Lost my Ancient Nordic Pickaxe

[꧁ logAnmalONE ꧂]

I've searched the vendors at Raven Rock only have the regular generic pick axes. I can't progress further in the quest I'm on until I get one. Any clue where to find another instead of me wondering all over the the island?

UESP says that the blacksmith in Skall village sells them. otherwise there is always console commands. :)

yea it's not guaranteed and if you use a mod like Morrowloot it's often very hard. As for Wuuthrad ... Was it a modded house, because it will take just 1 chest that is not set to not respawn to make it disappear

That said could be worse I had it one time that an aetherium crest disappeared from my inventory and made the whole quest fubar

Weapon racks have issues. Weapons disappearing, flying off the rack, levitating in the air, the rack ceasing to function making the weapon irretrievable (or being unable to put a weapon on the rack, if empty when it happens), and removing custom names/enchantments all all known things that happen with weapon racks.

Armor mannequins aren't any better, and have the added bug of sometimes moving. (They are actually static NPCs.) So use caution when displaying things, and don't display things you aren't willing to lose. Which sucks, as the unique items are usually the ones you want to display.

I am sure I bought a 2nd pickaxe from the Smith in the first Solistheim town.

yea but that kind of things depends on a number of things for instance mods that alter shop inventories, etc

Ther's also the PNJ that dig a barrow for you that have a named one if needed (you can get it without stoling it at one point when you can have it as a follower for a short time)

You get one from the smith in Solstheim as part of a quest. There's a second one somewhere.
As you clear the mine if you do that quest, you get to an area with a waterfall and stairs. Behind the waterfall there's a secret door to a separate part of the temple. There's a draugr encased in Nordic ice. I think that's where there's a pick, probably in case the smith was closed before starting the mine quest. At any rate, I've always found two of those picks in my old high level save games and that's my best guess.
I've gotten into the habit of improving my regular pick so if I end up with more than one pick, I don't accidentally sell or drop it. Improving the Nordic one makes it stand out when selling a bunch of weapons without having to read the names.

I've only received one ancient nordic pickaxe from the weaponsmith in Solisthein. An interesting observation... I finished a long quest last night and found one in a chest in a very deep dungeon and wasn't looking for one nor did I need another one since I have 4 of them already. When I stopped searching for one and don't need another one, I finally found one. LOL

Typical lol.

The Blacksmith Glover, starts selling Nordic Picks as a rare item after you help out the Skaal, otherwise the only one you'll get from him is the one he lets you keep. The Skaal blacksmith should also sell them at a more common rate.

I have found a few ancient pickaxes ... did not think they were that rare.
Unmodded.
