Mining Pick

When mine ore, a character can have an item that counts as a mining pick in inventory.
The Mining Pick item is the definitive and original mining pick. Patch 2.0 flagged a number of weapons to also qualify as mining picks, and several other items since them have been added that similarly qualify as mining picks.
While you do not actually need to have any mining pick to mine since Patch 5.0.4, the +10 to skill can allow you to mine ore that would normally be beyond your current skill, and is thus highly recommended.

*When you don't want to kill a specific mob (Such as Ravasaurs in the quest Toxic Tolerance, you can use mining pick. As it deals very little damage, you usually don't have to fear killing the mob.
