I think a eff7 is worth every penny, I still use max picks along with my eff7, I just expose the ores with my eff7 and then fort them and keep moving, I have made my money back greatly with my eff7. Honestly, if you have decent armour on you cant really die with it, mobs are that big of a deal (when you find one). Lava isant either if you have pyro+ or even max fire prot/prot you can swim in it like water.
very true but still if u die with it then lol its going to cost u a h*ll of a lot more than what u probs earned
A quick point.... prot4 armor will make you ~nearly~ immortal to mobs. Put thorns3 on them and make a macro to automatically /repair all, and you're unkillable, they'll die before killing you. Get lava+ get water+ get fly+ the only thing that can kill you is void or players in pvp. edit: just remembered the old captain 'rank' prevented void damage... Now to the math. Code: Eff 5's make generously 10k on a fresh restart. They cost ~about~ that much for a fort/silk combo. y1=-10,000+10,000x Eff 7's make generously 25k on a fresh restart. The costy about 900k. y2=-900,000+25,000x using those two formulas we'd set them to be equal as shown: y1=-10,000+10,000x y2=-900,000+25,000x y1=y2 -10,000+10,000x=-900,000+25,000x Simplify (subtract 25,000x from each side and add 10k) -15,000x=-890,000 Simplify (divide each side by -15,000) x=59.33 Conclusion: It would require hard core mining for 60+ hours to make the same amount of money with an eff7 as an eff5. Is it worth it? That's up to you.
