In Monster Hunter Wilds, pickaxes are versatile Long Sword-type weapons that can significantly boost your combat effectiveness.Both the Mad Scavenger Pickaxe and the Digmore War Pick originate from upgrading the Worn Pickaxe, and crafting them demands certain ores along with special event items. Properly collecting and managing multiple Worn Pickaxes ensures you can unlock these powerful weapons efficiently, giving you a strong advantage in battles and quests.
How to Get Mad Scavenger Pickaxe
The Scavenger Pickaxe is a reliable choice with an attack of 561 (170) and a sharpness level of 7. It comes with three slots (③②①) and has the Power Stone skill at Level 1, making it a solid tool for mining and combat alike.
Upgrading it turns it into the Mad Scavenger Pickaxe, which boosts the attack to 594 (180) and sharpness to level 8. Its slots improve slightly to ③③①, while the Power Stone skill remains at Level 1.
To forge the Scavenger Pickaxe, you’ll need 10 Carbalite Ore, 1 Firecell Stone, 4 Gravios Carapaces, and 2 Worn Pickaxes, with a cost of 14,000z. Upgrading it to the Mad Scavenger Pickaxe requires 10 Fucium Ore, 1 Gravios Medulla, 5 Hunter Symbol III, and 1 Worn Pickaxe, costing 20,000z.
The Scavenger Pickaxe can be forged directly from the Workshop, and once you have it, you can upgrade it by using a Worn Pickaxe to transform it into the Mad Scavenger Pickaxe.
How to Get the Digmore War Pick
The Digmore War Pick is slightly different, with an attack of 252 (180) and sharpness at level 8. Like the others, it has three slots (③③①) and comes with the Power Stone skill at Level 1.
This pickaxe is only available through upgrading a Worn Pickaxe. You’ll need 10 Fucium Ore, 1 Gravios Medulla, 5 Hunter Symbol III, and 3 Worn Pickaxes. The total cost is 20,000z, and in all, you’ll need six Worn Pickaxes to obtain the Digmore War Pick.
