Prison Pickaxe Enchants Guide: Every Enchant, Perk and Max Level (2026)

Short answer: On Complex Prison (hub.mc-complex.com), you enchant your pickaxe with tokens in /upgrade. There are 11 pickaxe enchants, from Lucky Mining (more tokens) and Excavator (TNT explosions) to Torrent and Glitch, which unlock at Prestige 5 and 7. Each enchant has perks that unlock as you level it, plus Efficiency up to level 75 and Fortune up to 20. Start with Lucky Mining, Cellmate, Fortune and Excavator.

How pickaxe enchants work​

Hold your pickaxe and type /upgrade. Click an enchant to open it:

• Left-click a level to buy it with tokens.
• Right-click to see every level and its price.
• Shift-click to turn the enchant on or off.

Perks are extra upgrades inside each enchant. The first perk unlocks when the enchant reaches level 10, and each next perk unlocks when the perk before it reaches level 10 (Jackhammer's Fissure only needs level 5). Some perks also need a prestige or your gang's Fire Sale upgrade.
Other things in the /upgrade menu:

• Upgrade Guide: shows the next 3 upgrades the server recommends for you.
• Auto-Upgrades: pick enchants and perks to buy automatically whenever you have the tokens. It only works on a pickaxe you own.
• Hotstreaks: pick up to 3 enchants whose hotstreak can trigger. See the Augments, Hotstreaks and Mana Guide.

Only the pickaxe's owner can buy upgrades. If you mine with someone else's pickaxe, its enchants work at half level.

All pickaxe enchants​

"Tokens to max" is the total cost to take the enchant itself from level 1 to its max level (perks cost extra).

Sword and fishing rod enchants​

These are for Skull Island and are also upgraded in /upgrade, on a sword or axe.

• Seafarers Bounty: a chance to steal XP from Skull Island mobs. Perks: Vitality (steal health) and Absorption (needs gang Fire Sale, a gang-wide mob XP boost).

• Grappling (fishing rod, 500 tokens): pulls you toward your hook. Doesn't work while combat tagged.

Going past max level with Hidden Treasure​

Hidden Treasure raises the max level of one enchant or perk by 1, up to 5 times per upgrade. Drag it onto your pickaxe and choose the upgrade. Levels past the normal max cost tokens and XP. For example, Excavator 21 costs 550,000 tokens and 2,000,000 XP.

• Get Hidden Treasure from Skull Island mobs and bosses, or buy it from the Shard Merchant for 2,048 Gold Shards. See the Gold Shards Guide.
• It's contraband, so it drops if you die on Skull Island, and you can't apply it there.
• It doesn't work on Efficiency, Lottery, Jackpot, Cash Cow or Stabilizer.
