Bronze Pickaxe
The Bronze Pickaxe adds Building mastery +2 while it is on your toolbar, one more than the Rusty Pickaxe. You forge it at the Wooden Anvil, with a Hardening Bucket built against it, from 2 Sticks, 2 Bronze Details and a Bronze Ingot. The recipe comes with Bronze Blades (15 red, 5 green), together with the Bronze Axe, and needs Smithing mastery 2.

Notes
- Tools add up. Every tool on your toolbar counts toward its branch, so a Bronze Pickaxe and a Bronze Axe give Building 4, and keeping the rusty ones next to them adds 2 more. Building 4 is enough for the largest rocks and for Oiled Planks.
- It does not help with ore. The copper vein and the iron rock are Smithing jobs, even though you break them with a pickaxe.
- No trader in the demo sells it, and it never wears out.
