Cursory examination of the code suggests that pick-axe skill plays no part in digging with a pick-axe. Someone more knowledgeable cold say for sure.76.22.123.186 06:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Blessing?
Does blessing affect the results one obtains whilst digging with a pick-axe?

even prime or more (<1?)
considering that shop-keepers won't allow them in store, is there theoretically, any reason to have 2 (or more) pick-axes? I 'm quessing yes, but as a practical concern would you ever do so? Guessing answer conditional, I ask, any brief insights as to when to fish or cut bait on such a situation?00:24, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
- You can carry several pick-axes to a store, hoping to find an enchanted one. (They dig a bit faster IIRC.) If you can't carry much weight, you might deposit several pick-axes around the dungeon instead of carrying one. A pet dwarf can tunnel out maze levels with a pick. Other than that, I can't come up with a good reason to have several pick-axes. Tjr 22:03, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
