| Orichalcum Chainsaw | 12 × Orichalcum Bar | Mythril Anvil |
Mechanical timber cutting and Orichalcum forging
The Orichalcum Chainsaw is a motorized Hardmode logging tool crafted from 12 Orichalcum Bar items at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. With 90% axe power and rapid channeled contact, it cuts through tree trunks and underground giant mushrooms rapidly. Holding the attack button keeps the saw buzzing continuously without requiring repeated manual clicks. It strikes nearby enemies for 31 base melee damage with 3.75 knockback, preventing weaker pests from interrupting lumber collection.
Chainsaw continuous channels versus swung waraxes
Unlike the swinging Orichalcum Waraxe, this tool channels a focused cutting tip directly forward. Because drills and chainsaws maintain fixed operation rates in modern versions, they do not benefit from melee attack speed accessories or the Light prefix. Players looking to optimize this tool should aim for the Godly or Demonic modifier to maximize base strike damage and critical hits. Compared to the Mythril Chainsaw, it demands two extra bars but provides higher cutting strength and damage.
Trivia
- Chainsaws cannot roll the Light prefix and do not benefit from attack speed boosts.
- It shares the same axe power as the Orichalcum Waraxe while operating on a continuous channel.
