The '''dragon pickaxe''' is the fastest and most powerful [[pickaxe]] in the game with a mining speed faster than a [[rune pickaxe]] or [[inferno adze]]. It requires 60 [[Attack]] to wield and level 61 [[Mining]] to use. However, some players prefer the [[rune pickaxe]] or [[inferno adze]] because of their much lower prices.<br />
<br />
Dragon pickaxes were released with the [[quest]] [[Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf]] on [[9 September]] 2009. They are very rare drops from [[Chaos dwogre]]s, [[Chaos dwarf hand cannoneer]]s, and [[Chaos dwarf|Chaos dwarves]] on the [[Chaos Dwarf Battlefield]] after completion of the quest. The quest does '''not''' need to be completed in order to use this item. The [[ring of wealth]] does not affect the chance to get the pickaxe as a drop. <br />
<br />
The dragon pickaxe can be gilded by the [[Liquid gold nymph]] after receiving the full [[golden mining suit]], creating the [[gilded dragon pickaxe]]. It is cosmetic and gives no more bonuses than the regular pickaxe.<br />

==Special attack==<br />
[[File:dragon pickaxe.gif|frame|The dragon pickaxe's special attack, "Shock."]] Like all other [[Dragon equipment#Weapons|dragon weapons]], the dragon pickaxe has a [[Special Attack]], "Shock", which drains 5% of an opponent's [[Attack]], [[Ranged]] and [[Magic]] levels upon a successful hit. This attack takes longer to perform than a normal attack and uses 100% of the [[Special Attack]] bar. {{clear}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*After being the subject of many rumours over the years, [[Mod Mark]] confirmed that it was in development on [[5 March]] 2009 (see [[Update:RuneScape Q&A – Further Answers]]).<br />
*Players have done tests to determine the speed of the pickaxe as compared to a rune pickaxe, and they have found that when using the dragon pickaxe, they get approximately 10% more [[pure essence]] in a set amount of time as compared to the amount of essence mined in the same amount of time using a [[rune pickaxe]].{{fact}} Testing has also yielded an approximate 15% increase in speed in the living rock caverns on concentrated gold ores. Other testing has revealed that at level 80-85 the dragon pickaxe gives approximately 40-50% mining speed increase at the [[Living Rock Caverns]] while mining coal or gold.<ref>[[Talk:Dragon pickaxe#Research - Comparison to Rune Pickaxe at Level 99]]</ref><br />
*This weapon's [[Special Attack]] is similar to those of the [[ancient mace]] and [[barrelchest anchor]] as well as the attacks of the Dungeoneering and Chaotic mauls.<br />
*When borrowed and stored in your bank, the display for the item does not show up, but the red borrowed item dot does.<br />
*When a player gets a dragon pickaxe as a drop, it will show up on his or her [[Adventurer's Log]].<br />
