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); 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.
