I just started a brand new ironman to experience the MS rework firsthand, so far it's going good and ive made it up to lvl 60 in both, but from this point onwards should I start focussing on combat and quests to eventually get a dragon pickaxe? I was initially planning on getting 99 in both first but I have a feeling that could suck pretty bad with a rune pickaxe?
External link →u/jagexbreezy didn't you do an ironman challenge with another Jmod to get 99ms first? How did you handle this? Rune pick all the way?
Yeah, at level 60 on both the Orikalkum Pickaxe +3 will be the same/better than a Dragon pickaxe BUT you can augment the Dragon pickaxe. I'm not really sure if the D Pick is better in that case all things considered, but to race to 99 Mining & Smithing i just got the best new pickaxe i could use as soon as i hit the level. Its pretty linear, and i found that only when i got to 90 the Pickaxe of Earth and Song matters more as its BIS pickaxe that can be augmented. Even then, if you don't care about that the Elder Rune +5 is equal, just not augmentable.
