Pickaxe Rentals

The pickaxe rental market lets owners earn from spare picks while renters mine with gear far above their own. Open it with /rentals — it only works inside safe zones.

Renting a pickaxe

Renting one pickaxe costs 1 White Scroll, deposited to your rental balance beforehand. While you mine a rented pickaxe, two cuts come off the top:

• The owner's cut — the cash and Ancient Energy share they set, anywhere from 0–50% each.
• A system fee, scaled to how close the pickaxe is to the current level cap:

So a top-tier rental is the most lucrative to mine with but also the most heavily taxed, while older picks let you keep almost everything.

When a lease ends

A lease ends if you stop mining for too long, log out, or die. Death consumes your White Scroll — ending the lease voluntarily returns it instead. The owner can also recall their pickaxe at any time, with a 30-second grace period before it leaves your hands.

Listing your own pickaxe

To put a pickaxe on the market, open My Listings, click the pickaxe, set your cash and Ancient Energy cut (0–50% each), and confirm. Note that any Ancient Energy stored on the pickaxe is cleared when you list it — bank or spend it first.

Once listed:

• Collect Tax — gather your earnings any time from this page.
• My Listings — recall the pickaxe, unlist it, or blacklist a renter you'd rather not deal with.

Listing out a high-prestige pickaxe is a steady income stream from gear you've already built — someone else does the mining, and you take your cut.
