The Augmented crystal pickaxe uses charges stored in the universal charge pack. When the charge pack runs out of charges, the item loses stats and gizmo effects, and can also no longer gain any equipment experience. Function will resume when the pack is recharged with divine charges.
The Augmented crystal pickaxe can be levelled up by using it. The equipment experience required for each level and the effect of disassembly is as follows:
