Neohero1972 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi I'm thinking of purchasing a dragon pickaxe, but i'm in doubt as to its effectiveness compared to a rune pickaxe ? The reason for asking is that i remember all too well when i switched from an addy to a rune pickaxe (the rune is 10 times as expensive) and thought; "now i can really deal some damage to those pesky rocks !", but as it turned out i didn't felt that 10 times more expensive pickaxe did that much of a difference. Is the dragon pickaxe yet another Jagex rip-off item ? Can anyone give their recommendation ? 1 Adventurer's Log for Neohero1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbaker08 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I hear that its 15% better then rune, and you can always sell it back when you're done mining.

Arieondor Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I hear that its 15% better then rune, and you can always sell it back when you're done mining. It is indeed 15% faster! Also like Cpt said, you can always sell it back later, it's not like you lose the 14.5M... they've been pretty stable since the bonus xp weekend. IMO I think that the Dragon Pic was the best thing I ever bought. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirIzenhime Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 If you plan on doing a lot of mining, definetely worth getting. And like already stated, there's always the option to sell it back.

anonymouse_ Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Going by your stats, I don't think you'll use it long enough to make it worth the trouble of buying and then selling. Just stick with rune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderlord Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 If you're going to do some serious mining, i would buy one. I simply love mine :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neohero1972 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi Thank you all for replying. I have just checked the latest price for a Dragon pickaxe and it's currently 14.0 mill. so its out of my financial reach ! So i'll stick to my good old rune pickaxe for now... :( Adventurer's Log for Neohero1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
