    Wasn't it something with mendiboy or something? I have never recorded how much I make per hour with a eff5 but I feel like it's pretty close to that of a eff7.

    Can confirm this.

    Thing is, McMMO skills + features are more beneficial to eff5 as opposed to eff7. This goes aswell for fly in my opinion. Cave mining makes up for the most minerals when using an eff5, something fly is fantastic for. Sure, McMMO perks and fly is good for eff7 mining, but for eff5 it will give you more. This swings the other way for some features like erepiar, for obvious reasons, but my point still stands.

    This however I personally don't agree with, but it can differ from person to person (features). It will take some mining to offset the price of the pickaxe, sure, but it in the long run it will be worth it (+10k-15k?!). If you're new to the server with little to no features of course my argument punctures, but hey this is for "a rich man" and not a man of mediocre wealth (duh).

    Well one thing is when I calculate my average for mining with eff7, I don't include the Money I get with exp. Additionally, I don't think I've ever gotten lower than 15k per hour with eff7, including exp. Realistically, at least for me, I average 25-30kper hour, 35k with ideal conditions (includes exp).

    Eff 5 max fortune with erepair. 15k for pick
    First hour pays for pick then profit... let’s say 18k p/hr x 60hrs give or take gives you 1mil.

    Eff7 max silk pick + eff 5 max fortune = 1.2 mil

    Let’s say you avg 27k p hr. It would take you 44.5 hrs just to pay for the picks... then another 27 hrs to make 1 mil profit.

    Basically what your saying is a “rich” man would already have an eff7 pick... what I’m saying is you can in theory become a rich man in less time without it.. Now if you want to play lotto... gamble... or take out loans to obtain the funds to get an eff7 pick you are likely extended you profitable time even longer and risking putting yourself into a deeper hole.

    I’m providing a real alternative for all players to become “rich” without having to even purchase an eff 7 pick in the first place. So in a sense they would be ultimately condsidred a “rich person” as man or woman.

    Granted in the end an eff7 does make 25% more per hour... I still don’t see how a 80% price difference makes it worth while...

    I still disagree. Star tools are meant to be something a lot more convenient. For people like me, who have little time to play ecc on weekdays, an eff7 is something I can quickly mind for 30 min and create profit. An eff5 is terrible at that.

    It is true that an eff7 is 1.2 mil and an eff5 is 15k, but over time, an eff7 will ultimately make you more money.
    I can garuntee that an eff7 helps me find far more resources than an eff5 pick would, which makes it ideal for builders and town owners (these resources include finding more mineshafts, spawned, and rare ores.). Additionally, I get bored easily with a slow eff5. With an eff7, I don't feel as bored, because I have to ability to break many blocks.

    Profit aside, the fun part about an eff7 is having to work hard in order to obtain one. Having an eff7 for me is far more rewarding than having an eff5

    However I do agree with you on one thing.

    An eff5 is probably more profitable in the beginning, and is especially rewarding for new players.
    As you grow on Ecco you will need more demand for resources, wether it be money, exp, ores, etc, and an eff5 just won't suffice.

    What you have said is true. What is also important to consider, however, is overall profit for a consistent player. To make the math more intuitive, say that eff5's make 10,000$ an hour, while eff7's make 12500. Eff7's take a great deal longer to pay for themselves than eff5's, as you said. However, as the # of hours that you mine increases, the difference becomes increasingly noticeable. 1000 hours of mining with eff5 at 10k/hr gives you 10 mil, whereas the eff7 would've given you 12.5mil. ETC.

    NOTE:
    I didn't make it especially obvious so if you were skimming, I do know that 10k/hr and 12.5k/hr are not accurate representations of eff5 and eff7 profits. Those numbers were merely chosen for intuitive math.

    NOTE2:
    I went into far more depth than was required for this comment and I apologize for this. Going to post anyway. Good-day!

    I’m rich... that’s the point.. regardless of how you look at it. You can make just as much money (unless you are given an eff7 pic for free) in the grand scheme of it. Yes maybe it’s quicker and more efficient once you get one... but you still had to pay 80 times more for it then you would an eff5 pic. By the time you make enough to buy one... I will have made the same if not more with an eff5 and only about 10k less an hour after.

    Being rich doesn’t mean you have to be stupid!

    eff7s may take longer to breakeven, but after breakeven, you still make 18k per hour, eff7s still make 27k per hour. it's a long term investment, not to mention you can sell it.

    just randomly let's say after 200 hours of mining, since you clearly have so much experience on the server and mining in general, you will have made about 3.6m with an eff5 given eff5 mining making 18k/hr

    eff7 would have made 5.4m at 27k/hr, minus 1.2m cost, still 4.2m, 600k more than your eff5.

    you get a little headstart, but you lose the race buddy

    Wait so 200hrs for 600k.. ok buddy...

    So for roughly 3k more an hour for those 200 hours... I mean by your logic that is what you are stating right? I mean come on you know better then that man you’ve been here too long to actually call me out.. and that is the best you come up with?? Lol

    Not to mention the risk of losing it.. being scammed.. falling in lava.. getting it repaired safely... etc.. sure you can buy features to prevent that but then there goes your 600k and more.. look I don’t pretend to be an expert at anything nor am I saying my methods are for everyone... I’m just offering an alternative beyond the obsession with “Star” tools. Yeah I know for some it’s hard to swallow. But if all you are doing is mining then an eff5 pic is simply a better option. That’s it...

    So...yes...I am cocky... very cocky... mind blowing cocky. So cocky your brain hurts imagining how cocky I really am. When it comes to certain aspects of this game on this server.. yeah.. I would agree with that..Relax take a deep breath and try again my young friend...
