WIKI - Idle Pixel
(Redirected from Shiny)

Orbs are special type of upgrades, which may help the player with many various skills. The chance of receiving orbs is also increased depending on the Key used when opening a chest and the chest type.


The relative value of some orbs change drastically depending upon the game mode. This is almost entirely due to a lack of market access.

Below are a pair of tier lists created in late Nov 2024.

Softcore Tier List

S - Game-changing, almost necessary for progression

A - Very helpful, massive time saver, though not needed

B - Useful, though limited in use

C - Not very helpful, but not completely useless

D - Very few uses, niche uses, or nearly irrelevant

F - Reroll if possible. Irrelevant.

* Hammer and Pickaxe orbs become useless after level 100, and become less helpful as your levels increase (except for pursuing leaderboard).
** Oil storage orb can be useful for a couple of achievements, but is mostly unnecessary
*** Boat orb affects Pirate Ship and Submarine, giving it much larger value late-game
**** Raid orb is a great time saver when needing/wanting to do raids, since you or people in a team can use it.
