Pickaxe

In-Game Description

Traditionally a mining tool, but the hard
cone of the pommel is effective in battle.

A downward swing of the Pickaxe can crush
stone; a human head would be an afterthought.

Availability

Rare drop by Infested Barbarians (with boulders) in Blighttown, located just outside Quelaag's Domain.

General Information

This weapon, and the Warpick, deal reduced poise damage equal to straight swords and halberds.

Key

Damage:	The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z: W is Physical Damage X is Magical Damage Y is Fire Damage Z is Lightning Damage Each weapon has one or more physical damage types: Normal Striking Slashing Thrusting Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types.
Critical:	The damage bonus for backstabs and ripostes. Thrusting Swords and Daggers get an invisible bonus to critical damage as well.
Durability:	The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%.
Weight:	The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned.
Stats Needed:	The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z: W is the Strength required X is the Dexterity required Y is the Intelligence required Z is the Faith required Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Large Club (Requires 26 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands. (18 x 1.5 = 27)
Damage Reduction %:	The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z: W is the Physical Damage Reduction X is the Magical Damage Reduction Y is the Fire Damage Reduction Z is the Lightning Damage Reduction
Stability:	The stability of the weapon. The higher this value, the less stamina is consumed when blocking attacks.
Frampt Souls:	This is the amount of souls players will receive if they feed the item to Kingseeker Frampt.
