So sometime ago, a band of barbarians went far down below armed with pickaxes- probably to mine for ore or some other natural resource found in Blighttown. Looks like Blighttown mined them instead.

The fact that it has A scaling, and you can get the item repeatedly...Is this a viable crystal weapon? For bosses and such only.
I also usually run with weapons that have 200 durability anyway and have no trouble.

Why do you even need a legendary sword that takes superhuman strength to use, when you can easily mince your enemies with a simple but surprisingly effective pickaxe? And you can even buff it.
