Tri-boss trophy forging and jungle ore access

The Pickaxe Axe is a dual-purpose swinging implement offering 200% pickaxe power and 110% axe power. It is forged at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil using 18 Hallowed Bar ingots alongside one Soul of Fright, one Soul of Might, and one Soul of Sight. Possessing 200% pickaxe power unlocks the ability to quarry Chlorophyte Ore in the Underground Jungle, making it a critical bridge into post-mechanical progression.

Melee speed scaling and drax comparison

In comparison to the Drax, this tool performs overhead swings that benefit from melee speed modifiers and mining speed consumables. When combined with a Mining Potion and the Light prefix (+15% swing speed), its block-clearing rate substantially exceeds that of motorized drills. This scaling makes the Pickaxe Axe the superior option for clearing expansive caverns, excavating boss arenas, and harvesting jungle flora safely.

Trivia

  • Unlike the Drax, this implement benefits from melee swing speed bonuses and mining potions.
  • Crafting it demands souls harvested from all three mechanical bosses.
