Find Stoner's Pickaxe (Damaged)
Stoner's Pickaxe (Damaged) is the item to look for in the Demo's Mining Gem Vein rewards. It is a mining-toolbelt item that increases Stone obtained per hit by 2.5%.
This guide covers Demo 0.11.4. Keep the full item name, including “(Damaged),” when checking its uses or comparing it with another pickaxe.
Obtain and use the Stone bonus
- Check Mining Gem Vein rewards for the exact name Stoner's Pickaxe (Damaged). Match the full name before choosing what to mine.
- Select a Gem Vein that lists the pickaxe as a reward, and check that vein's displayed requirements before starting. Follow the reward listing rather than assuming every Gem Vein offers the same item.
- When you obtain the pickaxe, use it on the mining toolbelt for its Stone-per-hit bonus. Judge this item by that stated benefit when deciding whether it suits your gathering goal.

Prepare materials for a Shop pickaxe
For the regular metal pickaxes, prepare both the Shop payment and the required bars. Mining opens at Woodcutting level 2, and Smithing opens at Mining level 2. Copper Ore becomes available at Mining level 5, while smelting Copper Bar requires Smithing level 5.
Smelting an Iron Bar requires 1 Iron Ore. A Steel Bar requires 1 Iron Ore and 1 Coal, while a Mithril Bar requires 1 Mithril Ore and 2 Coal. Reserve the finished bars for your chosen pickaxe purchase before using them in other recipes.
Gather Spider Silk for Looped Pickaxe Binding
Looped Pickaxe Binding needs 100 Spider Silk alongside its GP payment, Mining requirement and preceding binding. Hunting Giant Spider yields Spider Silk. Crafting Stall is another source at Thieving level 55 and can award up to 3 Spider Silk.
Plan this as a binding purchase. Before spending the silk, check the exact damaged pickaxe's own uses instead of assuming that a binding repairs or transforms it.
Check damaged names before repair or replacement
- Match the full name: Stoner's Pickaxe (Damaged), Essence Imbued Pickaxe (Damaged) and Infernal Pickaxe (Damaged) are distinct items.
- Treat “(Damaged)” as part of the item's name. Do not assume that the suffix alone supplies a repair recipe or tells you what replacement to buy.
- Check each pickaxe's own uses before committing materials to a repair or conversion. Keep the binding purchase requirements separate from the damaged item's requirements.
