Fluxite upgrades include four Digging Speed levels at +15% each, with only the first two costs confirmed as 100 and 500, plus one Broader Shovel level costing 400 Fluxite.
Limits and Verification
Exact cone dimensions, base cooldown, damage and the third and fourth Digging Speed costs are unknown. The missing prices stay “unknown” and are not extrapolated from the first two levels.
