Explosive and Jackhammer Level 5000 are not as good as they should be

[Destrod]

I've been grinding prison for about 5 days now. I really enjoy the rate of progression in this game mode, but the reason I created this thread, although quite obvious, does bother me alot. I was getting around 2.5K beacons per minute with Explosive 4000 in P200 mines, which is a pretty good rate for someone who just started playing. However, I'm starting to regret prestiging my pick to P4, and extremely regretting getting Explosive Level 5000. The rates, would you believe it, have gotten worse! I went from 2.5k average to now barely getting 1.5K beacons per minute, and Explosive 5000 doesnt actually increase the blast radius, it just makes the blasts more uniform. Considering this is supposed to be highest level pickaxe in the game, I was expecting it to, not suck?
And then jackhammer. Now I've seen alot of experienced players endorse this enchant, but again, at Jackhammer level 5000, with Soul Luck 3 mind you, I'm getting less than 100 beacons per minute. A hundred! that's worse than, literally any non-starter pick!
These enchants are quite broken, and despite spending around 30M tokens on them, I have actually worsened my rates, even after getting Beacon Finder 5000, and spending tons of soul gems to get Soul Luck 3. Is there something wrong on my client's side? Or are these enchants just bad?

Hello!
I'll simply state some pointers you haven't accounted for.

• These enchantments weren't meant for beacon farming, that was more of a side-hustle
• JackHammer & Explosive have their own uses, as Explosive is efficient at the start of the season but as one applies Soul Luck, the activation rate of explosive maxes out on only a few SL levels, while JackHammer keeps improving thus making it a good choice (To mine with)
• The mode isn't based on beacons, though recent seasons the systems a bit faulty thus beacons are prioritized though there are many other aspects such as Cash & Token farming > Beacon Farming (Depending on the time of season & economy)

Also, the higher prestige mine you go to the more beacons you acquire, & Explosive specifically breaks beacons (even though it may not seem as though sometimes) while JackHammer is built for a more late/objective task such as mining Tokens / Cash etc.

You don't need explosive 5000, Explosive 4000 with Soul Luck does the exact same thing as Explosive has a limited blast radius that can't be further effected as it's proc chance at that stage is 100%, while JackHammer is Based on activation chance which can always improve.

If you want get star crates or raw mining for events I recommend you not to use explosives. Jackhammer are useful for treasure chest event and raw mining.
You can put explosive on your autominer pickaxe and use it in the pvp mine that is the safest way to get those beacons in pvp mine.
