The Iron Pickaxe is a tool in Valheim, crafted from Swamp materials, dealing 33 pierce and 33 pickaxe. At 66 total damage it is 2nd of the 14 tools, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. It is made at Forge at station level 2, from 3 Corewood, 20 Iron, and upgrades 3 more times from there. The game describes it simply: A sturdy tool of hardened iron.

When to Use It

Early game. Iron comes out of Sunken Crypts in the Swamp, so this arrives once The Elder is down.

Upgrades

Crafted at quality 1 and upgraded 3 more times. Every figure quoted elsewhere on this wiki is quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy is somewhere on:

Quality	Pierce	Mining	Durability	Resources
1	33	33	150	3x Corewood 20x Iron
2	38	38	200	1x Corewood 10x Iron
3	43	43	250	2x Corewood 20x Iron
4	48	48	300	3x Corewood 30x Iron

Upgrading needs the station at the level in the infobox, and the cost is on top of what you already spent.

Build

There is no tool build, but there is a tool checklist, and being without one of these is how an evening gets wasted. Antler Pickaxe the moment Eikthyr is down, because it is the gate on copper and tin. Upgrade the pickaxe at every tier: the harder deposits need it, and the Pickaxes skill comes up on its own while you mine. Keep the hammer, hoe and cultivator in a chest at the base rather than on your back, and keep a spare axe: chopping is what breaks tools fastest.

Skill: Pickaxes and Axes, which levels by use and loses a slice on death.

Notes

A sturdy tool of hardened iron.
Pickaxes are the only way to mine ore deposits and to dig terrain.
The Antler Pickaxe is unlocked by defeating Eikthyr and is the gate on copper and tin.
Tools extend what the player can do to the world rather than to creatures.
