So you got the pickaxe on the Hammer Island (Starter zone) aye? Well here is what you do with it.
Intro
Well I’m gonna be frank. You do not need the pickaxe early game. There are no nodes on the main island to use it on to gain ore. In fact as of launch (could be changed later) there are only two materials you can mine. First is keltonite ore and the second is quest related ore item called rainbow ore.
What You Can Mine
First is keltonite ore and the second is quest related ore item called rainbow ore.
Keltonite Ore
Its located in the tools tab and It actually is very plentiful once you find where it spawns.
- Location: Blackbarrow, it is is everywhere. Be sure to bring a pickaxe
- Use: Selling and crafting Keltonite armor set. (Thanks to Skenjin in the comments for where the armor is located)
- Crafting Location: Neo Sild (town inside of cave in the Blackbarrow)
This I what it looks like:
Keltonite Armor
It is actually a decent armor set if your looking to have defense and resistances against all type of attacks. However it is only expert armor.
Rainbow Ore
This quest related. slight spoilers but nothing major Rainbow ore, which is only used briefly when going to the Brisk observatory on Astral Heights.
- Location: Cave south of Astral Heights for Brisk observatory.
- Use: Item needed to craft quest key.
Keltonite is used to craft armor at a vendor in Sild. It has high overall resistances.
