Underworld timber craft and high pre-hardmode power
Crafted from 8 Ash Wood at a Work Bench, the Ash Wood Hammer brings 45% hammer power and 9 base melee damage. Harvested from ash trees in The Underworld, this lumber tool represents the strongest wooden hammer available prior to Hardmode. It surpasses standard Wooden Hammer (25%), Copper Hammer (35%), and even the Iron Hammer (40%) in raw hammer strength.
Expedited wall clearance and construction efficiency
With a brisk use time of 30 and 45% hammer power, the Ash Wood Hammer tears through placed tiles, natural cavern backdrops, and dungeon brick walls swiftly. Builders venturing into the underworld early can harvest fallen ash branches to manufacture this high-power tool without spending metal ingots. Reforging it with the Light prefix maximizes swing rate, offering an inexpensive demolition tool for base renovations across all subterranean biomes.
