Please buff the pick/axe

[Malfario]

The pick/axe has become a steping stone for new content, and while i really like this implementation i do think the tool deserves its own uses and not been only a key for other content.

The biggest problem with the pic/kaxe for me is that its main benefits doesnt have a single situation when it comes usable, i dont think of a situation in the game where i am required to chop and mine at the same time. A axe/shovel will be usefull or a pick/hammer for the matter. Taking into account its disadvanatge, only been craftable on the ruins with thulecite i think its in orther to ask for it to be as relevant as staffs, amulets, or thulecite gear.

The only thing i am asking is for the pick/axe to have a utility and cover at least one the needs for resource gathering.

Finally, i wanted to give some concepts and ideas to how this tool could get buffed:

-Extra resources: the pick/axe will grant extra resources when used, for example, choping a birchnut with it will give 4 seeds and 6 logs.

-Corruption: in the same manner as ruins statues burst into shadows maybe the pick/axe could make it so, for example, when finishing choping a birchnut it will drop living logs and spawn a nightmare creature.

-Drop refined items: taking into account the ruins stuff has a lowkey crafting theme attached to it, why not give it to the pick/axe, mining with this glorius tool will drop cut stone instead of rocks, choping will give boards instead of logs, electrical doodals intead of gold etc etc.

-Insta pick: pretty simple, it has a 50% chance of insta pick or insta mine stuff.

Thats all please respond with your thoughts about the tool and if you would like it to be buffed and in which way would you do it, thanks for reading this.
