Early Game Money: Zero Gear, Real Coins

Hypixel SkyBlock guide · cross-checked against the wiki and top creator guides · updated August 2026

Every money list assumes gear you do not have yet. This is the path when you have nothing: it starts with foraging, moves into hunting, and funds your first real setup.

Step 1 — Foraging (first hours)

• Chop oak/dark oak, sell logs (enchanted forms sell better on the bazaar).
• Upgrade your axe as soon as profits allow — each tier meaningfully raises logs/hour.
• Expect roughly 1-3M/hour depending on effort. Not glamorous; completely reliable.

Step 2 — Hunting (once foraging funds it)

The hunting path pays better than raw logs once you can take on the mobs — drops sell steadily and your combat stats grow for everything that comes next.

Step 3 — Reinvest, do not hoard

• First real purchases: a solid weapon upgrade, then armor that lets you touch harder content.
• Start daily habits early: Dwarven commissions, minion slots, collection unlocks — passive value that compounds.

How fast can a new player make their first 10M?

A few solid sessions of foraging into hunting — typically days, not weeks, at 1-3M/hour.
