28+Pickaxes have durability and degrade per swing. The KeenGamer guide reports roughly 20 nodes per Stone Pickaxe before it breaks. This is a single-source figure and may vary by node type, so do not plan your Copper-farming run around an exact count. The Copper Pickaxe is consistently described as significantly more durable and faster than the Stone Pickaxe.
