Talk:Pickaxes

This page covers everything that all of the individual pickaxe pages cover, do we really need all of the indv. pages? --Justin 04:36, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Modifiers like the ones for accessories seem to apply to these items as well. Proof of legendary pickaxe: screenshot proof
 * That was hacked in with an Invedit program. They cannot legitly have a legendary prefix. --Moxxy 23:32, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Not true, I've reforged a nightmare pickaxe to legendary too - 94.171.160.148 19:01, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

We need to update the "destroys X in #Y number of hits" table to include the new pickaxes. - Spinfx (talk) 01:27, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Bone pickaxe speed
There really needs to be a mention that pickaxes like Nightmare and Bone have double (?) the mining speed despite having a lower "swing" speed. - 24.183.58.176 01:57, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you mean they have less swings to break a block, but their swing are slower? Compared to which other pick? Maybe they should be included in the "Pickaxe hits required to destroy blocks" table. I honestly haven't noticed a difference between them and other pickaxes, but if it's there it should be included. Summoningdark (talk) 02:05, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I'm not sure whether he means what my own observation just hinted at, but according to the table, a Palladium Pickaxe and a Molten Pickaxe both have a speed of 24 and need the same amount of hits for all kinds of blocks. But there seems to be an exception made for weaker blocks, where excess pickaxe power (e.g. hitting a 50% hitpoints block like dirt with a 130% power pickaxe) is converted into faster hit speed. According to the data here, a Palladium Pickaxe shouldn't mine dirt faster than a Molten Pickaxe, but it is a lot faster, as tested with a +12% speed Palladium vs. a +16% speed Molten. And then the Pickaxe Axe really goes off like a rocket against weak blocks. My Light Nightmare Pickaxe has effectively been made obsolete in all cases by a Quick Palladium Pickaxe, and the Palladium one by the Pickaxe Axe. And the thing is that this strange math does not apply to all pickaxes, because the Nightmare Pickaxe IS faster vs. weak blocks like dirt than the Molten Pickaxe. --87.144.18.224 05:16, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

poor wording
silver says "up to meteorite" tungston says "meteorite"

from the article alone you can't tell if silver can mine meteor. is it a >5 or >= 5 situation
 * wording should be consistent and clear throughout the chart for...clarity
 * clear for clarity.
 * need thesaurus rawr dinos


 * I've changed the wording now, hopefully it's a bit clearer. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 16:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Laser drill
I'm pretty sure this is considered a Drill, isn't it? So it should be removed from this list and added to the Drills page instead.
 * You're right. Totally forgot from that page. Moved it to its rightful place. Still need to find its mining speed.
