Obsidian Pickaxe — Detailed Guide
A pickaxe for specialised stone
Primitive Plus, a DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved, adds this Obsidian Pickaxe. The in-game text: "Used to collect specialized stone resources from rocks." The ARK Wiki calls it the obsidian counterpart of the 
Metal Pick and the main way to gather Claystone, Limestone, 
Coal and Carbon.
What each rock gives
- Normal rocks yield Claystone in place of Flint.
- Metal rocks yield Limestone and Carbon in place of Iron.
- Obsidian rocks yield Carbon and Coal in place of Obsidian.
- Crystal and Oil nodes give only Stone.
Like the Metal Pick, it gathers faster than the stone version. Compared with the 
Stone Pick it does a little over half the damage; next to the Metal Pick it does under a third. To get the Obsidian for crafting it, the wiki suggests using a flyer to stay safe.
Engram and recipe
Our data lists the engram at level 40 for 25 engram points, and the wiki names the 
Smithy as the crafting station. One pickaxe takes 20 
Obsidian, 5 
Wood and 10 
Hide; crafting lasts 5 seconds and gives 5 XP. Repairs cost 10 Obsidian, 2.5 Wood and 5 Hide.
Durability and weight
The pickaxe has 40 durability and weighs 2. Its stack size is 1, so each one takes its own slot.
