Adamantite tier access and swinging arc coverage
The Mythril Pickaxe represents a pivotal milestone in Hardmode progression, crafted from fifteen Mythril Bar ingots at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. With 150% pickaxe power, it breaks into Adamantite Ore and Titanium Ore deposits near the underworld roof. Each swing inflicts 15 base melee damage and 5 knockback, clearing cobwebs and defending against cavern threats.
Excavation reach comparisons and Light modifier benefits
Choosing the Mythril Pickaxe over the Mythril Drill provides one additional tile of mining reach, creating a safety margin when harvesting ore pockets suspended over lava pools. Unlike drills, swinging pickaxes benefit from melee attack speed boosts. Combining the Light modifier with accessories like an Ancient Chisel or Mining Helmet accelerates swing speed considerably. It also saves three bars compared to the 18 bars required for an Orichalcum Pickaxe.
Trivia
- Swung pickaxes benefit from attack speed bonuses that do not affect drills.
- It requires fifteen bars to forge, three fewer than the Orichalcum Pickaxe.
