  "textContent": "Your pickaxe decides which ores you can actually break in The Forge. Each node has a Mine Power requirement, and if your tool falls short, you will swing forever without collecting anything. Beyond raw power, pickaxes carry Luck Boost (better rare ore odds), Mine Speed, and rune slots for extra upgrades. The lineup spans four regions, from Stonewake's Cross up through the Crimson Sakura Isles on Island 4 and the Spirit Cave.\n\n⛏️\n\nQuick answer: The Yin-Yang Pickaxe is the strongest tool in the game with 1,100 Mine Power, +88% Luck Boost, and 4 rune slots. The Kitsune Pickaxe (1,000 Mine Power) and Spirit Pickaxe (777 Mine Power) sit just below it.\n\n* * *\n\n## Stonewake's Cross pickaxes (Island 1)\n\nEvery player starts with the Stone Pickaxe for free. The Bronze, Iron, Gold, and Platinum tiers come straight from Miner Fred's Shop. Two stand out from the shop path: Stonewake's Pickaxe is wedged in a boulder at the center of the Inner Cave and gives you 3 rune slots very early, while the Arcane Pickaxe is the big power jump and needs the Unknown Key from the Lost Guitar quest to open the Fallen Angel's Cave.\n\nMiner Fred's Pickaxe shop, where most early upgrades are sold. Pickaxe| Mine Power| Luck| Slots| Cost| How to Get\n---|---|---|---|---|---\nStone Pickaxe| 4| +0%| 0| 0 Gold| Owned by default\nBronze Pickaxe| 7| +0%| 0| 150 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nIron Pickaxe| 10| +5%| 0| 500 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nGold Pickaxe| 16| +15%| 0| 1,500 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nPlatinum Pickaxe| 24| +25%| 2| 5,000 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nStonewake's Pickaxe| 33| +10%| 3| 3,333 Gold| Center of the Inner Cave\nArcane Pickaxe| 115| +50%| 3| 125,000 Gold| Fallen Angel's Cave (Lost Guitar quest)\n\n****Note:**** Stonewake's Pickaxe carries a −30% Mine Speed penalty, so it mines slowly despite its rune slots. The Arcane Pickaxe adds +10% Mine Speed.\n\n* * *\n\n## Forgotten Kingdom pickaxes (Island 2)\n\nOnce you unlock the portal tool and reach the Forgotten Kingdom, the shop sells the Cobalt through Lightite tiers. Magma comes from the NPC Amber near the Ashen Passage, and the Demonic Pickaxe needs Skal's quest to earn the Demonite Key that opens the Demon's Hideout in the Volcanic Depths.\n\nPickaxe| Mine Power| Luck| Slots| Cost| How to Get\n---|---|---|---|---|---\nCobalt Pickaxe| 40| +35%| 2| 10,000 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nTitanium Pickaxe| 55| +38%| 2| 22,500 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nUranium Pickaxe| 67| +41%| 2| 37,500 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nMythril Pickaxe| 80| +43%| 2| 67,550 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nLightite Pickaxe| 100| +45%| 2| 98,500 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop (+30% Mine Speed)\nMagma Pickaxe| 135| +46%| 2| 150,000 Gold| Bought from Amber, Ashen Passage\nDemonic Pickaxe| 200| +53%| 3| 300,000 Gold| Demon's Hideout (Skal's quest, Demonite Key)\n\n****Tip:**** The Lightite Pickaxe is the fastest tool in the early game thanks to its +30% Mine Speed, which makes it useful well past its raw power tier.\n\nImage credit: Roblox (via YouTube/@ViewSIM)\n\n* * *\n\n## Frostspire Expanse pickaxes (Island 3)\n\nThe Frostspire shop runs from Tungsten up to Void, with Snow, Frost, and Void gated behind Sensei Moro's quest chain (Quests 6, 7, and 8). The standout end-game tools here are hidden. The Prismatic Pickaxe sits behind ice in the Underwater Chamber, which you break with a Void Pickaxe. The Dragon Head Pickaxe is the reward for clearing three NPC quests inside the Raven Cave, and the Heavenly Pickaxe drops at the end of the Secret Maze.\n\nPickaxe| Mine Power| Luck| Slots| Cost| How to Get\n---|---|---|---|---|---\nTungsten Pickaxe| 165| +48%| 2| 175,000 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nAqua Pickaxe| 200| +52%| 2| 325,000 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nMist Pickaxe| 250| +55%| 2| 450,000 Gold| Miner Fred's Shop\nSnow Pickaxe| 320| +58%| 3| 625,000 Gold| Sensei Moro Quest 6, then shop\nFrost Pickaxe| 420| +62%| 3| 875,000 Gold| Sensei Moro Quest 7, then shop\nVoid Pickaxe| 550| +68%| 3| 1,100,000 Gold| Sensei Moro Quest 8, then shop\nPrismatic Pickaxe| 650| +72%| 4| 1,500,000 Gold| Break the ice in the Underwater Chamber\nHeavenly Pickaxe| 725| +85%| 4| 2,400,000 Gold| Complete the Secret Maze quests\nDragon Head Pickaxe| 750| +78%| 4| 2,200,000 Gold| Auron, Mjelatkhan, and Morveth quests in Raven Cave\n\nThe Heavenly Pickaxe holds the highest Luck Boost on this island at +85%, which makes it the rare-ore farming pick even though the Dragon Head edges it out on raw power.\n\nImage credit: Roblox (via YouTube/@ViewSIM)\n\n* * *\n\n## Crimson Sakura and Spirit Cave pickaxes (Island 4)\n\nIsland 4 carries the strongest tools in the game. The Bamboo through Kitsune line is sold from the shop, scaling smoothly from 370 up to 1,000 Mine Power. The Spirit Pickaxe waits at the entrance of the Jade Spirit Cave, and the Yin-Yang Pickaxe is found deeper inside the Spirit Cave near the Shogun NPC. These two carry 4 rune slots and the highest Luck Boosts available.\n\nPickaxe| Mine Power| Luck| Slots| Cost| How to Get\n---|---|---|---|---|---\nBamboo Pickaxe| 370| +60%| 2| 675,000 Gold| Purchased from the Shop\nSakura Pickaxe| 480| +65%| 2| 950,000 Gold| Purchased from the Shop\nWolf Pickaxe| 600| +70%| 2| 1,300,000 Gold| Purchased from the Shop\nHoly Pickaxe| 740| +74%| 3| 1,850,000 Gold| Purchased from the Shop\nOni Pickaxe| 888| +82%| 3| 2,666,666 Gold| Purchased from the Shop\nKitsune Pickaxe| 1,000| +85%| 3| 3,330,000 Gold| Purchased from the Shop\nSpirit Pickaxe| 777| +85%| 4| 5,000,000 Gold| Entrance of the Jade Spirit Cave\nYin-Yang Pickaxe| 1,100| +88%| 4| 7,770,000 Gold| Inside the Spirit Cave, near the Shogun NPC\n\n* * *\n\n## Event pickaxes\n\nEvent tools are limited-time only and bought with tickets rather than gold. Both came from the Christmas Store during the Frostspire Expanse winter event.\n\nPickaxe| Mine Power| Luck| Slots| Cost| How to Get\n---|---|---|---|---|---\nChristmas Pickaxe| 550| +72%| 3| 3,600 Tickets| Christmas Store (winter event)\nCandy Cane Pickaxe| 280| +65%| 2| 800 Tickets| Christmas Store (winter event)\n\n* * *\n\n## Mine Power needed for each ore node\n\nMatch your Mine Power to the node you want to break. Anything below the listed value will not produce ore no matter how long you swing.\n\nNode Type| Req. Mine Power| Location\n---|---|---\nPebble| 1| Stonewake's Cross\nRock| 7| Stonewake's Cross\nBoulder| 13| Stonewake's Cross\nBasalt Rock| 30| Forgotten Kingdom\nBasalt Core| 45| Forgotten Kingdom\nBasalt Vein| 65| Forgotten Kingdom\nCrystal Node| 100| Goblin Cave\nVolcanic Rock| 135| Volcanic Depths\nIcy Pebble| 180| Frostspire Expanse\nIcy Rock| 250| Frostspire Expanse\nIcy Boulder| 350| Frostspire Expanse\nSmall Ice Crystal| 450| Frostspire (Golem)\nMedium Ice Crystal| 550| Frostspire (High)\nLarge Ice Crystal| 650| Island 4 Entry\nFloating Crystal| 700| Sky Reach\nSmall Red Crystal| 750| Crimson Sakura\nMedium Red Crystal| 800| Crimson Sakura\nLarge Red Crystal| 850| Sakura Peak\nImage credit: Roblox (via YouTube/@ViewSIM)\n\n* * *\n\n## How to boost Mine Power without buying a new pickaxe\n\nIf your tool falls just short of a node, you do not always need a higher-tier pickaxe. Two systems close the gap.\n\n**Power Runes:** Use the Rune Maker to slot Power Runes into your pickaxe. Each rune tier adds a flat Mine Power bonus, so a mid-tier tool like the Mythril Pickaxe can reach into a higher node bracket. More rune slots mean more stacked bonuses, which is why the 4-slot tools scale so well.\n\n**Critical Mining:** While mining, weakpoints spawn randomly on the rock. Hitting one deals extra mining damage, letting a weaker pickaxe catch up to the output of a stronger one. It will not bypass a Mine Power requirement, but it speeds up nodes you can already break.\n\n* * *\n\nFor a fast, gold-efficient route, you do not need to buy every pickaxe. A clean upgrade path runs from the Iron Pickaxe to Stonewake's Pickaxe for early rune slots, then to Mythril for the power spike, and into the Arcane Pickaxe before you transition off Island 1. From there, follow Sensei Moro's quests into the Frostspire end-game tools, then save toward the Crimson Sakura and Spirit Cave pickaxes once you reach Island 4.",
