    Upgraded pick will save you time and energy, so absolutely.

    You can get desert totems from the trader (in the desert), but I don’t remember what she wants for it. Not as much material as building one yourself.

      Desert trader has totems for 3 omni geodes. Super cheap in my opinion. Just one good day in the mines can let you get like 20 totems.

    I typically focus first on things that give me more iridium: pickaxe (faster mining), crystalariums (jade = staircases and ruby = spicy eels), iridium band (big upgrade over either magnet or glowstone ring).

    Then I upgrade the other important tools (axe, hoe, water can) and get iridium sprinklers, depending on which is more pressing in a certain playthrough. I only upgrade stuff like the pan or the trash can when I don’t know what to do with iridium any more.
