    People think that eff7s are the best for mining but they are usually very expensive.When you mine all you need to use are maxed tools because u get to actually enjoy mining at your own pace of what you move at

    I use a max pick and it's obviously not as good as the eff 7, but for its price, I also don't think that eff 7 is 100% necessary for mining well.

    Yeah, it's really good, and much better than max pick, but IMO not worth THAT much like, damn

    To me its worth more than they are going for, problem is i simply cant afford them at the price they go at now. I use max tools as well but recently rented a eff7. Im digging out a 200x200x50 area it took me over a week with 3 other people to take a few layers out of this, with me and another guy using a eff7 we did 5x as much in the same amount of time. Another good week with at least two eff7s running and the area would be cleared i think. Problem weve run into is we are now hitting a lot more lava and while that normally wouldnt bother either of us using the eff7 i dont dare risk it and potentially be in debt for a million dollars with no pick to show for it.

    Nice thing about max tools is they are so cheap if i die and lose one i dont care, have a few sitting around usually even just incase i dont see it needs a repair quick enough and blast it to oblivion. With a high dollar tool you tend to keep a better eye on the health bar of it, avoid lava with it, and while you mine faster you take your sweet time in the more dangerous areas. I rented for a week for 100k, in that time i made almost 300k with the pick not counting all the ores i have yet to break down and sell off (broke and sold some but still have tons of redstone and coal to the tune of around 5 dchests at least yet to be broken). With two good weeks renting i could afford any star tool. Just have to be willing to put in some work on here and getting anything isnt that hard to do.

    The price difference between max tools and eff7 are so great, that if you are poor (like me rip) max tools are honestly way more worth it. The productivity you would achieve with an eff7 would be insane compared to max tools, but some just cannot afford one in general.

    in the end its just better to have a regular maxed tool just in case of sudden death or so so that u do not have to pay do much for a new advanced server item

    unless u die in the lava and now that u have to buy most features with the eula than it would probably matter to some people that they would have to re-buy the eff7

    My main source of money gain is via mining, but I still get a good amount $$ with a max pick, so IMO, "U dont need an eff7 to mine good (well)"

    exactly its just a way of u mining a lot quicker so that u do not take your time and enjoy your mining people just think that u want to rush through it but you are suppose to enjoy mining not hurry and mine.

    I wouldn't 100% agree with that. I do mine for the ECD, and it is partially for its enjoyment. But for me, the difference between eff7 and max pick is not that you do not get to enjoy it as much with the eff7 (though it is true, it's just not that big of a factor in how much I like each pickaxe for me). I wouldn't say that the enjoyment is one of the main reasons why I do not prefer to use eff7 (if I could use it lol). But still, a good way of looking at it. For me the biggest thing is that eff7's price is just insane and not worth what it gives you (at least for how much I play. I'm not too active). But yeah enjoyment is still something that I take out of mining.
