Able to crush

Grindable describes something that can be ground down, pulverized, or reduced to smaller particles: The coffee beans are grindable in any standard burr grinder.

In gaming, grindable refers to rewards, levels, or content that can be obtained through repetitive play: The new armor set is grindable through daily quests.
