Reaper is a Rare enchant for Diamond Hoe hoes. When you harvest a fully grown crop, it has a chance to harvest every other fully grown crop in a 3x3 area around it as well.
How to get it#
Reaper comes from the Rare rune, which costs 30,000 XP in the enchant shop. The Rare rune pool in Skyblock holds 12 enchants and each one is equally likely, so a Rare rune gives Reaper about 1 time in 12 (8.3%). Reaper is not on any crate gear.
The book comes with an unknown level between I and V. Lower levels are more likely than higher ones (see the table below) and the book's success chance is random between 1% and 100%. See Runes and Enchanted Books for the full process.
Effect#
- You break a fully grown crop with a Reaper hoe in your main hand. See crops and harvests for what counts.
- Reaper rolls its chance for that crop.
- On success, every fully grown crop in the 3x3 square centred on the crop you broke is harvested too, at the same height. That is up to 8 extra crops.
The area is the same at every level and the level only changes the chance. Crops that are not fully grown are left standing. Fully grown melon and pumpkin stems with no fruit attached count as ripe crops, so Reaper cuts them too.
The extra crops:
- cost no durability;
- do not trigger Reaper or Windmill again and give no Cultivate XP;
- drop their items normally, so Bounty, Market and Seeder deal with them like any other harvest;
- are only broken where you are allowed to build.
Levels#
| Level | Chance per harvested crop | Area | Chance to get this level from a rune book |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | 4% | 3x3 | 29.7% |
| II | 8% | 3x3 | 23.8% |
| III | 12% | 3x3 | 19.0% |
| IV | 16% | 3x3 | 15.2% |
| V | 20% | 3x3 | 12.2% |
Notes and tips#
- Reaper covers a small area but fires often. At level V it averages up to 1.6 extra crops per crop you break (20% of 8), compared with up to 2.4 for Windmill at level V (5% of 48).
- Reaper and Windmill roll separately, so both can fire on the same crop.
- The area only reaches crops at the same height as the one you broke.
- Do not use a Reaper hoe next to melon or pumpkin stems you want to keep.
