Where to find the Sturdy Pickaxe in Octopath Traveler 2
To find the pickaxe in Octopath Traveler 2, you must go to Oresrush, a mining town in the Wildlands on the west continent. This is also Partitio's starting point. However, you must have a character you can acquire items with their path action, such as Partitio or Throné. So, make sure you have one of these characters in your party.
Head to the Armorer, the building in the northeast corner. Inside you can find the Retired Miner NPC. You must steal or purchase the Sturdy Pickaxe from this NPC during the day, as Osvald cannot mug the Retired Miner at night. You also need to be high enough level to complete this. Once you have the item, return to Winterbloom.
