Description

A tool for mining.

Usage

  • 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.

Notes

  • There is no penalty for failure in creation of an iron pickaxe.
  • Note that there are 3 versions of the pickaxe:


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. Needed 15 shovel skill before I could see slope with pickaxe equiped. 20:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Rare Functionality

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.
