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. Its benefit is a 10% faster swing than the base Pickaxe — yield and Mining XP are unchanged by tool tier.
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; Mining XP is granted when the node is depleted — the same as every pickaxe tier. 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.
Crafting cost
Requires Smithing level 17.
