They killed MINING

[fierce garnet]

You just got unlucky, I got pocket watches normally the whole day.

The ingredients needed to make basic pickaxe was changed. Doesn't need silver coins anymore. I got pocket watches as usual after the maintenance. If they nerfed something like that they would have told so.

Gonna assume you meant platinum keys not silver keys. Sometimes luck isnt on your side. It's all about luck sometimes you get them sometimes you don't. I've not noticed any difference and I play alot of level 5 mines.

nether xp is dead too, nerfed by at least like 30-40%

[fierce garnet]

Did they actually nerf nether on the latest maintenance that much? They just nerfing random stuff atp.

nether 4 is down from like 1200 to 800, nether 5 is down from like 1500 to 1000

10 Keys is just not enough data for any calculation. Afaik, pocket watches drop on average once in 5 runs, so you would need to do a tons of runs to notice any difference, and even then there's huge possibility that luck could affect margin of error.

Harsh, good thing that I don't have to play nether for xp anymore

Pocket watch rate was very bad. It was too common and it's still defo profitable but more luck based not just mine mine guaranteed MEGA PROFIT from level 5. ( Got 3 pockets from 1 mine today)

what lvl r u?

[fierce garnet]

Currently level 82. All major level caps reached before huge nerfs. Managed to get 60 before deep nether nerf thankfully.

[wet hornet]

i wanna try and get to 80 too because i think(?) thats when one of the best pickaxes becomes available, but itd take genuine days of straight grinding, especially with these nerfs

[lofty totem]

That's why level system was introduced. You can't just skip to the best pickaxe in the game🤣 on side note master pick is good.

Get level 60, make a heavy pick and start digging
