Timber harvesting speed and woodland clearance
Crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil with 8 Platinum Bar ingots and 3 Wood, the Platinum Axe boasts 60% axe power. It swings with Fast velocity at 25 use time, dealing 8 base melee damage and 4.5 knockback. This generous axe power allows woodcutters to fell tall surface trees and giant underground mushrooms in fewer chops than lower-tier tools.
Comparison against gold axes and hamaxe alternatives
This tool acts as the counterpart to the Gold Axe, offering a 5% improvement in axe power that speeds up forestry tasks. While hamaxes like the Meteor Hamaxe and Molten Hamaxe combine chopping and wall destruction into a single slot later on, the Platinum Axe remains the most potent dedicated ore axe available throughout early world progression, providing reliable tree cutting across surface biomes.
Trivia
