How to get quality 80 stone without the Tier 4 pickaxe ?

[炸弹哥不打上单]

I have watched big clans' recorded stream videos. I found they have a lot of quality 80 stones BEFORE they got 3 iron ingot to craft the Tier 4 pickaxe. How did they do that, can some nice guy explains it to me.
Is it possible with high level Tier 2 pickaxe made by high level clay? There are a lot of quality 80 falcos existing in the current game but as a solo player I don't even know the possibility of building them. Did I miss something?

My first bet would be they fricking cheated for it.

Build something with high QL stuff but no-QL stones. Dismantle, get half of the stones of the items total quality.

I though there was only tier 1,3 and 4 pickaxe's and tier 4 says 3 iron ingots to craft.

i may be wrong, i am not in game, but you have the starter axe, tier 1
You have the tier 2 axe, needs bone splinters, you have the tier 3 axe needs bone splinters and bone glue,. and tier 4 which needs ceramic, all tier 4 need ceramic i am fairly sure, i have yet to see any tier 5 recipies, but again, maybe i read it wrong

Thanks guys for trying to help me!
When I mentioned Tiers, I mean the number you can see when you hover your mouse over tools.
There is a small white pickaxe icon you can see at the bottom of the status panel. the number next to it should be the "tool Tier ". same with other tools.
In most cases, the max quality you can harvest with the tool is (Tier number) x20, which is 20 for the bone pickaxe, and 40 with ceramic pickaxe.
Only the iron pickaxe has a tool Tier 4 which means it can harvest quality 80 stones.
However I see streamers' clans have quality 80 stones and ships without iron pickaxe and that's where I am confused.

When i hover over the axe that i create with ceramic it tells me it is tier 4, i think you have your tiers confused.

That's right, ceramic axe tool tier is 4, but its not the ceramic pickaxe, my man.

Yes you are right, and that is confusing, the tier 4 axe is made from ceramic, and the tier 3 pickaxe is ceramic (at least on wikipedia), unsure why they needed to do that

Every gathering lvl is a soft cap of 20 quality.

Woodcutter is lvl 20
rawbone is 40
heavy rawbone is 60
advanced hatchet is 80

You can check this on all tools below speed. It'll be a symbol and a number.

You can gather above these soft caps if you can make a tool higher quality then what it is "allowed" to collect. A lvl 64 ceramic pickaxe will gather lvl 57 stone. So if you bang out the highest ceramic pickaxe possible, you can get better quality stone.

We managed to build an Iron pickaxe, but that is with 50-60 people from the start of the game until about a week ago to build it lmao.

I was looking on gamepedia not in game, so maybe there info is wrong.

[Xuhybrid]

T2 gives max Q40, T3 gives max Q60... You ask how to get Q80 without T4?

[Xaton]

think that number icon is actualy multiplyer like x2 resources and x 3 resources but the upper number the +1 numbers thought as long as you can get an average regardless of tool can gather higher quality stuff

[Gui-Geek]

you can harvest stone Q80 with T2 Pickaxe lvl 120 or T3 lvl 100 lol = This is impossible without T4 pickaxe now.
Toolcap = (TierCap + ToolQuality ) / 2
