And nobody will be selling them after getting 99 wc/mining. Who have bought 2nd pick/axe before this update? Who died and lost his axe/pick? Nobody. My D pick came from a death pile in barrows (very recently, during the double drop weekend), so yes, people do lose them. Your guess is also good as mine though, I had no idea what the guy was thinking. I won't be adding d pick to my belt anyhow, since I can't add Gilded d pick to it, which pretty much forces me to do carry the d pick with me when i do serious mining (and thereby making a d pick on the belt rather useless, since I'd only ever use that pick to mine an odd rune work or on a quest, which a rune pick would suffice). It shouldn't, unless they somehow went out of their way and coded that. People use the picks fine back when you could only add bronze picks/axes in there. It should either use the better of the two or use the one you have on you if you have one
