Create a dedicated Iron Pickaxe page from current Windrose.tools data and launch-week sulfur coverage.
The Iron Pickaxe is the mid-game mining tool that starts tying the Foothills resource chain together. The live item page gives it 200 attack, crafts it from Foothills Iron Ingots and Wood, and describes it as a tool that makes mining ore much easier.

It is the clear mining upgrade over the Copper Pickaxe.
PC Gamer's launch-week gunpowder guide points players to the Iron Pickaxe as the tool step they need before mining Sulfur.
Once the sulfur route opens, the Millstones and Gunpowder chain finally becomes dependable instead of loot-dependent.
The Iron Pickaxe is one of the cleaner examples of Windrose's layered progression. First you gather ore. Then you refine it into ingots. Then those ingots buy you a better tool. Then the better tool opens another resource tier. The tool itself is simple. The timing of it is what matters.
Foothills Iron Ingot - the direct recipe input
Sulfur - the resource players usually care about once the Iron Pickaxe is ready
Millstones - the station that turns sulfur into homemade gunpowder
Gunpowder - the main reason this pickaxe matters beyond raw attack value
