Pickaxe is the gathering tool used for Mining. New characters receive a basic Pickaxe (shown in game as the Starter Pickaxe) free from the Old Miner in The Mine. The other starter tools come from their own NPCs — the Lumberjack gives the Axe, the Old Fisher gives the Basic Fishing Rod, the Site Foreman gives the Hammer, and the Quartermaster issues the Sword.
Use
- Equip the Pickaxe in a hotbar slot (keys 1–6).
- Use it on rock nodes — what a rock gives depends on the region: Wilderness rocks yield Stone and Coal, and Frostmere rocks yield Iron Ore (Mining 5 required).
- The Starter Pickaxe never wears out, but it does nothing in The Dunes — Silver Ore there needs Mining 20 and a forged pickaxe (copper or better).
Acquisition
- Free from the Old Miner in the Mines.
- The Lvl 2 Pickaxe (iron tier) is a separate craft via Smithing — it is forged from scratch, gathers the same yield and XP, and swings faster. See Smithing for the full copper → iron → silver ladder.
