I recently remembered an item called "Pick/Axe". I forgot about it entirely, because it's never used as it's just bad. Wasting thulecite for something like that is not worth it at all.
I have a couple of suggestions:
1. Pick/Axe perk: make it's work more efficient -> more resources drop than normal.
2. Make it possible to repair it with thulecite fragments, 10% for each maybe?
3. Make it have a chance of shadows destroying something you're chopping/mining in one hit?
I'm not good at balancing, the first one seems good but not good enough for pick/axe to be ever crafted. I don't know how to give it meaningful perks, those are just my small ideas. Anyone have something else?
EDIT: I just saw that I posted this on a wrong part of the site. I can't find any buttons that would delete my post, sorry for the inconvenience.
