Wide swinging excavation and melee scaling

The Nebula Pickaxe delivers endgame mining strength paired with broad overhead swings that sweep across multiple blocks at once. Endowed with 225% pickaxe power, it fractures natural terrain and dungeon bricks with quick strikes. Because pickaxes scale directly with melee speed bonuses, items like a Mining Helmet or Feral Claws reduce swing delay, allowing this tool to break blocks faster than fixed-cadence drills. It strikes enemies for 80 base melee damage and 5.5 knockback, batting away hostile mobs while digging.

Ancient Manipulator assembly and reach advantages

Players forge this pickaxe at an Ancient Manipulator using Luminite Bars alongside Nebula Fragments dropped by the celestial pillar. The tool grants a +4 tile range extension bonus, reaching one tile farther than corresponding drills. This extended reach allows miners to hollow out high ceilings, tap distant gem deposits, and quarry wide underground chambers safely without needing to place temporary platforms.

Trivia

  • Pickaxes benefit from melee speed accessories, while drills excavate at a fixed rate.
  • It projects four tiles of bonus mining reach compared to standard tools.
