How to get Pickaxes in Monopoly GO

Monopoly GO has just released the Jungle Treasures event in Monopoly GO, and the only way you’re gonna get those treasures is by using Pickaxes.

Getting pickaxes in Monopoly GO

Unlike the certain events in Monopoly GO, Pickaxes aren’t earned through Pickups. Instead, you can only get Pickaxes through taking part in other events, similar to how you get points for the Partner Events. You can get Pickaxes through all of the below methods:

• Tournament placement and Milestone rewards
• Milestone event rewards
• Free Gifts (replenished every 8 hours)
• Daily Treats
• Quick Wins
• Jungle Treasures level rewards

Unlike dice and cash, you actually can’t buy Pickaxes from the store, for anyone who doesn’t mind spending real cash on the game. This means that you’ll have to earn your way through this event.

The best way to get Pickaxes in Monopoly GO

I’ve found that the best way to get pickaxes in Monopoly GO for the Jungle Treasures event is by making sure to complete the Quick Wins. You don’t have to immediately complete them when they become available, but making sure to complete all three Quick Wins before they refresh is very important.

Each Quick Win completion so far has netted me four pickaxes, which has allowed me to progress in the event. To maximize your chances, and if you have low dice, only use the 1x multiplier when trying to hit your Quick Wins

Quick Wins refresh every day, so the pickaxes you can earn are limited. This means that you won’t be able to rely on the Quick Wins to get you through the event.

Making sure to grab the free gifts has also helped. The pickaxes from the Milestone events and tournaments are certainly welcomed, although working towards them is a little more passive. To really earn Pickaxes through the rewards in the Tournaments, make sure to switch opponents during Shutdowns to find the most vulnerable friend to almost guarantee a successful hit. More points could mean that you earn more Pickaxes!

The ultimate way to gain pickaxes in Monopoly GO, however, is to save them! Making sure to play smart and not waste your pickaxes is the key. Some levels are rather tricky, and it quickly becomes a guessing game to find those 1×1 treasures. All the others, however, do allow skill to come into play.

I hope that this has proved useful, fellow mogul, and that you’ll have more pickaxes than you know what to do with.
