Palladium Pickaxe?

[Senf]

Why would I want one?

It's the same price as the the drill

Aesthetics..either a drill or a pickaxe but they are similar. Some people don't like the drill sound.

The pick is bether, in a defensive point. The drill do damage in the area it is pointed at, but pick is attacking in a vide area in the area the player is standing.
So if you are drilling you cant hit a Zombie/possessed armor thats attacking, not without stop drilling. But a pick is not limited to that, you can still have your pointer at mining, but make the player stand and swing at monsters, especially usefull if something is firing fireballs at you, aka goblin mage, fire imp.. The pick isnt a first hand waepon, but it can use knockback to defend you while mining.

Drill sound is annoying after all, and yes pick has an swing thing, that can protect u from lesser mobs.
