| This article is about an older version of DF. |
A pick is a digging implement that can be forged from most common metals like copper and iron. It is required by miners to dig through the earth, carve staircases and everything else related to the removal of rock and soil tiles. You will need to supply picks on embark as miners won't bring their own. The material used when making a pick doesn't have any effect on its speed at digging through rock, that depends on the user's Mining skill level.
Picks can be used as crude weapons in a pinch, though. They seem to inflict piercing damage and gain damage bonuses by the user's Mining skill level.
