Raeyin generally advises that players buy pickaxes if possible, gold if they desire extras and can afford to. Energy is recommended for those who wish to be highly competetive in Team Challenges. However, silver and tonic can be gotten other ways if you play right, and who needs the extra expense? Please see Strategy for more ways to get silver and tonic.
