What each pass actually unlocks
The four descriptions follow the same template. Three of them say the pass bypasses the anvil's Index requirement; the 200x one says something more specific.
| Pass | Multiplier | Price | What its description promises |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25x Anvil | 25x | 199 R$ | Unlocks the anvil and bypasses its Index requirement; Power scales with your equipped pickaxe |
| 50x Anvil | 50x | 299 R$ | Same terms as the 25x, at 50x |
| 100x Anvil | 100x | 399 R$ | Same terms as the 25x, at 100x |
| 200x Anvil | 200x | 499 R$ | Unlocks the anvil without completing 24 Index entries |
That last line is the only place in the whole shop where an Index number appears. It tells you two things: the 200x anvil normally wants 24 entries, and buying the pass is how you skip that.
The Index gate is not the same for every anvil
Three descriptions say the pass bypasses "the anvil's Index requirement" without saying how many entries each anvil wants. Only the 200x states a number. If you are deciding between the 100x at 399 and the 200x at 499, the extra 100 Robux is buying twice the multiplier and a documented skip of a 24-entry gate.
Our read: the 200x is the only one where you can check both sides of the trade before paying. The other three ask you to trust a phrase.
What the multiplier applies to
The pass text says Power is earned "based on your equipped pickaxe", which makes the anvil a multiplier on your current tool rather than a flat income. That matters when you are choosing between an anvil pass and a pickaxe: the anvil multiplies whatever you already carry, so it gets better as the pickaxe gets better.
There is a second multiplier that stacks in the same area. The permanent 2x AFK Speed boost, at 79 Robux, doubles Power earned in AFK areas including anvils and AFK rocks. A 79-Robux boost next to a 199-Robux pass is worth understanding before you buy either one.
What nobody has published
No source gives Power per minute, a per-anvil tick rate, or how much Power a given pickaxe produces. The passes describe their effect in multipliers and requirements, not in numbers, and the game does not print a rate on screen in the footage we checked. Anyone who quotes "X Power per hour on the 200x anvil" is extrapolating.
The same gap applies to the Index requirements of the 25x, 50x and 100x. We can tell you the pass skips them. We cannot tell you the entry count each one wants, because it is not published and we have not seen it on screen.
Who should buy which
If you already train while away from the keyboard, the 2x AFK Speed boost at 79 is the cheapest way to double the same session, and the anvil passes stack on top of it. If you have not started training, an anvil pass multiplies something you are not doing yet.
Our read on the order: pickaxe first, then the 79 AFK boost, then the anvil pass that matches how often you actually leave the game running. The full shop comparison sits on the game pass page, the wider Power picture is on the Power page, and the gate itself is explained on Index rewards.
