The pick
Your pick has two tips and a handle, all bought and upgraded at the Pick Smith. Each tip has its own tier, and its own focus: the resource it brings in more of.
The pick takes its name and look from its tips.
| Tier | Name | Price per tip | Mining speed per tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basic pick | Starting pick | - |
| 2 | White pick | 150 Rime Essence + 1 Heartstone | +3% |
| 3 | Verdant pick | 300 Rime Essence + 3 Heartstone | +6% |
| 4 | Dusk pick | 550 Rime Essence + 6 Heartstone | +9% |
| 5 | Prismatic pick | 900 Rime Essence + 12 Heartstone | +12% |
| 6 | Heartstone pick | 1400 Rime Essence + 24 Heartstone | +16% |
Each tier: +3% mining speed (+4% at tier 6) and more of the resource this tip focuses on.
