Dragon pickaxe

The Dragon pickaxe is the most powerful pickaxe in the game and mines ores more quickly than the Rune pickaxe and the Inferno Adze. After being the subject of many rumours over the years, Mod Mark confirmed that it was in development on 5 March 2009 Quote on the Q&A update. They were released with the Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf quest on 9 September 2009.

To wield a Dragon pickaxe, players must have an Attack level of at least 60. To mine using a dragon pickaxe, level 61 Mining is required. Wielding the pickaxe does not require quest completion to use. Dragon pickaxe is dropped by Chaos dwogres, Chaos Dwarf Hand Cannoneers, and Chaos dwarves at the Chaos Dwarf Battlefield.

Special Attack
The special attack is called "Shock" and drains 5% from an opponent's Attack, Ranged and Magic. This attack takes longer to perform than a normal attack.

Trivia

 * On the same day that the Dragon pickaxe was released, all other metal pickaxes underwent an unannounced graphical update.
 * Before the update there was an image in the RuneScape banner of a dual-headed dragon pickaxe. A similar picture is currently used to show the special attack in the Game Guide, despite the look of the real dragon pickaxe.
 * The Dragon pickaxe was released with a starting value on the Grand Exchange of 4 million coins.
 * Strangely, some parts of the Dragon pickaxe resemble something made out of Obsidian, rather than Dragon.
 * On the day of release, the dragon pickaxe could not be found in the Quick Chat feature.
 * LootShare didn't work for the dragon pickaxe in the first week after the dragon pickaxe was released. Jagex fixed it one week later.
