Trivia

• At one time, you would get no bonus experience when having a Rune pickaxe in your inventory. You would not mine with the Sacred clay pickaxe but with your rune pickaxe.
• On the day of its release it could not auto mine pure essence, requiring the user to repeatedly click the essence.
• Since December, Jagex has changed its bonus exp, giving in total double exp per ore.
• At one time, the pickaxe, along with all morphic/volatile tools, would not degrade with each use, but degrade with each morph. They would have 10 charges.
• Some players believe that it is good mining experience to mine shooting stars with the sacred pickaxe. In fact, when using a morphic tool on a shooting star, you gain a total of 16530 experience before your pickaxe crumbles.
• The pickaxe itself has two separate heads, in relation to the normal pickaxe having a single head.
• When used in conjunction with a filled or partially filled Penance Horn, a player will earn 3x the experience that they normally would, while both the pickaxe and horn drain at their respective rate.
• When wearing Varrock armour, when you mine two ores at once the first ore you receive gives the double experience, the second gives the regular amount of experience.
• On the few days after its release, it displayed no animation while mining and had the same strength as a Bronze pickaxe. This was quickly fixed.
