Description

Pickaxe
Pickaxe
This is a large and sturdy tool for breaking rocks. Probably it can be used as a weapon.


Use

See also: Dark Gold Ore side-quest

If the Hero/ine is standing near a wall with dark gold ore in it, the Pickaxe will remove the gold from the tile and place it into the Hero/ine's backpack. The Pickaxe can be placed in the quick slot of the tool bar, much like wands, or ranged weapons; and tapping it will allow your Hero/ine to mine any adjacent gold ore, without having to open the Backpack first.

It takes 2 turns to mine a Dark Gold Ore.
The Hero/ine gets hungrier by 10 SP when a Dark Gold Ore is mined.

See also: Vampire Bat side-quest

It can also be used as a weapon, as part of the Troll Blacksmith's alternate quest.
To complete the troll's alternate quest of slaying a Vampire bat, the Hero/ine must equip the Pickaxe as a weapon, and then slay a single bat. Once the bat is slain, the Pickaxe will become blood-stained and glows dark red.

The Pickaxe is not upgradeable.

Obtaining

The Pickaxe is given to you only after speaking to the Troll blacksmith.

Tips

  • Be careful while hunting, as the Pickaxe inflicts very low damage.
