How to use this data

Use Jade without losing museum progress

Mineral pages are most useful when they separate first-donation decisions from sell, gift, crafting, or fish pond choices.

  1. Donate the first copy before treating later copies as flexible resources.
  2. If the item came from a geode, decide whether your next mining day needs more geodes, ore, or ladder progress before spending more money at the Blacksmith.
  3. Use the locations field to choose the lowest-friction source instead of chasing every possible source at once.
  4. When a use is marked in the data, keep one spare until the related goal is complete.
