warrior5024 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I was just wondering if anybody had any data or atleast opinions on how effective the dragon pickaxe is compared to the rune. I'm mostly concerned with Runite ores, so any help is appreciated.thank you So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Codguy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well, you'd have to trust that it is more efficient, as there would be no point to it. However, I believe tests have shown that, similar to the Dragon Hatchet versus the Rune Hatchet, the Dragon Pickaxe is ~10-15% more efficient than the Rune Pickaxe at mining ores. So, this would be good for anything that is above Iron basically. If you can afford it, it's worth buying, and selling back after you've done what you want with your Mining.

aspeeder Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's 15% faster than rune while mining pure essence, and those mine at a constant speed, and since that same kind of efficiency boost can be seen using rune compared to other pickaxes it'd be worth the investment. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
