You might hear people say “Floor 5 is the best for copper.” And sure, early on, you grind there. But Floor 5 is a trap after you hit level 20.
Why? It’s all dirt. You spend half your energy breaking useless rocks. Plus, it’s crawling with bugs that get stuck in your hair. Ugh.
Floors 21-39 have less dirt, more copper nodes, and easier enemies. It’s like upgrading from a rusty bicycle to a comfortable scooter. Same goal, way less sweat.
A Little Life Comparison
Imagine you’re making a big batch of spaghetti. You wouldn’t start by boiling a single noodle to check the water, right? You’d get the whole pot boiling first.
That’s what the right floor does for your copper run. Instead of chipping away at a few pieces here and there, you go to a concentrated zone. You fill your backpack fast, and then you can go do the fun stuff.
It’s the difference between having to mine and choosing to mine. When you know the best spot, it feels like a treat, not a chore.
