How to Upgrade Drills in Roblox My Drill Farm (Noob to Mythic)

How crates, drill rarities, and reinvested cash push you from your first drill to a top-tier Mythic.

How crates, drill rarities, and reinvested cash push you from your first drill to a top-tier Mythic.

My Drill Farm turns a plot of empty ground into a passive money machine, and the whole climb from a starter drill to a Mythic runs on one loop: buy crates, pull better drills, collect cash, and spend it on more crates. The game is a simulation and tycoon experience from Handcrafted Games, first released in July 2025, and reaching the highest drill tiers is a matter of understanding how that loop compounds.

Quick answer: You cannot buy a Mythic drill directly. Open crates to roll higher-rarity drills, then reinvest every payout into more crates. A Mythic appears as a rare crate result, so more crate pulls is the only reliable way to reach it.

How drills and crates work in My Drill Farm

Drills are the only thing that earns money, and you get them almost entirely from crates. Each crate you open rolls a drill of some rarity, and that rarity sets how much cash the drill produces. Weaker drills come out often; stronger drills, including Mythic, are rare pulls. There is no upgrade button that turns a low drill into a high one, so your drill quality is tied directly to how many crates you can afford to open.

Drills sit on drill plots inside themed zones. Some plots come in normal and golden variants, and golden versions produce more than their normal counterparts. As you earn, you unlock more plots and better crate tiers, which raises the ceiling on the drills you can pull.

Getting from a noob drill to a Mythic

Open crates as often as your cash allows. Crate luck is what determines drill strength, so raw volume of pulls matters more than anything else in the early game. Prioritise the highest crate tier you can afford, since better crates carry better odds at higher rarities.
Reinvest early rather than spending on cosmetics. Push every payout back into crates and upgrades so your income compounds. Skipping this and sitting on cash is the main reason players stall before reaching high-tier drills.
Chase golden plots and higher zones as they open. Golden variants and later zones raise your per-drill output, which in turn funds more crate pulls and better odds at a Mythic.
Keep pulling until a Mythic drops. Because Mythic is a rare crate result, there is no fixed number of crates that guarantees it. Steady reinvestment shortens the wait by letting you open far more crates per session.

Note: Since drill rarity is random, two players with the same cash can end up with very different top drills. Consistent crate opening is what evens that out over time.

Offline earnings keep your farm running

Drills generate money even while you are logged out. That offline income means the farm you build keeps producing between sessions, so returning after a break gives you a lump of cash to sink straight into more crates. This is the idle side of the tycoon design, and it rewards players who log in, collect, reinvest, and leave.


Game modes and events

My Drill Farm runs three modes, plus limited-time seasonal content that layers extra rewards on top of the normal loop.

ModeFocus
Classic ModeStandard crate-and-drill progression
Infinite Drill ModeOpen-ended drilling and expansion
Event ModeSeasonal, limited-time content

Seasonal events introduce their own currencies and unboxing, such as candy collection during Halloween. Event items are time-limited and can boost progress or hold resale value, so it is worth logging in while an event is live rather than after it ends.

Codes status

There are no working My Drill Farm codes right now. If the developers add a redemption reward later, it would apply on top of the crate loop rather than replacing it. Until then, crate pulls and reinvestment remain the only way to grow your drills.


How to know your setup is working

You know the loop is paying off when each crate you buy is affordable again within a short collection, and when new drills replacing older ones show higher income figures on their plots. A Mythic is confirmed by the drill’s rarity label when it comes out of a crate; place it, and your total field income should jump noticeably compared with lower-tier drills. If income feels stuck, the usual cause is holding cash instead of reopening crates.

You can jump into the game and start the loop from its official My Drill Farm page on Roblox. From there, it is the same simple cycle every time: buy crates, place drills, collect money, and keep reinvesting until a Mythic finally drops.
