Talk:Mining pick

While playing the first open beta weekend I noticed I had something like 'ruined copper' in my inventory and when I moused over it it said 'your mining pick was not of a good enough quality to mine this material'. I didn't think to get a screenshot as I was having too much fun at the time but did anyone else notice this and does it mean that better picks will be avaialble to craft/buy when the game goes live? 85.210.165.56 06:33, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

New mining picks[edit]

Apparently some new fine (blue) mining picks are missed here. For example, the picks (and other tools) sold by Barre Scorchmane in LA. In particular, he sells the Scavenger's Mining Pick, which is listed twice: 50 picks for 350 and 7350 karma. It's quite strange, or maybe there is a catch :-) Good work for active Wiki authors. --109.252.109.50 16:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Unlimited mining picks[edit]

I propose either separating unlimited mining picks into a different table, or removing them and using some other existing list of them such as the Unlimited gathering tool nav (to reduce duplicate work and information). Of course, whatever is done here would also have to be done to Logging axe and Harvesting sickle.

Example:

Unlimited gathering tools have infinite charges, no required level, and are capable of mining any ore node. Some are provided with a gathering glyph already applied.
Name Cost Glyph
Molten Alliance Mining Pick 1,000 Gem
Bone Pick 1,000 Gem
Watchwork Mining Pick 1,000 Gem Glyph of the Watchknight.pngGlyph of the Watchknight
Mine-r-Tron 1,000 Gem
Mad Scientist's Mining Tool 1,000 Gem
Firefly Mining Flute 1,000 Gem

Unbreakable Mining Pick 2,400 Gem for the set

Sounds like a reasonable proposal. I'm all for separating gem store tools and limited tools you buy for normal currencies. Go for it! User Incarnazeus Signature.pngtalk 13:16, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
