Foundational block shaping and background stripping

Forged using 8 Copper Bar ingots and 3 Wood at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Copper Hammer carries 35% hammer power. It swings at speed 33 to shape solid blocks into slopes and half-tiles, connect platform staircases, and dismantle background wall tiles. These functions make it a helpful early asset when converting raw cavern cavities into secure town housing.

Comparison with wooden and alternate tier hammers

This tool offers a marked improvement over the crude Wooden Hammer, which only provides 25% power and a sluggish use time of 37. However, worlds blessed with tin ore can forge the Tin Hammer instead, obtaining 38% power and faster swings at use time 31. Upgrading to the Light prefix minimizes swing delay, speeding up room renovations until players gain access to an Iron Hammer.

Trivia

  • Crafted from 8 Copper Bars and 3 Wood at any anvil.
