📋 About This Mod
Picks, so useful under the right conditions, and yet so bland...until now. The following changes apply:
1. Picks give a 1d4 attack bonus to Gold Dwarves and Deep Gnomes.
2. Picks do 2d6 extra Piercing damage to anything that is made of Stone, is Frozen, or is Petrified (one shot those annoying Underdark Drow!)
3. Picks are now Versatile, and do either 1d8 or 1d10 damage if wielded in both hands.
4. You can now use your pick to dig up buried treasure. Just have a pick in your inventory like a shovel.
5. The Pickaxe now does 1d12 damage
6. Picks have: Pick the Scab. If a target has less than 75hp, attempt to make it Bleed for 3 turns.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and straightforward—just better warpicks, no bloat.
- Recent update (August 2025) means it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
- Lightweight mod with 773 downloads, so it's been tried by a decent number of players.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (24) compared to downloads, suggesting it may not be a must-have.
- Niche appeal—only useful if you actually care about mining efficiency in Skyrim.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple weapon mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex.
- Make sure to check the mod's load order—place it after any mods that alter mining mechanics to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, verify the mod is compatible with your version (it was updated recently, so likely yes).
