Enchanting a Pickaxe : V

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:55 am

Ok so you can enchant a pickaxe but why?

Is there an enchantment that is useful for mining?

If I can cast Turn Undead for 30 secs on it but can't use it to fight with, what is the point of enchanting it?

Anyone with any idea?

If you enchant it with fire, you can smelt the ore as you mine it.

My next char will dual wield pick axes (may take a few months until i finish the main quest with my current char first).

/edit: Ah no, better dual wield forks.

because you can.

Every time I come across Embalming Tools on my assassin, I instinctively reach for them to use as daggers...

Heartbroken every time.

Because Pickaxes are also weapons. Weapons can be Enchanted!

The point is, you CAN use it to fight with, same as the woodcutters axe. I enchant everything (almost), raises the value for lining my greedy pockets with Gold coins.

I did mine for the fun of it, plus you can get enchanting XP and find them everywhere. I gave mine frost damage and named it ThE iCe PiC.......LOL

Isn't that the one you can somehow get a crafting enchant on or similar?

Spoiler

all i'm gonna say...

why can't you sharpen a pickaxe on the grindstone?

I enchanted mine with Soul Trap. Handy.

Because a reanimated skeleton with an enchanted pickaxe does more damage than one with an unenchanted pickaxe.

I prefer dual-wielding pickaxes with Elemental Fury.

I just did it to level Enchanting. And give it a snazzy name.

Kurz's Pickaxe.

I but you all just melted with jealousy that I just said it was MY pickaxe. My Turn Undead at level 3 for 2 seconds pickaxe.

... Is that really true? :S

Miner RP, I was thinking of doing a woodcutters RP

^^^^^

My next character is going to be a miner, but he doesn't mine ore.

He mines hate. Right out of a man's chest.

Haflod the Hate Miner be his name.

No, especially not when it's called a Poacher's Axe.

I disenchanted it so that I could use the Huntsman's Prowess enchantment on a sword and hunting bow combined with a soul trap enchantment, for when I feel like going on a hunting safari.

Personally I enchant EVERYTHING because then I can name them cool things and not mix them up with the common rabble gear

Can't tell if trolling or just completely unaware that he was trolling.

Its for the notched pickaxe if you accidentally disenchant it you can make another one.
