Used for	Swings 10% faster than the base Pickaxe · 10% chance of a double resource · +5% Mining XP

Iron Pickaxe is the iron tier of the pickaxe ladder, forged through Smithing at Frostmere or at Harun's forge in Dunes West. It is the iron step of the copper → iron → silver tool progression, and was previously listed on this wiki as the Lvl 2 Pickaxe. It swings 10% faster than the base Pickaxe, has a 10% chance on each swing of gathering 2 resources instead of 1, and pays +5% Mining XP when a node is mined out.

Use

• Equip the Iron Pickaxe in a hotbar slot (keys 1–6), same as the base Pickaxe.
• Use it on rock nodes to gather Stone, Coal, Iron Ore, or Silver Ore depending on the region.
• Each swing yields 1 resource (2 on the 10% double roll, shown as a small gold +2 ×2 over the rock); Mining XP is granted when the node is depleted, with the Iron Pickaxe's +5% on top. Node size changes how many hits it takes to deplete, not the yield per hit.

Acquisition

• Forged from scratch through Smithing — no base Pickaxe is consumed.
• An unwanted Iron Pickaxe can be salvaged at the forge for up to 24 Iron Ingots (less if it's worn).

Crafting cost

Requires Smithing level 17.

Material	Amount
Iron Ingots	60
Wood	1,600

Durability

The Iron Pickaxe has 4,000 total durability and spends 1 durability per swing, regardless of node size.
