Pickaxes Skill ID

Pickaxes is one of Valheim's character skills, tracked under the internal ID Pickaxes. Determines damage and stamina cost with Pickaxes.

Experience is gained at 1.5 per attack when hitting stone or ore deposits.

At max level (100) it grants +131% damage and knockback, -33% stamina usage.

Adjust your level from the console with raiseskill Pickaxes 10 to add 10 points, or resetskill Pickaxes to wipe it back to 0.

Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the +131% damage and knockback, -33% stamina usage above is the full value you reach at level 100. Pickaxes earns experience at 1.5 per attack when hitting stone or ore deposits, so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.

Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Pickaxes included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill Pickaxes 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill Pickaxes wipes the skill back to 0.
