Rune pickaxe

The rune pickaxe is the second best pickaxe available in Old School RuneScape.This is due to the release of the dragon pickaxe in the rejuvination of wilderness update. The third best pickaxe is the adamant pickaxe. The rune pickaxe requires 41 mining to use, and 40 attack to equip. Players should note that even if they lack 40 attack, they can still use the pickaxe for mining purposes. The rune pickaxe can be purchased from Nurmof in the Dwarven Mines for 32,000 coins. Players cannot smith the rune pickaxe, they must be obtained either from the shop or other players. The Rune pickaxe is also a semi-common reward from completing a Clue scroll (Hard).

It is the best pickaxe for non-members - which can be useful when mining in F2P worlds that usually are relatively empty compared with P2P worlds.
