bob34763w9 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, I was wondering what the drop rate for the dragon pickaxe is. Runescape Wiki says it is extremely rare but if there is alegitimate percentage I want to know what it is. The reason I ask is because currently I am attempting to get one for myselfby killing Dwogres. Also, if someone knows whether or not a ring of wealth has any effect on the drop rate of the dragon pickaxeI would like to know that as well.Thanks in advance :smile: .

Sinkhan Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 While the drop rates might be a bit lower, the cannoneers and regular chaos dwarves are purported to also drop them and they should be a lot easier to kill. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry_king Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The drop rate is largest with Chaos Dwogers, it is 1/750 which is pretty large considering that the pickaxe is worth 14.4m currently. A ring of wealth would effect this making it as little as 1/700. A percentage for those numbers are .13% without ring of wealth and .14% with ring of wealth Hope this helps you. Any questions pm me on game. Henry King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 ^ Way to bump an old topic AND supply false information at the same time. I got about 28 hand cannons before getting a dragon pickaxe. I killed about 75% cannoneers + chaos dwarves and 25% dwogres. The drop rate is very slim. Ring of Wealth does NOT affect the dragon pickaxe's droprate. I'd recommend hand cannoneers. You can get about 600k profit/h from these guys without the dragon pickaxe. If we say 30 hand cannons per pickaxe, you *should* get a pickaxe every 20 hours, bumping up the profit to about 2m/h. Still seems pretty high to me so I'd imagine the drop rate would be even lower. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssamriga Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ring of Wealth does NOT affect the dragon pickaxe's droprate. Can you quote Jagex on that please? Playing since February 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gremmy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ring of Wealth does NOT affect the dragon pickaxe's droprate. Quoting Jagex...The ring of wealth comes into play whenever you are rolling on the rare drop table, its ability effectively removing most of the empty slots, drastically increasing your chances of receiving an item from the rare drop table. (...)The rare drop table contains some of the more exclusive items in the game, including, but not limited to, dragon items(...)Don't hang me up on this, but I'm pretty sure a dragon pickaxe is of the material dragon... Source Now quit it. Wealth affects it. As for the droprate I heard 1:600-700 :) Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)Dagannoth kings drops: 73Barrows item count: 51GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)Whips: 4Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Read and quote the whole thing next time before you make a fool out of yourself: The rare drop table is shared between a variety of NPCs - e.g. goblins, fire giants, most Slayer creatures. A good way to tell is that if an NPC is known to drop a half key, then it will drop other items from the rare drop table. There are, however, certain very rare drops that are not on the rare drop table, because they are specific to certain NPCs or NPC types (e.g. the draconic visage is only ever dropped by dragons; godsword pieces only by the God Wars Dungeon bosses) and it would not make sense for these items to be dropped by, say, a fire giant. This means that any item that is affected by the ROW is dropped by MOST monsters. These items can be deduced empirically to be:uncut gemshalf keysdragon spearsdragon left half shieldsrune spearsrune javelins (5)nature talismanIt would not make sense for the dragon pickaxe to be affected by the ROW because the dragon pickaxe is not dropped by many other monsters.

TokHaar Soul Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 To clear it all up Dragon pickaxes are very rare drops from Chaos dwogres, Chaos dwarf hand cannoneers, and level 40 Chaos dwarveson the Chaos Dwarf Battlefield (level 68 Chaos dwarves do *not* drop the pickaxe) after completion of the quest. They are also a possible reward from theTriskelion Treasures. The quest does *not*need to be completed in order to use this item. The ring of wealth does not affect the chance to get the pickaxe as a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stev Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks. Locking this as it's clearly been answered and any posts afterward are therefore a grave-dig. :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
