Dragon pickaxe

A Dragon pickaxe is the most powerful pickaxe in the game. 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. They DO NOT require quest completion to use and it is dropped by Chaos dwogres and Chaos dwarf hand cannoneers.

The pickaxe seems to mine about 5-10% faster when compared to the rune pickaxe, however this has yet to be confirmed.

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

 * There was no record of the Dragon pickaxe in the Knowledge Base.
 * On the release day for the Dragon pickaxes, all other metal pickaxes underwent an unannounced graphical update.(This was a spoiler to show that a new pickaxe had come out.)
 * Before the update there was an image in the Runescape banner of a dual-headed dragon pickaxe. The same one is currently used to show the special attack in the Game Guide, despite the look of the real dragon pickaxe.
 * The information on the Knowledge Base page concerning the Chaos Dwarf Battlefield is vague about who exactly drops the pickaxe. If read correctly, the page states that any NPC of Chaos Dwarf alignment, even regular Chaos Dwarves, can drop the pickaxe.
 * On the day of release (9 September 2009), the pickaxe was valued at 4 million GP, rather low compared to that of other dragon weapons released on their first day (e.g.: dragon axe and dragon sq. chain). However, it has seen a steady climb of almost 500,000+ coins per day (valued to be 5 million plus GP at time of writing - 11 Sept.)
 * Ironically, the "d" of "d pick" is censored by the filter.
 * Strangely, some parts of the Dragon pickaxe resemble something made out of Obsidian, rather than Dragon.
 * There are some similarities between the pick and Riku's Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts II, most noticeably the top of the shaft of the pick corresponding with the design of the blade, with the head of the pick in place of the wing.
