Silver ingot fabrication and underground prospecting
The Silver Pickaxe is forged at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil by combining 10 Silver Bar units and 4 wood blocks. Possessing 45% pickaxe power and a brisk useTime 19, it easily harvests stone, basic cavern ores, Demonite, and Crimtane deposits. However, it cannot break Meteorite blocks, which require at least 50% pickaxe strength. It reliably excavates deep cavern minerals and handles early subterranean dungeon bricks.
Mining cadence advantages and progression limits
Despite lacking the power to mine Meteorite found on the Tungsten Pickaxe, the Silver Pickaxe swings faster with useTime 19 compared to tungsten's 21. It also provides higher digging power than the Lead Pickaxe. Players looking to maximize general mining efficiency benefit from reforging this pickaxe with the Light modifier, granting additional swing velocity for tunneling.
Trivia
- With useTime 19, it swings faster than the Tungsten Pickaxe.
- Its 45% pick power falls just short of the 50% threshold required to harvest Meteorite.
