A swing uses swing damage; a thrust uses thrust damage. These are alternatives, not two damages added to every hit.

EXPLORATION USE
How this tool is used
You do not need to carry a pickaxe weapon just to mine the checked ore veins in the Catacomb or Moor.
Mining and prying use a temporary tool shown by the interaction animation; it is created for the action, rather than taken from an equipped weapon or inventory slot.
The checked ore veins and breachable doors in the Catacomb and Moor do not require a carried pickaxe or crowbar. Use the interaction prompt; equipping a pickaxe weapon does not unlock every rock or door.
Some separate gathering points have their own skill requirements. Missing an interaction prompt is not proof that a weapon-shaped tool is missing.
EFFECTS & CONDITIONS
Special properties and effects
Component bonuses are already included in the result above.
Thrust damage -20%.
Knobbed ShaftAttack stamina cost +15; Attack speed -40%; Damage falloff per additional target +33%.
Pickaxe HeadPiercing property
These hits skip the player armour reduction step and its material resistances. A thrust animation alone does not grant this property.
Pickaxe Head10% chance to electrify
Melee hits have a 10% chance to electrify. The effect lasts 2 seconds, dealing 10 base damage every second, separately from the weapon hit.
When it applies: Works on goblins and skeletons too, with a 33% spread chance within 1.5 m. Configurable arrows do not gain this electric effect.
Repeated electric effects
The same electric effect refreshes to 2 seconds without stacking damage.
How the bonuses apply
Applies when this component is part of equipped gear. Percent changes to the same stat are added together; action-specific damage only applies when that action is available.
Applies when this component is part of equipped gear. Percent changes to the same stat are added together; action-specific damage only applies when that action is available. A larger falloff value means less damage after the first target, not more cleave damage.
These material effects describe the listed default assembly. Changing the striking component’s material can change its properties and on-hit effects. Component adjustments are listed as sources, not an extra bonus to apply again to the calculated assembly.
USING THIS ENTRY
Use & common questions
Grip and shield compatibility
The listed Knobbed Shaft grip/shaft occupies both hands and disables the off-hand shield while this weapon is drawn. A different blade does not by itself change this grip’s hand requirement.
Game preset reference · before component bonuses
Pickaxe Head: Amethyst Bronze (Rare)
- Swing base damage
- 27.5 points
- Thrust base damage
- 11 points
These fixed reference values do not follow the selectors. Your selected weapon and its calculation are shown above.
Attacks and armour
- Swing hit
- Piercing: skips the player armour step
- Thrust hit
- Piercing: skips the player armour step
Each hit uses the damage for its actual move: swing or thrust, never their sum. The weapon has a separate value for each move; armour reducing both does not make them a single attack.
The listed component has Piercing, so its hits skip the player armour step and its material resistances. This does not bypass blocking.
