"Necessary for mixed climbing" - Review of Petzl Quad Dry-Tooling Ice Pick for Quark
The default Quark ice picks are the Cascade Ice Picks (Type B). The Cascades aren't as durable as the Quads Ice Picks (Type T). They aren't as thick as the Quads and their tips are sharp for better ice penetration, but they will get damaged if you bang them on rock. The Quads aren't as good for ice. They are thicker and the tips aren't as sharp. But if you want to save your default Ice Picks (the Cascades) that come with your Quark ice tools during mixed climbing, then I'd recommend investing in getting these built for mixed climbing ice picks.
