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?)

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)
