Indestructable Pickaxe Broke!!

[Patrick Fisher]

Nothing is truly indestructible. They simply have more hit points. I don't
know if mining takes hit points into account or simply has a set number of
uses, but nothing lasts forever.
Just buy shovels. They're good for 51 ore, and are half as much as pickaxes.

According to stratics, "Indestructible" means the item has +25 hit
points. As you've found out, it's not indestructable.

The indestructable tag applies to the frequency at which the item will
need to be repaired if it used as a WEAPON, and has no bearing on its
use as a TOOL. If you were bashing somebody with it, you wouldn't have
to get it repaired very often, and it'd last a really long time even
over many multiple repairs. As a tool, well, you found out already...

I just spent 5k on an Indestructable Pickaxe (I id'ed it to make sure) and
headed for my boat to have a great boat-mining session without worry of
making shovels...

I mine exactly 36 iron ore, and 14 copper ore, and *SNAP* it was gone!

Is this a known bug, or am I wrong in assuming that indestructable pickaxes
are indeed indestructable?

You are wrong. And if you payed 5k for such a crap, you
where ripped off.

I may be mistaken, but my understanding is that the pick-axe will be
indestructable if you use it as a weapon, but not if you use it as a pick-axe.
In my experience, all pick-axes snap at or before 51 ore no matter what.

Of course, its always possible that I just haven't met up with the pick-axe of
my dreams yet. Sigh.

You are mistaken

In no case is it indestructible, as a weapon it will last longer without
repair and last for more repairs than a normal weapon, but as a tool it
will mine 51 ore and then break, period.

http://uo.stratics.com check this site out under blacksmithing and from
there 'repairs', that section contains the exact workings of how weapons
degrade and how much an 'indestructible' weapon will help can be
deducted from the calculations there.

Yep...it was there it went...

Its a commom mistake, I know I made it, but things labled "indestructable" can
be distructed. It is just a boost to the item's HP...and as far as
indestructable pick axes...its only in the weapon sense of the pick axe not the
mineing sense...for mineing its just a 5k version of a tinkered version.

Indestructable does only mean that they last a bit longer.

not to make you more irritated than you are... but why is it that weapons used as
tools in the trade of bowcraft don't wear? I am a GM bowyer, and have used the
same set of daggers from a skill level of 22 up to 100... and all 8 have carved
countless bows, and all 8 are still in "unused" condition...

yup, you are wrong; indestructable is not indestructable

Of course, if he played on SP, he'd quickly find out that lots of tools do
wear out that don't normally wear out.
