Black pickaxe
“Used for mining.”
About this item
The black pickaxe is a pickaxe that mines on a 5-tick cycle, 1-tick faster than the steel pickaxe and the same speed as the mithril pickaxe. It is a possible reward from beginner and easy Treasure Trails. This item can be stored in the treasure chest of a costume room, provided that the easy clue interface is opened before attempting to store the item. Alternatively, the item can be used on the opened treasure chest to insert it without viewing the interface.

Its high alch value of 87 does not cover the 153 nature rune it would burn, so alching is a loss before the item itself is counted.

Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary.
