The dragon pickaxe debuted in conjunction with the Wilderness Rejuvenation on March 13, 2014. It requires 61 Mining use and 60 Attack to wield. It is tied for the second most powerful and fastest pickaxe with the 3rd age pickaxe, which is behind it is the Crystal pickaxe.

Dragon Pickaxe is the second-best of the bunch, starting us off into the members' section. You'll need a mining level of 61 to use this incredible pickaxe. It's 5.88% more effective over it's predecessor, the Rune Pickaxe, which becomes very apparent when competing against other players for the same ore.

This pickaxe also comes with an exclusive ability, but you'll need to have 60 Attack in order to use the pickaxe in order to benefit from this ability(Rock Knocker). It temporarily boosts your mining level by +3 It can also be used to mine ores you do not have the ability to mine.

For instance, if you were to mine Adamant Ore and only had 67 mining, you'd have the special to boost to 70 mining in order to swiftly try the process of mining. Quite useful! And lastly, this pickaxe is needed for a master clue at the altar of souls.

Excluding waiting for ores to come back or moving to a different source It is effectively a 5.88 percent improvement in mining speed , compared with the rune pickaxe. The default setting for the dragon pickaxe provides the possibility to mine ore every three ticks, with an additional 1/6 chance to decrease this number to two ticks. An Attack level of 60 is required to wield the pickaxe, while 61 Mining is required to mine ores with the pickaxe. However, as long as an individual has 60 Attack in order to use the pickaxe, the unique attack is able to mine with the pickaxe starting at level 58.

Special attack

The special attack of the dragon pickaxe, Rock Knocker, temporarily boosts the player's Mining level by 3 (players require 60 Attack to be able to use this unique). This consumes all of the player's special attack power. The increased level from the special attack will allow the player to mine a rock beyond the current level of mining.

This effect is useful as an interim boost to mining speed, in order to meet the mining requirements for which you aren't at the right necessary mining skills, or to mine the Crashed Star which is one level higher than your currently available skills.

However, it is not advised to use this method for getting experience, as the time between special attacks makes it slower than mining lower-level ores. If used in conjunction with the Lightbearer ring, special attack energy regenerates twice as fast, making it possible to continuously mine rocks that are 1-2 levels higher than the base.

So long as a person has 60 Attack to handle the pickaxe, the special attack is able to mine using the pickaxe from level that is 58. If the actual Mining level falls below 58, then a second pickaxe of lower tier will have to be stored in the inventory to actually mine.

Note that any levels boosted above 99 with this special attack are regarded as 99. So, you'll start to see a decline in the returns you receive from the special attack when you are between 97 and 98, with having no benefit from speccing at level 99.

Upgrades

The players can combine a glowing stone and a dragon pickaxe to make an infernal tool, which requires 85 Smithing (boosts are not permitted) for this to be done. This is a process that cannot be reversed. The infernal pickaxe gives the player an opportunity to disintegrate ore for Smithing experience while mining. The infernal pickaxe is capable of disintegrating 5,000 ore before degrading, requiring another smouldering stone or dragon pickup to power it. The effect is not able to be switched off.

Players can also create crystal pickaxes using the singing bowl. This is done by mixing with a dragon pickaxe 120 crystal shards and a crystal tool seed. This requires levels 76smithing and crafting, which can be boosted. If players are unable to create the crystal by themselves it is possible to have Conwenna and Reese sing the crystal for them , for 60 crystal shards. This will give a total of 180.

In addition, players can apply an upgrade kit for their dragon pickaxe, Trailblazer tool ornament kit or Zalcano shard to enhance the appearance of their dragon pickaxes. They can create the"darker pickaxe (upgraded) or dragon pickaxe (or) (Trailblazer) and a dragon pickaxe (or) depending on. This only alters its appearance and renders the pickaxe impossible to trade. This process is reversible to the original method, however the dragon pickaxe upgrade kit won't remain, while it's Trailblazer tool and the shard are.
