Additional Info
The Mining Knuckledrill can be upgraded to offer the same yields as Bernor’s Pickaxe while also automatically collecting anything you mine, which is super useful when you get those crazy high yields in the late game or when you have to climb to mine something like copper.
While it can be used as as weapon, the primary use for the Mining Knuckledrill is to mine ore. This is why we have included it in the list of pickaxes in your database, so you can easily compare it to the other options available.
