Something different for you all today. Been working pretty much nonstop on this for over a week now, let me know what you think of it, constructive criticism is always welcome. Also let me know if you have any ideas for future episodes if want this to be a series! Join the Discord if you wanna let me know I'm stupid or something: discord.gg/powliner
Love the way this video was put together, I can physically feel the hours you spent working on it. I was going to try and find something to give as constructive criticism but I literally couldn't come up with anything. Props to you my man, keep up with these bangers!
oh and I also wanted to mention that I really liked this style of video (the analyzing the history of something in Skyblock type). Another possible item you could do would be the Warden Helmet (I was gonna do a video about it's history and position in the meta over time but then I decided to take an extended break from youtube so that never got to happen). You could also potentially analyze the history of different Skyblock youtubers.
Thx big man, comments like these are really appreciated :) Oo yeah Warden's a good one although I feel like more history needs to happen with it. Like currently it's just been the best choice always since it's come out so it's not that interesting if you get what I mean.
@@hazhaki7603 what?! That’s litterally the best thing a viewer can do, are you ill? When people that WATCH the videos tell you there something you did great but could do better it helps you do it better
I can just feel that in a year Powliner will make a video called "The rise and fall of the Hyperion" after admins nerf it into the floor. It is the meta for non-mastermode, voidglooms, the minibosses on the crimson isle and Kuudra. It is too overpow9 (hence the 1.2b price tag) and soon there will be a "Game Health" updated nerfing it through the floor. Also amazing video Powliner, the animations were great
As a midas enjoyer im glad you made this video of the legacy of that sword. It still sits in my inventory to this day. However i must say you may have forgotten to mention that the midas sword almost got a buff because 50mmidas was almost elected during tge dante revolution, which problably brought a buff with it. Otherwise this video is great, looks even fantastic and i hope your cat will when fed actually obtain magic find Keep on going man
The Midas Sword is in a weird position in Skyblock, was once considered the Best Sword in the game and now it’s just a meme sword. Spending 50 mil to power up a sword only to still be a meme kinda shows how bad power creep happened in this game.
The issue isn't power creep, as even though new items are better than older ones, it's happening at a slow, reasonable rate. The issue with the Midas is that the way you get it makes it in particular not viable compared to other things. The issue isn't power creep, the issue is the weapon was not designed with the future of the game in mind.
The original 10 floor plan wouldn't have made power creep that big of an issue (floor 7 stuff = f10, not stronger) but then skyblock would have been all just dungeons. And idk, master mode should have got harder slower I guess
You are one of the most sb utubers ever, u teach us and new players all the history in such a fun and amazing way! I would like to meet u one day in sb
I left Skyblock back when the best weapon was the reaper scythe and gifted everything I had back then. I just came back to play with a friend and this video really helps a lot to understand what has happened. I see the end is still being abused for money lol
The production on this video was absolutely incredible. Keep it up. (My two cents would be to reduce the number of memes and silly sound effects to make it more immersive, like a lemmino video)
I would like to see a new game plus mode. It would be like completely its own economy separate from the old one. And it would shake up the items, stats, enemies and just generally implement radical balance changes that would otherwise be healthy but not be acceptable on the old economy where people have done much investment.
the 50m midas was the hyperion of OG skyblock, an overpowered item, unobtainable for most, but extremely powerful, though eventually they became much more commonplace (as did hyperions)
i don’t remember how long i haven’t been to hypixel sb like 4 months or something, i get bored because i have to grind alot in this game, farming wart and other crops while falling asleep every couple minutes can tell how i feel about grinding, still back then i manage to get into bah once and well come out with nothing because im broke
That was also way less time consuming to get the best weapon in the game than nowadays. ~130m for hypermaxed midas is almost nothing in comparison to 3.4b hypermaxed claymore (or 4.5b for shiny hyperion but there's no point in putting chimera 5 on it)
But the aote was never mentioned (they keep adding buffs and i think they keep forgetting that they added them it gets funnier every time) (please it has 390 damage 305 strength 100 cd 85 intel with a 12 block aote range and a dungeon item)
At least now you can use it to get a higher museum value based on the ammount of coins you spend on it. Easy 2.1b museum with 1 item for bank upgrades.
y'know, the duality of golden and ender dragon is the exact same as midas and aotd, except just on a bigger scale. if it's ever possible for edrag's price to lower, it'd be the exact same as the aotd's price lowering. since getting a golden dragon is a flat price of 500m + perfect gemstones and gold, similar to the midas sword's flat price of 50m coins
E Drag would actually have to go up since a Level 200 G Drag costs well over 1B coins, but other than that you're actually right yeah. Although G Drag is generally preferred so I doubt E Drag will ever go up that much
"shadow fury dynasty" No the livid dagger the first two weeks f5 was out basically had overload 5 attached to it and it completely broke the game until it was nerfed
will def be making more of it! I first thought of doing one on the Hyperion (and Valkyrie, Scylla, Astraea all in one vid) but I realized that I wanna get the style a bit more down before then so I wanted to make a smaller project first. That's gonna be a crazy long video but I'll make it as good as I can! Also thanks a lot for the donation :D
2:30 the reason deo got it so late is because he fell into the void and lost 25 mil coin not because 50 mil is a big number while yes it is he would of got it faster

Why did u ignore me powliner please my ign is opesta please unignore me I love ur content
Can you make a video on the rise and rise of the aotj

@@FormerlyAMuffindont care didnt ask plus your mom likes minors
This aged well
POV: Admins watching this video in 2024 and thinking "Why don't make it the best meler weapon in the game". This video needs to be updated
Powliner left tho 💀
@@lilandch4rrhe hasn't
@@lilandch4rrhe appears in others video
Back then btw hardened diamond was actually really good compared to other armour sets
and tryharders went for EMERALD ARMOR, lmao I miss it.
@@caiodaltro4208 and magma armour too
ikik but it's still funny. The rich donnies went for Emerald/Magma though
@@Powliner yup
then ember
“The Midas despawned in my sugar cane farm please help”
I feel you
please do more! this was amazing, we need more of this documentary-style content for skyblock
So glad you got this finished. As someone who knows how hard you worked on this in very proud rn

I hope that doesn't happen lmaoo
the kudraa armor sets are already better when upgraded than the wither armor sets outside of dungeon so it shall happen
@@cuminmeass happens to all the meta stuff, they realize its too strong and nerf it
nah it wont happen when the admins nerf it, it will happen when the admins release a better weapon
Still hasn't happened
250m midas on the rise!
the editing is impressive. cant imagine how long this took keep it up!
it took 2 years, but this is outdated, and its better than GS and claymore. thanks hypixel
As a midas enjoyer im glad you made this video of the legacy of that sword. It still sits in my inventory to this day. However i must say you may have forgotten to mention that the midas sword almost got a buff because 50mmidas was almost elected during tge dante revolution, which problably brought a buff with it.

Keep on going man
and it will now shine again with the 250m buff
I genuinely love this video, it’s like dramatic sword telling, this is a very great vid, and I hope I can see some more vids like this one:)
Bro makes the best hypixel skyblock content. Nobody can compete with him sneaking to subscribe every video in a unique way.

@@arttukettunen5757 yea. they difference in price and dificulty between f6 and f7 is massive. releasing just 7 floors was a mistake
@@captncuddlybear9404 what's reasonable about dropping gear that destroyed the state of the game with no requirements?
@@captncuddlybear9404Honestly, though, they could change the 50M cap to something like 1b, allowing it to compete with the best of them
powliner at 3:23 you should have said "No dungeons, no enderman slayer, no crimson isle and no bitche-"
It’s in our hearts that will never lose value.
I cant believe skyblock has been out for over 3 years... it feels like just yesterday when I got hardend diamond
You are one of the most sb utubers ever, u teach us and new players all the history in such a fun and amazing way! I would like to meet u one day in sb
I left Skyblock back when the best weapon was the reaper scythe and gifted everything I had back then.
I just came back to play with a friend and this video really helps a lot to understand what has happened.
I see the end is still being abused for money lol
fantastic video, i really loved all the clips from other ytbers! really took me back :)
Thx man! Glad you liked it :)
Part 2 when since the upcoming mayor update makes Midas almost as good as gs
A Midas spear would be really cool since now they messing with weapon range in the dark claymore.
when fel sword is better than 50m midas at 10k kills
New Mayors update: powliner prediction was goog
50mill Midas mistaken as 50mill Midas staff imagine
This is the best Skyblock video I have ever seeen no joke
The production on this video was absolutely incredible. Keep it up.
(My two cents would be to reduce the number of memes and silly sound effects to make it more immersive, like a lemmino video)
well, now I guess it really did come back
Next vid: Rise an Fall of the Superior Dragon Armor
It finally happened, it got buffed..
Cool vid about what I would say is the coolest weapon in skyblock
But it’s not about the aotj
Love the style and editing of this video! Possibly you could also do this with "The rise and fall of bonemerangs" or something
I would like to see a new game plus mode. It would be like completely its own economy separate from the old one. And it would shake up the items, stats, enemies and just generally implement radical balance changes that would otherwise be healthy but not be acceptable on the old economy where people have done much investment.
This is a really cool video, keep it up man.
I also never want to see or hear you laugh like that again.
this video was great! you should definitely do more of these documentary style videos
i want to be back in time when money in skyblock generally was something to be proud of
it's crazy just how much the admins love the midas sword.
the 50m midas was the hyperion of OG skyblock, an overpowered item, unobtainable for most, but extremely powerful, though eventually they became much more commonplace (as did hyperions)
why that video was so good to the point that I went to the comments section and didn't think what to write
glad u liked it man thx for the compliments :)
@@Powliner thank you for keeping us happy
The Vsauce at 5:42 killed me I swear I was laughing so hard
Genuinely such a good gimmick, they could really make this a meta item, but everyone just forgor 💀
Midas staff carries on the legacy
@@iMrPoshtart It's fixed
Thank you so much for adding in speed silver's video dude it was the first thing that came to my mind
Pls do more of this type of video, I find it very entertaining :D
2:02 ratfraction being sus for the 209th time
"i am the best sword in the game"
dungeons: "and i took that personally"
This video's editing is rated G for Goog+.
U get an A+ for the wonderful well described PowerPoint presentation
i don’t remember how long i haven’t been to hypixel sb like 4 months or something, i get bored because i have to grind alot in this game, farming wart and other crops while falling asleep every couple minutes can tell how i feel about grinding, still back then i manage to get into bah once and well come out with nothing because im broke
its back
Hello Powliner, Thank you very much for buying my golden bonzo head on the hypixel auction house.
Crazy how 50m Midas was considered end-late game 2 years ago 💀
That was also way less time consuming to get the best weapon in the game than nowadays.
~130m for hypermaxed midas is almost nothing in comparison to 3.4b hypermaxed claymore (or 4.5b for shiny hyperion but there's no point in putting chimera 5 on it)
But the aote was never mentioned (they keep adding buffs and i think they keep forgetting that they added them it gets funnier every time) (please it has 390 damage 305 strength 100 cd 85 intel with a 12 block aote range and a dungeon item)
I could've mentioned it yeah, but Livid and Shadow Fury were generally preferred for damage
I haven’t played skyblock since the release of the dungeons update and hearing now that the AotD is a EARLY GAME weapon is so shocking
In that time the Midas Sword is like the Hyperion in nowdays.
This video is actually very fun to see . So you can make more of these pls uwu love you
At least now you can use it to get a higher museum value based on the ammount of coins you spend on it. Easy 2.1b museum with 1 item for bank upgrades.
y'know, the duality of golden and ender dragon is the exact same as midas and aotd, except just on a bigger scale. if it's ever possible for edrag's price to lower, it'd be the exact same as the aotd's price lowering. since getting a golden dragon is a flat price of 500m + perfect gemstones and gold, similar to the midas sword's flat price of 50m coins
E Drag would actually have to go up since a Level 200 G Drag costs well over 1B coins, but other than that you're actually right yeah. Although G Drag is generally preferred so I doubt E Drag will ever go up that much
Golden dragon will always be strong and e-drag will continue to rise in price
i like the new style of video
Thank you mr. Fan
Wow this video feels like a bit of different style and i like it :)
e
Hi powliner. Just wanna say I love your videos. Keep it up
Speed silver , old hub these bring back the good memories
Bruh
My friend still has his original 50M Midas from the days when it was king of all swords.
loving how timedeo getting the midas sword was uploaded right on my bday
i mean at least hyperion will stay good for a while seeing as we just got our yearly update
You make every video 100x better with your editing :D
this sword was a legend.. RIP that midas aye
Day 1 of professional thumbnail man asking for professional other thumbnail mans tutorial
I remember selling my superior set and 50m midas around the time the first 3 floors came out and boy am I glad I did.
how to get your hotbar to the left side
APEC mod
This vid was straight up Morbin dude!
the way inflation is going, a 50mil midas is gonna be a great early game weapon
I'm sorry to hear that your Midas despawned
i miss the good ol days of the Midas stick
Technically the reaper scythe would be better than the Midas which came out in slayer update
my stomach hurts ughhh. i been in the bathroom for over 30 mins and i been watching these vids
Nice video, i really liked your pacing and the video in general. 👍
Man the only sword with a great legacy that is good today is the aspect of the dragons. Interesting to see how much the game has changed.
AotE as well, but that's moreso for it's ability being so broken
"shadow fury dynasty" No the livid dagger the first two weeks f5 was out basically had overload 5 attached to it and it completely broke the game until it was nerfed
now that we have better mayor update i guess we have the rise again
Back in the days I bought a livid dagger doe 120mil coins which was a absurd amount back then
at least, midas spoon has risen again
HUGE nostalgia trip
“I need to feed my cat”lol
one of powliners best vids
45k damage for 50M is crazy af
So sadly real
Aged like fine wine
bruh this video really brings me back
bro ya gotta make more videos like this in a commentary skyblock style whit this style of editing
Amazing video! I hope there is more of this type of content in the future ;)
Have a nice day
will def be making more of it! I first thought of doing one on the Hyperion (and Valkyrie, Scylla, Astraea all in one vid) but I realized that I wanna get the style a bit more down before then so I wanted to make a smaller project first. That's gonna be a crazy long video but I'll make it as good as I can!
Also thanks a lot for the donation :D
2:30 the reason deo got it so late is because he fell into the void and lost 25 mil coin not because 50 mil is a big number while yes it is he would of got it faster
New hypixel skyblock players will never understand the stress we went under bidding on the midas sword
and rises again
congrats on 69.9k subs man!
now it's rise fall and rise lol new video when
Midas Sword: Im the best sword in the game
Ender Dragon Pet: *buffs AOTD* bye bye old man
The clip of the edrag have me flashbacks, old ah 😣
Midas sword: I love being the best sword
Livid dagger: I'm about to end this man's whole career
