary fishing rods more OP, you can now win crate keys from them
• Re-added scoreboard
• Re-added bounty, new system that's much cooler
As for these next features, I've implemented them to make the server more fun as I understand things do seem to die out towards the end of the map:
• New /missions system as we disabled battle pass this season. You complete challenges and win money / crate keys. Have fun grinding!
• NEW Treasure Goblin bosses available on buycraft, http://store.battlemade.com - you can win money, armor, crate keys, and other loot.
• Added a new weekly event called Treasure Goblin Hunt. This is an event where a boss spawns in the warzone, and players must look for it and defeat it. Once a player finds it (the boss gets hit) it will be announced in the chat with coordinates and whoever kills it first gets VERY op loot
GIVEAWAY FOR BATTLEMADE RANK! (top rank) To enter, simply reply to this post with your IGN.
There is an active sale at http://store.battlemade.com that is ending soon!
