Festive reskin traits and gold tier mining equivalence
Statistically equivalent to a Gold Pickaxe, this festive tool features a red-and-white peppermint striped visual design accompanied by a cheerful jingle sound upon swinging. Finding this pickaxe early in a playthrough grants immediate high-grade mining capability, accelerating exploration through deep caverns and letting miners gather valuable resources without spending scarce pre-Hardmode metal bars on basic utility tools, giving new characters an early subterranean edge.
