Revision 4

Overview

Stone Pickaxe is the game's starter mining tool. It is the required implement for breaking copper ore veins inside the Copper Caves and is the first pickaxe most players craft.

Crafting

Uses

• Mine Copper Ore nodes in Copper Caves.

• Break grey boulders hiding the entrances to deeper cave chambers.

• Harvest Stone from open rock in the Coastal Jungle.

Upgrade Path

Upgrade to Copper Pickaxe once copper ingots are available, then to Iron Pickaxe once the Foothills unlock. Stone Pickaxe remains a solid backup since its ingredients are always free.

Additional Targets

Beyond Copper Ore and common Stone, the Stone Pickaxe is also the first tool that can harvest:

• Clay: from muddy ground near coastal grass-to-shoreline transitions. Required for Rosalinda Mercer's bottle-making loop.

• Fertile Soil: at Foothills Ancient Farm POIs. Required to build Seedbeds, which unlock the farming pipeline.

Tool Durability

Pickaxes have an explicit durability pool that ticks down with each swing. The Stone Pickaxe shows 100 durability in the item panel, and each swing against a node consumes a portion of that pool. The Copper Pickaxe is a clear upgrade at 140 durability and 270 ATK, enough that long mining runs stop feeling like a durability tax.
