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?
- IIRC, how much you dig is closely related to how much damage you would have done to a monster. So enchantement and erosion definitely matter, but I don't thing beatitude does. -Tjr 19:19, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
- That matches with the results I got from the series of tests I did in wizard mode, thanks.

even prime or more (<1?)
