Rune pickaxe
“Used for mining.”
About this item
The rune pickaxe is the third best pickaxe, after the crystal pickaxe and the dragon pickaxe variants. It mines on a 3-tick cycle and is the best pickaxe in free-to-play. The rune pickaxe requires 41 Mining to use, and 40 Attack to equip. Players lacking 40 Attack can still use it for mining.

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.
