so
apparently now stone axe is not the meta for mining
and its left for logs to branches production and probably other things.
what is the stone axe good now for?

Re: stone axe for mining?
Was killed by tinkers axe a while back as they get easier to make higher ql.
Depening on that maybe pickaxe might be useful for its purpose beyond an exploration tool.

Re: stone axe for mining?
so its something like this cross section table?
i.e a level 100 pickaxe has 10 level advantage over hatchet and 25 for stone axe
| Mining Quality | Stone Axe Level | Hatchet Level | Pickaxe Level |
|---------------|-----------------|---------------|----------------|
| 10 | 12.50 | 11.11 | 10 |
| 20 | 25.00 | 22.22 | 20 |
| 30 | 37.50 | 33.33 | 30 |
| 40 | 50.00 | 44.44 | 40 |
| 50 | 62.50 | 55.56 | 50 |
| 60 | 75.00 | 66.67 | 60 |
| 70 | 87.50 | 77.78 | 70 |
| 80 | 100.00 | 88.89 | 80 |
| 90 | 112.50 | 100.00 | 90 |
| 100 | 125.00 | 111.11 | 100 |

Re: stone axe for mining?
No, it was just stone axe was easier to get higher ql for better softcap. Then Tinkerers axe came and was both eaiser to make higher ql and has a higher mining strength multi. So the stone axe just died after you start spirallingsickaura wrote:so its something like this cross section table?

If pick axe gets a quality bonus it might be better but math to compare to tinkerers.
Its really simple highest ql was more important than mine strength to get best ore/stones. Stone axe was just easier to spiral for a fair amount of time plus dungeon wood.

Yes, now wether you can get metal that much higher than a stone axe is entirely on your luck.sickaura wrote:so its something like this cross section table?
