Minecraft’s in-game currency Emeralds are used to exchange various items to craft specific items. Follow this guide to know how to obtain it.
Other than mining, trading with villagers despite the fact you can obtain them from mining. Mining is time consuming and un-satisfactory as Emerald spawns are rare while melting the ore down give one Emerald. To trade with NPC villagers look for a villages that wants the item. Make sure you have the item before making the trade, thereby you can exchange it for Emeralds.
Another way to look for Emeralds is by exploring various game locations especially dungeons. Locations where it can be found are:
Ruins
Villages
Igloos
Shipwrecks
Temples ( Jungle, or Desert)
End Cities
Lastly, using an weapon with looting enchantment to killing and farming vindicators and evokers is one way around. Upgrading the enchantment to looting III increases the Emeralds drops from one to four, look for them in raids, woodland mansions and in dark forest biomes. 4 Emeralds per kill is a fair trade, and the hardwork involved in it is handsomely rewarded.
On November 2nd, seven of the most popular CSGO maps including Mirage, Inferno, Overpass, Nuke, Train, Vertigo, and Dust 2 received workshop updates in what fans are suspecting to be a preparation for the upcoming operation.
Since there are no major changes in any of the maps, it’s still unclear what has actually changed. While there’s a possibility that these are just regular balance updates, don’t be surprised if the highly anticipated operation 10 drops in the next few hours.
Previously, we have seen CSGO devs pushing out small updates before shipping out a big operation, and these map changes might follow a similar paradigm.
Another looming possibility is that the developers might be looking to add Christmas visuals to these maps. With Christmas only a few weeks away, CSGO players are already expecting some visual changes to the game. The winter changes are a regular occurrence in CSGO, where the devs add snowballs to the maps and decorate chickens with Christmas every year in December.
We don’t have any conclusive answer on what the new series of updates are about, but they’re certain to keep CSGO players excited for a while as the new operation nears its release.
Sony will not be providing a warranty for any unauthorized purchases of the PlayStation 5 outside their distribution channel, i.e. in countries where the distribution has not started yet.
The hype built around the PlayStation 5 doesn’t seem to cool off and for good reason. The next-generation console has everything that can justify Sony waiting till 2020 to drop it. With ever generation, the consoles have narrowed the gap between them an PCs and now it seems closer than ever.
Everything about the PS5 speaks excellence, so it’s natural for everyone to squeeze in a PS5 through grey markets in areas where Sony is yet to distribute. Grey markets might get you what you want, but it comes with its fair share of risks. Sony has backed out of providing services covered under warranty for such imported consoles.
“We advise our customers to check for the official Sony India Warranty card at the time of purchase to avail warranty benefits within India and in this context, it is important to note that PlayStation products marketed by Sony India are certified based on India safety standards stipulated by BIS,” the console makers announced their decision to MensXP.
Several fans have imported the consoles for unbelievable prices, but on the off chance of things going south with the specific console piece, Sony will not be compelled to provide any services covered under warranty. They advise fans to wait till the launch.

Today, Forbes has revealed their prestigious 30 under 30 rankings for 2021, and two very familiar faces in the world of streaming have made it to the ‘Gaming’ list.
If you follow streamers on Twitch or regularly follow gaming content on YouTube, then you’re surely acquainted with the faces of Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang. Fans of these streamers have plenty to rejoice about, since both of them have made it to Forbes’ 30 under 30 rankings for gaming this year.
Pokimane has earned quite the fame for herself in the past few years. The 24-year-old streamer and content creator dropped out of McMaster University to pursue her passion for streaming and soon made her way to the top of the Twitch charts. She is currently the #1 female streamer on the platform with a follower count of over 6 million.
Pokimane initially rose to fame while playing games like League of Legends or Fortnite. She was also one of the founders of the content creation house ‘OfflineTV’, which she left this year following a series of controversies.
She also recently became the creative director for renowned gaming clothes brand ‘Cloak’.
Disguised Toast is a 29-year-old Canadian streamer who signed an exclusivity deal with Facebook Gaming in late 2019. He has recently crossed a sub count of 3 million on his YouTube channel, thanks to his amazing Among Us videos that pull millions of views on a regular basis. Previously, we have seen Toast play games like Hearthstone, League of Legends, and Teamfight Tactics
Both these streamers have been a part of the legendary US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s record-breaking Among Us stream in October 2020 which hit over 500k concurrent viewers.

Where is killjoy from Valorant?
Killjoy has been temporarily removed from Valorant’s playable roster until the next update.
Riot has confirmed in a tweet that the turret bug wasn’t intended by the developers who are working to patch it out at the earliest. The German agent will be disabled from the competitive shooter till the exploit is patched.
For the unaware, the bug allowed players to glitch the Killjoy turret and place them outside the map by standing on specific areas of maps. The turret would then shoot towards enemies who would otherwise be outside its line of sight, revealing them and dealing damage.

Fnatic move onto the Upper Bracket semi-finals after seeing off their opponents in the Swedish derby at Flashpoint 2 in a BO3 affair.
Fnatic vs Dignitas Flashpoint 2 Map Veto:
fnatic removed Nuke
Dignitas removed Mirage
fnatic picked Overpass
Dignitas picked Vertigo
fnatic removed Dust2
Dignitas removed Inferno
Train was left over
Fnatic’s road to Flashpoint 2 Upper bracket quarter-finale:
After receiving an invite to the second season of Flashpoint, Fnatic overcame Dignitas twice in the tournament where they will now be facing the winner of OG Vs MIBR in the Semi-Finals of the Upper bracket. After only dropping a series to MAD Lions in the group stage, they did put up a valiant effort to enter the playoffs before today’s fixture.
Dignitas’s road to Flashpoint 2 Upper bracket quarter-finale :
Dignitas now face elimination from the B site league as they have dropped down to the Lower bracket Round. As a founding member, this is their first playoffs appearance here at Flashpoint.
Before this match up, Freddy “KRIMZ” Johansson was handed a VAC-Ban by Valve which jeopardized his chances of playing in the reminder of Flashpoint 2. It was later brought to light that the Ban had been triggered by Esportal’s Anti-cheat, a third party client.
As reported earlier by TalkEsport, the problem does seem to lie in Esportal’s anticheat and the Swedish organisation has iterated that the issues seem to stem from compatibility issues between their private anticheat and VAC.
The Swedish team made a lively start to the game on Overpass and raced to a 11-4 lead on their offensive side thanks to Jesper “JW” Wecksell Endpoint, the demolition man for Fnatic who was so sensational with his AWP along with Freddy “KRIMZ” Johansson’s 3K post plant defense. Dignitas who appeared dazed during the early stages were unable to keep up with the Swedes here on Overpass as the latter came out of the gates with a win on their pick without conceding a single round on their defense.
Fnatic answered with yet another dominant display on Vertigo despite getting off to a medium pace start on the CT side. After getting the initial 3-0 lead, Maikil ‘Golden’ Selim & co. tightened up the defense to go on a big run and ended the half 9-6 in their favor thanks to Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin defensive heroics.
But things did go in an awry for the Swedes as they were derailed by Adam ‘friberg’ Friberg and his troops who were in due course getting comfortable on the defense and starting to mount a comeback as Fnatic hit a wall over and over again.
After a combined team effort, Dignitas reached map point without an answer from Fnatic and forced the Swedish side to take the series onto a decider.
However in the decider, Dignitas were quickly left out of sorts as once again JW and KRIMZ pummeled the defensive setups of their opposition on Train, leaving f0rest’s side no opportunity to get momentum on their side as the map was clinched by the swedes in the decider. The onset of train previously unfolded in the same fashion as a stalwart defense saw Fnatic lock
