One could use the Meteorite Hamaxe before the Molten, but I usually just skip Meteorite altogether I'm normally digging my Hellevator before fighting the 2nd boss anyways (especially if I fished a Reaver Shark). Otherwise, it's pretty much the Pwnhammer clear up to Luminite. If you actually get The Axe to drop from Plantera (I've never seen one yet), you could use that instead.
#BEST PICKAXES TERRARIA MOD#
I usually start with the Molten Hamaxe, and use that all the way up until the Pickaxe Axe, swapping it out for the Pwnhammer. 1 Zenith Pickaxe Mod This mod adds five pickaxes to the game: Jungle Pickaxe Midnight Pickaxe Terra Pickaxe Zenith Pickaxe True Zenith Pickaxe The Terra Pickaxe, Zenith Pickaxe, and True Zenith Pickaxe have special abilities when using right-click. So that pretty much covers the whole Pickaxe Progression. They, too, have +4 Range and can pretty much annihilate large sections of background wall very quickly. There are also Luminite Hamaxes which are by far the best tool for the Hammer/Axe group too. The only reason to use a Laser Drill is for the range, but then that usually is not necessary anyways, +4 and the Gizmo Pack gives you, what, a 13 block range already? lol. The Luminite Pickaxes might have 5% less than the Laser Drill, but they mine much faster. This pickaxe can mine Lihzarhd Bricks and has +4 Range (better than Spectral). The last pickaxe you'd get is one made of Luminite (I chose Solar myself).

Laser Drill is not all that great, though it does have extreme range.ġ3). I wouldn't bother with the Spectral Pickaxe Luminite is better.ġ2). The Shroomite Claw is faster than the Picksaw, but has a lot less Range.ġ1). The Picksaw is the next natural progression, but sometimes Golem doesn't want to drop it so you might have to skip it.ġ0). Kill all 3 mech bosses to get a Drax or Pickaxe Axe (highly recommend the latter it can hold enemies off while you swing and you can put +Speed on the pickaxe to make it mine faster).ĩ). You need 30 Adamantite/Titanium Ore + Hellforge to make a new furnaceĨ). I usually skip Adamantite/Titanium Pickaxes unless I'm fishing (then I make a Titanium Pickaxe and Adamantite Armor)ħ). Once the anvil is made, make the pickaxe.Ħ). Then you need Mythril or Orichalcum Ore to make an Anvil of this material. You'd start by using your Reaver Shark or Molten Pickaxe to mine Cobalt or Palladium (whichever your world received).ĥ). Once in Hardmode, you would either fish up crates or use the Pwnhammer to break altars to bless your world with ores.Ĥ). Even if you did get a Reaver Shark, the MP might be useful as it lights up nearby blocks while you tunnel (or, you could equip a magma stone to cause the same effect).ģ). If you didn't get a Reaver Shark, you could now go down to the Underworld and get a Molten Pickaxe. Get a Reaver Shark (fish in the ocean, spend a night getting a bunch of fireflies!) -or- get a pickaxe off of the 2nd boss's drops (Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu).Ģ).

(That means melee weapons that are not swung. The best modifiers are: Godly, for melee weapons that cannot have their speed modified, or for melee weapons that cannot have their size modified. Starting Gold/Platinum Pickaxe, you could either.ġ). 14 There were no new modifiers added in 1.2, so the modifiers for these items are the same as the ones for their respective classes. The route one usually takes looks something like this:
