How to read this board
Stages follow the published Power and Mine Size order. D and C are opening Cash tools. B is where tougher rock, including the reported Mossite Boulder, starts to matter. A is the climb to max Mine Size. S is Power-only endgame. Always confirm the next price in the Pickaxe Shop.
S tier
Player decision Endgame Power. Only relevant once Twilight Cleaver is already yours.
Player decision Buy in order. Skipping to it from Mythic tools is not the efficient path.
Player decision A late goal after Empyrean tools, not a starter target.
Player decision Continue the one-step shop climb.
Player decision Late Infinity tool. The letter S means ceiling, not priority.
Player decision Buy only after Voidsteel Reaver is already equipped.
Player decision The step before the final card.
Player decision The top of the published shop. It is a destination, not an early goal.
A tier
Player decision A mid-climb purchase, one card at a time.
Player decision Buy when the previous Mythic already feels slow.
Player decision The last card that still grows Mine Size.
Player decision After this, compare later cards on Power only.
B tier
Player decision Buy the card that shows 600 and 338. Do not rename it from a translated clip.
Player decision Save toward this when a formation will not move and the warning asks for a stronger tool.
Player decision Buy it when you already live in bands Titanium can break and you want faster clears.
C tier
Player decision A normal early buy when 500 Cash is the whole wallet.
Player decision Buy it when Rare tools stop keeping up with the rock you can already reach.
Player decision Take it on the way up. Do not skip it to stare at Legendary prices.
D tier
Player decision Use it for the first bag, then buy Splintered Timber.
Player decision Buy it the moment the first sale clears 25 Cash.
Player decision Buy it next if the starter path already feels slow.
