Cosmetic-Focused (Collector)

If you want the exclusive items:

2. Then work on Gardener's Hoe and Forester's Axe

3. Grab decoratives last

Escalation-Focused (Gambler)

If you love opening crates:

1. Trade crystals for higher-tier keys

2. More crate openings = more crystal drops

3. Cycle continues!
