What should beginners upgrade first in Mine a Mountain?

Upgrade the blocker that ends your runs: warmth for freezing, backpack for capacity, and pickaxe for slow mining.

Should beginners wait for rare crystals?

Short, safe selling routes are better until crystal values and drop rates are verified.

Beginner guide

Use this guide for the first climbs: mine crystals, sell before the run stalls, and upgrade the stat that fixes your current bottleneck.

First session

Mine a Mountain is about climbing, digging rare crystals, selling them for cash, and improving warmth, pickaxe power, and backpack space.

Sell crystals before the backpack pressure or cold risk turns the run into a loss of time.

Choose warmth if freezing stops you, backpack if capacity ends runs, and pickaxe power if mining takes too long.

The official page mentions +1 Digging Luck for liking and joining the group, but exact drop formulas still need checking.
