The only advantage to high quality equipment is in case they need to use it in combat - legendary miners equipped with steel picks are downright deadly, making them great emergency soldiers early in the game before you establish a military.

I've never seen my dwarves attack with a pick. What weapon group does the pick fall under? Usually I'll see my pick-wielding emergency recruits running up and wrestling the bastards.

Miners that get recruited and don't have their weapon settings changed will use picks. Picks are basically like spears, though -- okay damage, massive crit boost, and high chance of stuck-ins. So they're liable to lose the pick pretty quickly and default to wrestling.

Right, but shouldn't ultra-mighty, Legendary +5 miners be able to hold on to their picks well enough? I mean, I'm not sure if the chance of pulling out a stuck in is strength based (it might be agility- or skill-based, or even totally random), but whenever I played adventure mode, I was under the impression that maintaining possession of whatever becomes stuck in becomes easier as my character was more experienced.
