Pickaxes[edit]

Pickaxes, or 'picks', are needed to mine rocks for ore. They can be equipped as a weapon, giving players some more space in their inventory. However, pickaxes cannot be smithed. Pickaxes can either be bought from Nurmof in the Dwarven Mines or from other players. Nurmof's shop is labelled on the mini-map as a gold pickaxe.

The higher a level needed to use a pickaxe, the better it is than the ones below it. For example, a rune pick will mine rocks faster than an adamanite pick.

Pick Mining level required Cost to buy from Nurmof Market price
Bronze 1 1 50
Iron 1 137 100-120
Steel 6 500 300-500
