The Pick/Axe is a craftable Item found in the Ancient Tab. It requires 1 Luxury Axe, 1 Opulent Pickaxe and 2 Thulecite, and an Ancient Pseudoscience Station to craft. It also has a 5% or 50% chance to be found inside an Ornate Chest or a Large Ornate Chest respectively. Like all items from the Ancient Tab, Pick/Axes cannot be prototyped and Characters always need to be near an Ancient Pseudoscience Station to craft them again.

The Pick/Axe can be used as both a Pickaxe and an Axe, but takes 20% fewer swings to accomplish the same work. A Large Evergreen takes 12 swings instead of 15, a standard Boulder 5 hits instead of 6. The game only counts whole swings, not fractional ones, so without other bonuses, only items that take 5 swings or more will benefit.

Each chopping use will reduce its durability by 0.25%, mining by 0.75%. When used exclusively to chop or mine it has double the durability of the 2x Luxury Axe (800) or 2x Opulent Pickaxe (267). The 20% bonus makes the Pick/Axe the fastest pick usable by all characters. The Pick/Axe saves inventory space by combining the two tools and by eliminating the need to carry flint or gold to craft them when they break.

Tips

• The Luxury Axe and Opulent Pickaxe used in the recipe can be in any condition without affecting the durability of the resulting Pick/Axe.
• When a Pick/Axe is low on durability, players can use a Deconstruction Staff to get both the Luxury Axe and Opulent Pickaxe back each at 100% durability, plus one thulecite.
• In , Thulecite is only renewable via Seed Of Ruin or World Hop. Even though they take a second inventory slot and mine 20% slower, Opulent Pickaxes and Luxury Axes may be a better bargain because Gold Nuggets and Twigs are so much easier to acquire.
• The Pick/Axe is the fastest mining tool that is usable by all characters, but the Obsidian Axe chops trees several times faster.

Trivia

• The Pick/Axe used to be called "Multitool" and had a different look before being implemented with the Stuff of Nightmares update.
