How to Get Pickaxes in The Forge

The main way to obtain new pickaxes is by visiting Miner Fred’s Pickaxe Shop in Stonewake’s Cross. Each pickaxe costs a certain amount of in-game coins.

However, at this current time, 2 pickaxes require you to visit specific locations. The first takes you to the Inner Cave, and the second is in the Fallen Angel’s Cave. Once you find them, you still have to purchase them with in-game coins.
