Loot[]

The Swift Pick can be found as Loot from chests in Cragrock Towers, the Wight Fortress, and the Labyrinthine Vaults and Barrishee Lair of the Sludgeon.

Properties[]

Mining[]

The Swift Pick mines stone-based blocks at an extremely rapid pace, breaking most blocks almost instantly.

Repairing[]

Unlike most other equipment with durability, there is no way to repair a damaged Swift Pick.

Corrosion[]

The Swift Pick is found in a "Good as new!" state of corrosion, with 0/255 corrosion points. Simply having it in your inventory will cause it to start corroding; using and swinging it as well as being in water will increase its rate of corrosion. Corrosion decreases its damage output and mining effectiveness.

A corroded Swift Pick can be cleaned in the Purifier, resetting its corrosion value back to 0.

Result Ingredients Recipe
Removes Corrosion from Swift Pick Corroded and uncoated Swift Pick + Sulfur + Swamp Water (250 mB)
Purify Swift Pick

A Swift Pick can also be applied with Scabyst to give it up to 600 coating points, which keep the corrosion level static until they are depleted.

Result Ingredients Recipe
Coats Swift Pick (75 points per piece) Swift Pick + Scabyst (1-8)
Coated Swift Pick

Finally, a corroded Swift Pick can be applied with Sap Spit to directly remove up to 255 corrosion points from it. Unlike the Purifier method, this can be done on a Swift Pick that is simultaneously coated with Scabyst.

Result Ingredients Recipe
Removes Corrosion from Swift Pick (85 points per item) Any corroded Swift Pick + Sap Spit (1-8)
Corrosion Removed Swift Pick

Middle Gems[]

As with most equipment, the Swift Pick can be equipped with a Middle Gem as part of the Middle Gem Circle to apply additional buffs to the player using it. The type of gem equipped can be seen in its tooltip. The bonuses provided can be seen on the gem's own tooltip.

Result Ingredients Recipe
Applies corresponding Middle Gem to Swift Pick Swift Pick + Any Middle Gem
