Changelog/2024/February 28

Hello!
It's time for some more testing of SkyBlock content on the Alpha Network. Today's additions include the following:
* Dragon Rush and Primal Dragons
* Tablist Widgets
* General's Medallion Accessory
* Pet Buffs and Reworks
* ... and more!
Read on for more details about them!
== ► Dragon Rush and Primal Dragons ==
The End Island was introduced very early in SkyBlock with a central dragon fight in the Dragon's Nest. With this update, we're introducing a fun new twist that allows you to fight multiple dragons at the same time and a new dragon type: The Primal Dragon! These new events can only occur by placing Awakened Summoning Eyes on the altar, a new item crafted with 8x Summoning Eyes and 2x Null Ovoids. Try them out on the Alpha Network!
== ► Tablist Widgets ==
You've seen this one before! Thanks to your suggestions, we've greatly improved a lot of things regarding Tablist Widgets. Looking forward for some more feedback about them when you've checked them out this alpha session.Hypixel Team said:
On most islands, the tablist will be replaced by a customizable tablist which contains so-called widgets. You can change your settings using the SkyBlock settings menu or running the /widgets command.
== ► General's Medallion ==
General's Medallion is a new accessory that you can obtain from dungeons. Look for Zodd in a new dungeon room to purchase one from him!
General's Medallion boosts your dungeon item stats. The amount this accessory boosts your stats by scales off of your secret count. As we currently do not track your secret count per profile, we've done some magic to split your secret count among all eligible profiles.
EDIT: Secret Count migration will not work on Alpha as your achievement data is not migrated over. This is a known issue.
== ► Pet Buffs and Reworks ==
Nothing much to see here, just a dozen or so changes to pet stats, perks, and even perk reworks. Open the spoiler below to see the full list of changes.
Code:
 ## Ghoul Pet
 
 ### Base Stats
 
 - The Vitality from “Amplified Healing” should become a pet stat instead. The “Undead Slayer” perk (see below) should replace “Amplified Healing”.
 - Add Mending to the pet’s base stats equal to the amount of vitality it has.
 
 ### Undead Slayer (Replacement of “Amplified Healing”)
 
 - Gain 1.005x ➜ 1.5x Combat XP against Zombies.
 
 ### Reaper Soul (Rework)
 
 - Reaper Soul reduces the summoning cost of mobs by 0.3% ➜ 30% and increases their damage output by 0.2% ➜ 20%.
 - Reword the part about health of summoned mobs to “Increases the health of all summoned mobs by 1 ➜ 100%”.
 
 ### Army of the Dead (Replacement of “Zombie Arm”)

 ### Higher Ground (Rework)
 
 - Increase your Crit Damage and Strength by 0.0015% ➜ 0.15% for every 0.1 Swing Range over 3. Capped at 6 Swing Range.
 - There are many ways you can gain swing range and figure out how to best utilize the Giraffe Pet. You can easily reach the 6 Swing Range cap while in dungeons as Berserker, or cobble together an interesting combination of items in the overworld to reach the 6 Swing Range cap. Hopefully this opens up more options to players and enjoy theorycrafting what works best!
 
 ## Golem Pet

 ## Wither Skeleton Pet
 
 ### Wither Blood (Rework)
 
 - Deal +125% more damage to wither mobs.
 - Contrary to what it seems, the change from a 25% multiplicative to a 125% additive modifier is actually a lot stronger for most players. For players a lot further into progression where this change is a slight nerf, you have other pets at your disposal that deal more damage than Wither Skeleton in general anyway.
 
 ## Zombie Pet
 
 ### Bite Shield (Rework of “Chomp”)
 
 - Reduce damage taken from Zombies by x% ➜ y%.
 - Common: 5% ➜15%
 Uncommon, Rare: 10% ➜ 20%

 - 25% Damage to Zombies ➜ Deal 150% more damage to Zombies.
 
 ### Living Dead (Rework)
 
 - 0.25 ➜ 25% Stats on Undead Armor (instead of 0.2 ➜ 20%).
 
 ### Unlock Requirement
 
 - The current way to unlock the Zombie Pet craft is Zombie Collection 9. Let’s move it down to Zombie Collection 6, and change the crafting recipe to 16*8 Enchanted Rotten Flesh.
 - This makes the pet more accessible to it’s intended new-player audience!
