But the pickaxes do so much more, if you're 100% focused you could almost match the 'per hour' rate of money that melon swords give, possibly even beat it. The pickaxe is also multi-purpose, you can gather ores with it and then excavate with it.
The amount of nstars can be risen by like 100-200, but not 500. The difference in profit isn't that large.
I disagree with the price increase, because when you silk ores, you still have to fortune it with efficiency5, and you have to have a high mining level to superbreak it all in one go
Edit:rewording to not sound selffish If they do go up Im happy I already got mine. But I think it would be cool if they became unattainable because it was really cool when eff 5 picks and axes were unattainable.
That sounds incredibly selfish. Most people would read that as "I have my pick already so remove them so they're worth a lot". I myself don't think they need to be removed, removing them would cause an outrage, eff 7 tools present a good way of making money mining, mining is the least boring thing to make money with and you want to remove that. That's stupid.
