Pickaxe/Mining Pickaxe
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2020 10:55 am
There's a random drop (I think from crates/barrels?) called a 'Pickaxe' in the matrix, which even has description text suggesting it is beneficial in mining ore.
It took me a little bit of luck and close reading to work out that this is not the same as the 'Mining Pickaxe' craftable which actually makes mining better. I suspect given how new the latter is it's a legacy issue but might be worth removing the former from the matrix for the avoidance of confusion (unless they both work the same way for mining, but if so, it has still caused me confusion of a different flavour!).
Also, minor but related:
1) the pickaxe (both versions) use the battleaxe model, could they be updated to the pick models now that those are in the server?
2) I think the craftable Mining Pickaxe is supposed to have a -1AB/Damage property - this is suggested by the Wiki and would be consistent with the Gem Mining Hammer and Logging Axe, but when I crafted one yesterday it didn't.
