Iron Ore

Being as you 1 hit iron almost 100% of the time with a rune pick is there any benefit to using a dragon pick to mine iron?

I was wondering the same thing =S

 

Well, being that as it may, there is always a few iron rocks that want to be stubborn and take a few hits to mine. My guess is that the dragon pick cuts down on scenarios like that.

well at 61 mining, a d pick makes it so that you might not even hit the rock and you'll get the ore. there wont be an animation, youll stand next to the rock and the ore will be in your inv

Well now, that's interesting. I never thought of being able to speed it up that much, but I guess if it takes x number of ticks to mine with a rune pick and the increase is about 10% then it could in theory go lower. Unless the increase is on a sliding scale where the faster it occurs the bigger the effect, IE rune pick takes 2 ticks dragon takes one. so 50% increase.

If you have an iron pick use it.

If you don't the speed increase isn't worth it JUST to mine iron since 99% of time u mine iron in 1 tick anyway.

 

If you mine gold etc its worth buying it.

Yeah this is true.

 

It's quite funny, my friends and I (before it was released) used to joke about how good the dragon pickwould be, saying that you would probably just look at the rock, and the ore would appear in your inventory.
