Upgrades Tier List for +1 Mine Per Click

Cash Upgrades Beyond the Pickaxe Shop

VERY LUCKY spreads power across multiple shop tabs in +1 Mine Per Click. Pickaxes handle active mining, but cash upgrades tune training speed, sell prices, inventory capacity, offline earnings, and quality-of-life stats. Misordered purchases create fake difficulty — you blame layers when you actually under-bought sell multipliers.

This tier list ranks upgrade categories and common purchase types. Exact names live in the shop items reference as the developer expands the catalog.

Upgrade Category Rankings

Tier	Upgrade Type	Buy When
S	Strength / training speed	First hour — gates all depth
S	Sell value / loot multipliers	Once sell loop runs — see loot and selling
A	Offline earnings boosters	After you use offline zones correctly
A	Inventory / carry capacity	When sell trips interrupt mining too often
B	Mining click speed (non-pickaxe)	Mid-game when pickaxe tiers plateau briefly
B	Rebirth currency / multiplier helpers	Before planned rebirth — use calculator
C	Movement / jump upgrades	Luxury — after core income maxed for your rebirth count
C	Cosmetic trails / particles	Never for progression — flex only

S-Tier: Training and Selling Fund Everything

Strength upgrades shorten every future session. Without strength, pickaxes underperform and rebirth rebounds stall. Buy training upgrades until your layer target from the beginner walkthrough feels comfortable — then shift spare cash to sell multipliers.

Sell multipliers increase cash per trip, which feeds pickaxe tiers on the pickaxe tier list. Players who ignore sell upgrades notice "I mine tons but never afford shops" — that is usually a sell multiplier problem, not bad luck.

A-Tier: Offline and Inventory Quality of Life

Offline earnings upgrades jump in value once you place your character in the right AFK zone before logout. Multipliers from rebirth stack — read how to maximize offline earnings before buying level five offline boost while standing in a dead zone.

Inventory upgrades rank A-tier when sell trips exceed twice per mining push. Time spent walking to sell is time not mining; capacity upgrades buy back depth minutes.

B-Tier: Situational Power

Non-pickaxe mining speed helps during plateaus between pickaxe tiers — common mid-game per the mid-game walkthrough. Rebirth helper upgrades matter only when you are actively resetting within the next session; otherwise save cash for pickaxes.

Do not chase B-tier upgrades while still missing S-tier training — math always favors fixing strength first.

C-Tier: Luxuries That Feel Good

Movement speed and cosmetics do not move incremental meters. Buy them when S and A tiers are satisfied for your rebirth bracket and you literally cannot spend cash productively elsewhere — a happy problem near bottom pushes covered in the reach the bottom guide.

Upgrade Order Cheat Sheet

1. Training speed to match target mining layer.
2. First pickaxe tier that unlocks meaningful depth.
3. Sell multiplier so pickaxe fund regenerates.
4. Alternate pickaxe tiers and training as pickaxe list advises.
5. Offline boosters once AFK habit established.
6. Inventory if sell trips annoy you.
7. Rebirth at priority threshold — upgrades amplify next run.

Spending Mistakes This List Prevents

• Maxing movement before first rebirth while strength lags.
• Buying offline boosts without visiting offline zones on the map.
• Ignoring shop tabs because pickaxe icon is brightest in HUD — read UI and menus.
• Copying endgame upgrade builds from creators who rebirthed dozens of times.

Upgrades are invisible multipliers — less flashy than pickaxes, often more profitable. VERY LUCKY rewards players who read shop text and spend deliberately. Use this tier list as your shopping conscience and every rebirth run will feel richer without grinding extra hours.

Balancing Upgrades With Rebirth Timing

Heavy upgrade spending right before rebirth can still be correct if those purchases accelerate the final depth push that triggers your multiplier threshold. The opposite is also true: light upgrade spending after rebirth lets you re-buy pickaxes faster on a clean run. Track both sides with the rebirth priority list so you never dump cash into B-tier luxuries minutes before a reset wipes partial progress.

Endgame accounts chasing the bottom should revisit S-tier sell and training lines every rebirth — incremental costs scale, but so do marginal gains when layers take minutes per block.
