Meteor Hamaxe

Meteorite bar forging and dual harvesting functions

Forged at an anvil using twenty Meteorite Bar ingots, this hybrid implement unites 100% axe power with 60% hammer power into a single tool slot. Players save valuable inventory space during subterranean journeys by carrying one versatile instrument capable of felling trees, trimming wooden platforms, shaping slopes, and demolishing background walls. Striking hostile cavern creatures inflicts 20 melee damage alongside 7 knockback, keeping aggressive bats and skeletons at bay while exploring.

Pre-Hardmode utility comparisons and combat limits

Unlike the later Molten Hamaxe, this tool produces no illuminating ember particles and cannot ignite struck targets. Its hammer rating is more than sufficient to shatter Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart chasms to trigger meteor strikes and boss encounters, though it cannot break altars before Hardmode. Compared to separate silver or gold harvesting tools, its dual capability streamlines mining expeditions and construction projects.

Trivia

• Combines the functions of an axe and a hammer into a single pre-Hardmode tool slot.
• Crafting requires twenty Meteorite Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil.
