Where To Get A Pickaxe

Discover where to locate the essential Pickaxe in No Rest for the Wicked. Learn about chest spawns, environmental finds, and purchasing from Fillmore in The Shallows.

Alright, so you're looking for a pickaxe in No Rest for the Wicked? Smart move! This little tool is your ticket to gathering crucial materials early on. Don't worry, it's not too hard to find, especially since it's in the very first area you explore.

The main place to look is The Shallows, which is the starting zone. Keep your eyes peeled for chests – they can spawn a pickaxe, and sometimes you'll find one just lying around in the environment. Since the loot can be a bit randomized, you might not find it in the exact same spot every time, but exploring thoroughly is key. The Shallows has a bunch of hidden paths and secret chests, so poke around everywhere!

If you're really struggling to find one out in the wild, there's a reliable backup plan. You can actually buy a pickaxe from Fillmore. He hangs out in the Mess Hall, also located in The Shallows. Pro tip: he'll actually travel to Sacrament with you if you're heading that way. Just be aware that if you've already progressed quite a bit and haven't spoken to him, he might have already left for Sacrament without you.

Once you've got your pickaxe, using it is simple. Just walk up to any mineral or rock deposit and interact with it. You'll need to do this about half a dozen times to harvest the materials. Don't worry about depleting them forever – these deposits will respawn after some time or if you revisit the area, so you can keep gathering.
