''A tool for mining.''
== Note ==
A '''pickaxe''' is a tool with a metal head attached perpendicular to the handle, used primarily for [[mining]]. It is rather effective as a [[weapon]] compared to other tools, but should be disregarded once the [[player]] has access to proper weaponry.
Note that there are 2 3 versions of the pickaxe: the wooden 'newbie' pickaxe which cannot be [[improve]]d but does [[nodrop|not drop]] upon [[death]], and the normal iron version which can be improvedand the [[Crude pickaxe]] which can be created with a pickaxe head [[Pickaxe head (stone)|made of stone]].
On failure, the [[shaft]] is destroyed and the [[pickaxe head]] is turned to [[metal scrap]].
== Note ==
Unstable Build 2.7.0-2286 (6th Jan 2010), pickaxes will show the current slope up or down in the same manner of shovels. Unknown skill required.
