Lead metallurgy and cavern excavation
Players forge the Lead Pickaxe at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil with 10 Lead Bar ingots and 3 wood blocks. Providing 43% pickaxe power and an animation speed of useTime 19, it readily breaks dirt, mud, stone, and early metal ores, functioning as a primary mining tool throughout initial underground exploration. Its increased pick power allows it to excavate stone and dense clay layers more smoothly than iron variants.
Iron counterpart superiority and modifier advantages
The Lead Pickaxe holds a distinct advantage over the Iron Pickaxe, boasting higher pickaxe power and a faster swing rate with useTime 19 compared to iron's 20. It sits slightly below the Silver Pickaxe in mining strength. Reforging it to the Light prefix accelerates block breaking, making it an effective choice for digging hellevators and cavern shafts.
Trivia
