How to Get the Kobold Pickaxe in WoW: The War Within

Looking at the issues with the Kobold Pickaxe in WoW: The War Within!

Normally, the Kobold Pickaxe would be part of the Treasures of the Isle of Dorn achievement. However, quite a few aspects in-game aren’t working properly and are plagued by technical issues. If you’re out treasure hunting, here’s how to get the Kobold Pickaxe in WoW: The War Within.

WoW The War Within: How to Get the Kobold Pickaxe

The location marked on the map above is where the Kobold Pickaxe spawns. However, even if the treasure marker on your minimap is present, the Kobold Pickaxe doesn’t properly appear. This effectively makes the treasure impossible to get. And no matter how long you wait at the location, the item simply never loads in.

Forums and discussions in locations such as WoWHead state that Blizzard is aware of this issue, and they confirmed that the item isn’t working as intended. Unfortunately, the team also admits that there is currently no workaround or resolution for this issue. As a result, it’s best to give up attempting to get this treasure for the time being. On the bright side, you no longer need to spend hours standing at this location, waiting for an item to spawn that won’t actually show up. Although this isn’t the only item, quest, or achievement that has this type of issue, it’s rather disappointing.

Right now, there’s no information about a timeline regarding when a fix might be implemented. My advice would be to bookmark the WoWHead link above. This lets you check back in on the comment section, which is where players will likely report being able to get the pickaxe when it’s fixed. In the meantime, it would be best to turn your attention to other treasures that are working as intended.

That covers how to get the Kobold Pickaxe in WoW: The War Within. Or why you’re unable to get it at the moment. From here, check out our WoW guide hub for more content!
