Revision 1

The Copper Pickaxe is Windrose's first metal pickaxe. The live item page gives it 100 attack, calls it a decent alternative to a Stone Pickaxe, and says it is crafted at the Workbench from Copper Ingots and Wood.

Current Recipe and Stats

What the Item Description Actually Tells You

• It is better than the Stone Pickaxe.

• It still struggles with tougher stone, which is the game's blunt way of telling you copper is a bridge rather than the final answer.

• It is one of the cleanest first uses for Copper Ingot once your first furnace line is online.

Where It Sits in Progression

The Copper Pickaxe is the first point where the mining chain starts feeding itself. You smelt copper to make a better pickaxe, then use that better pickaxe to push toward the next material wall. It is a small craft on paper, but it marks the moment a world stops feeling stuck on beach-level scavenging.
