Changelog/2023/June 8

Hello,
It's remarkable to think that it's been four years since SkyBlock first went live. As we mark this important milestone, we've put together some special events to celebrate our collective journey.
The celebration kicks off on Monday, the 12th, and will last for exactly 7 days, with a series of activities and updates:
== ► Party Time! ==
During the event, Simon will be back in the Hub, bearing gifts for every player - a randomly selected Party Hat. While Crab hats won't be making a return, the new Party Hats are sure to turn heads with their Sloth Emoji designs:
​
Like their predecessors, these new Party Hats are Hatcessories - they not only serve as unique cosmetic pieces but also function as accessories. Please note they are in the same "accessory group" as the Crab Hats, so owning both will not provide additional Magical Power.
== ► Skill EXP Boost ==
We're giving everyone a chance to level up faster - for the entirety of the event, a 20% Skill EXP boost will be in effect across the game.
== ► The Return of the Pig Shop ==
The Pig Shop is returning with its special brand of commerce. Shiny Orbs can once again be used on the Pigs in the Hub for their usual rewards.
Please note the Pig Shop has seen a few changes. Due to in-game economic fluctuations, some items have seen a price increase.
But, in better news, we've added a new item: the Dante Ring .
Recently found in a hidden warehouse, those accessories are for sale, though they don't hold any explicit functionality...
Once again, they are in the same accessory group as the Dante Talisman, so having both does not give extra magical power.
The Dante Talisman will never return, as it is a collector item. But this provides an opportunity for those who missed the Talisman to claim its equivalent magic power.
== ► 4 Years of SkyBlock Video ==
Join us Sunday, June 11 at 2PM EST / 11AM PST / 7PM BST (on SkyBlock's birthday!) to watch a special video to commemorate the history of the game. It even features some of your favorite creators!
You can find the premiere here:
