Iron Pickaxe
The Iron Pickaxe adds Building mastery +4 while it is on your toolbar, twice the Bronze Pickaxe. You forge it at the Iron Anvil, with a Hardening Bucket, from 2 Sticks, 2 Iron Details and an Iron Ingot. The recipe comes with Iron Instruments II (80 red, 15 blue), which also gives the Iron Hammer, and needs Smithing mastery 6.

Notes
- It does not help with ore. The copper vein and the iron rock are Smithing jobs, even though you break them with a pickaxe; the Building bonus helps with rocks and marble.
- No trader sells it; the town Smithy only buys it. It never wears out.
- Studying it costs 5 Science and gives 60 red and 10 blue.
