Note: Rare functionality is still not completely understood and is an exciting aspect of the game. Most information listed is only an observation of one or more players rather than confirmed by developers.

Pickaxes with rare properties have been seen to mine faster.

Scalorn - 2013/08/22 - I made a supreme pickaxe and noticed it was returning +3.0 ql higher than the cap of the iron vein. The capped vein was 69, ore returned was 72. This was with 90 mining and a 65ql supreme pickaxe.
