Upgrade of Dragon Pickaxe into Infernal Pickaxe

By using a smoldering stone on a dragon pickaxe (requires the smithing skill of 85) the players can change their dragon's pickaxe into an infernal pickaxe.Doing this, you'll have a chance of melting the ores when you're mining, giving you smithing skills in addition to your mining experiences. This is a great way to mix smithing and mining training.The infernal pickaxe has 5000 charges in total which means you can smelt 5000 ore (or mine 15000 ores) until the pickaxe degrades back into an ordinary dragon pickaxe.The smoldering stone costs 1.1M grams at the Grand Exchange.

Please note: turning the dragon pickaxe to an infernal means that the infernal pickaxe is no longer tradeable and it is impossible to reverse this process.Other equipments that are "infernal" equivalents include: the infernal axe (woodcutting) and the infernal Harpoon (fishing).
