Picks cannot be made from [[silver]] although other [[weapon]]s can be forged from silver. Picks are essential for a properly functioning fortress: [[miner]]s require picks to strike the earth, dig tunnels, carve staircases and everything else related to the removal of rock and soil tiles. You will need to purchase or create picks on embark as miners won't bring their own. Without picks, your dwarves will be stranded on the surface, forced to live like [[elf|elves]]. The [[quality]] and [[material]] of a pick have no effect on its speed digging through rock; that depends solely on the user's [[Mining]] skill level. |

They inflict [[attack types|EDGE type]] damage, tend to impale or dismember enemies, and gain damage bonuses by the user's Mining skill level. Picks are brutally effective, combining slashing and impaling and generally far better than anything that isn't a [[whip]] or [[scourge]]. Unlike when digging through rock, [[quality]] and [[material]] are both important when using a pick as a weapon. Since a [[steel]] pick can penetrate most armor, picks are effective weapons against any foe, armored, [[Forgotten beast|forgotten]], [[Bronze colossus|bronze]], or otherwise. Almost all dwarves can equip picks; [[Weapon#Size|some must use two hands]]. |
