Welcome to the ultimate guide on pickaxes in Roblox Mines. Whether you’re just starting or are a seasoned player, understanding the different types of pickaxes can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. In this article, we’ll explore the various pickaxes you can acquire, from progression options to craftable selections and even those purchasable with Robux. Get ready to dig deeper and maximize your mining potential!
Your best choice to start your mining journey is to obtain the Diamond Pickaxe. By liking and favoriting the game, and joining the Gold Rush Games community, you can easily acquire this essential tool. As you advance, make sure to purchase the Amethyst Pickaxe from Sally. You’ll also want to focus on cheaper craftable options like the Lava Pickaxe available at the Blacksmith. Long-term, the Celestite Pickaxe reigns supreme if you’re fortunate enough to find the Passage Key (a Legendary drop), allowing access through the Door/Passage. Additionally, once you’ve amassed a fortune and mythic ores, craftable options like Uranium and Dragon become the best you can wield. Let’s break down each pickaxe in detail.
All Roblox Mines Pickaxes Ranked
Tip #1: The Lava Pickaxe and above can mine through the Lava Layer – Drills also mine through Lava Layer if you have the Lava Pickaxe or above equipped.
Tip #2: Although the Diamond Pickaxe is easily obtainable, you’ll need Sapphire or higher to progress to the Lava Layer.

D-Tier Mines Pickaxes
The starting pickaxes available at the initial town shop fall flat in terms of value. There’s absolutely no reason to use them as the Diamond Pickaxe, obtained by joining the Roblox Mines group, performs better. You might only want to collect these for completion’s sake.
