How to read the letters

S and A are the cheap and mid shop steps that change a normal run while warmth still matters. B is the Mythic band. C is the Divine and Empyrean jump after Mine Size caps. D is the Zenith, Infinity, and Ultima Cash sink, including the strongest tool in the game. Read the live card if a price has moved.

Tierpickaxes21 ranked rows.

S tier

pickaxesRusted ScrapperStarter tool at Power 25 and Mine Size 10. You already have it.

Player decision Use it for the first foothill run, then replace it as soon as 25 Cash is safe to spend.

pickaxesSplintered TimberFirst Cash pickaxe. Power 45 and Mine Size 18 for 25 Cash.

Player decision Best early purchase once cold is not instantly ending the run.

pickaxesChipped FlintUncommon step at Power 75 and Mine Size 32 for 125 Cash.

Player decision Buy it in order. The cost is still small next to a failed cold run.

pickaxesShadowed TalonRare step at Power 125 and Mine Size 58 for 500 Cash.

Player decision Worth it when dig speed is the stop. Do not skip Climb Higher to rush it.

A tier

pickaxesHardened IronRare step at Power 210 and Mine Size 104 for 2,200 Cash.

Player decision A sensible mid-early card, and the example cost in the payback calculator.

pickaxesTempered SteelEpic step at Power 350 and Mine Size 188 for 9,700 Cash.

Player decision Buy when the previous tool is what makes a safe band feel slow.

pickaxesEpic pickaxe (Power 600)Epic step at Power 600 and Mine Size 338 for 43,000 Cash. Published tables truncate the name as Reinforced….

Player decision Treat the shop card name as final. The stats are the row that sits between Tempered Steel and Titanium Breaker.

pickaxesTitanium BreakerLegendary step at Power 1,000 and Mine Size 612 for 190,000 Cash. Reports tie it to the Mossite Boulder.

Player decision The first tool to plan toward if Mossite or a pickaxe-level warning is blocking a band you can already survive.

B tier

pickaxesFrostbite AlloyLegendary step at Power 1,750 and Mine Size 1,101 for 850,000 Cash.

Player decision A large Mine Size jump. Fund warmth and bag space alongside it.

pickaxesObsidian CarverMythic step at Power 3,000 and Mine Size 1,980 for 3.8 million Cash.

Player decision Buy in order when the previous Mythic or Legendary tool is the dig bottleneck.

pickaxesDiamond FangMythic step at Power 5,000 and Mine Size 3,570 for 17 million Cash.

Player decision Strong mid-ladder tool. A tiny bag still forces short trips.

C tier

pickaxesMeteorite EdgeDivine step at Power 8,500 and Mine Size 6,426 for 75 million Cash. Last numbered Mine Size.

Player decision The last tool before Mine Size caps. Confirm you can stay in the band that makes this price back.

pickaxesTwilight CleaverDivine step at Power 15,000 and Mine Size Max for 330 million Cash.

Player decision First Max Mine Size. Later tools are Power purchases.

pickaxesAurora AlloyEmpyrean step at Power 25,000 and Mine Size Max for 1.2 billion Cash.

Player decision A long Cash sink. Only the next card after Twilight Cleaver is already doing its job.

pickaxesCelestite CrusherEmpyrean step at Power 42,000 and Mine Size Max for 3.8 billion Cash.

Player decision Buy in sequence. Skipping to it from an early Epic tool is not how the shop is priced.

D tier

pickaxesSunforged MaulZenith step at Power 70,000 and Mine Size Max for 12 billion Cash.

Player decision Endgame Power. The letter means the price is a long goal, not that the tool is weak.

pickaxesStormcore SplitterZenith step at Power 120,000 and Mine Size Max for 34 billion Cash.

Player decision Continue the ladder only when the previous Zenith tool is the limit.

pickaxesVoidsteel ReaverInfinity step at Power 200,000 and Mine Size Max for 92 billion Cash.

Player decision Prestige-scale Cash. Passes can speed the grind, but they are not required.

pickaxesSingularity EdgeInfinity step at Power 350,000 and Mine Size Max for 230 billion Cash.

Player decision Another Power step after Mine Size has already capped.

pickaxesPrimordial BreakerUltima step at Power 600,000 and Mine Size Max for 500 billion Cash.

Player decision The step before the published top. Still weaker than Genesis Core, still far past a new climber's needs.

pickaxesGenesis CoreStrongest published pickaxe. Ultima rarity, Power 1,000,000, Mine Size Max, 1 trillion Cash.

Player decision Top of the ladder. The D letter is purchase timing for everyone else, not a power ranking.

FAQ

[🎃] Mine Antarctica ranking questions

Why is Genesis Core not S?

Genesis Core is the strongest published pickaxe, at 1 trillion Cash, 1,000,000 Power, and Max Mine Size. On this board it sits in D because that price is an endgame goal, not the next purchase for a new climber.

When does Mine Size stop rising?

Mine Size is listed as Max from Twilight Cleaver upward. Later purchases are Power increases.
