To get your hands on the elusive Pickaxe recipe in Dawn of Defiance, you’ll need to put in some serious legwork. It’s not just going to fall into your lap! Here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Complete all the Places of Power. It’s a tall order, but it’s non-negotiable.
Step 2: Open up Hecate’s Temple. This is where the magic happens (literally).
Once you’ve jumped through those hoops, you’ll find a golden chest waiting for you in Hecate’s Temple. And guess what’s inside? That’s right, the Simple Pickaxe recipe! But before you get too excited, make sure you’ve got the following materials ready to go:
- 5 Softwood
- 5 Rock
- 3 Hide Strips
The Softwood and Rock are a piece of cake to get your hands on. The Hide Strips might take a bit more effort, but nothing you can’t handle. You can either:
- Create them using Pelt at the Hunter’s Bench, or
- Take down the soldiers guarding the Places of Power and grab the Hide Strips they drop.
With your shiny new Pickaxe in hand, mining Ambrosia crystals from the caves will be a breeze. No more waiting around for nightfall or getting into scuffles with the Lost! Just remember to stock up on Ambrosia whenever you can – those Braziers of Apollo are always hungry for more.
