Not to be confused with Ancient Nordic Pick Axe.

Ancient Nordic Pickaxe is a one-handed weapon found in Solstheim. It is the only kind of pickaxe that is capable of mining Stalhrim. By the Fourth Era, there are very few of the pickaxes remaining.[1] It can be enchanted, but cannot be improved with Smithing.

Locations

Variants

  • Hoarfrost – A unique variant held by Ralis Sedarys. It can be obtained via pickpocketing or completing the quest "Unearthed."
  • There is a unique variant of the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe with the ID DLC2RR03NordPickaxe in the game files. Though it appears identical to the standard version in every way, it has a unique Item ID in game xx0206f2 and this is the actual weapon retrieved from Crescius Caerellius. If adding the item via console, this is the only version Glover Mallory will accept to complete the "An Axe to Find" quest.

Quests

An Axe to Find

Glover Mallory, the blacksmith in Raven Rock, will mention that his pickaxe was "borrowed" by Crescius Caerellius. He asks it to be retrieved. Once it is returned to him, he allows the Dragonborn to keep it.
