Temple masonry mining and reach extension
The Spectre Pickaxe is a premier post-Plantera excavation tool that delivers 200% pickaxe power alongside a +3 tile range extension bonus. With its high pickaxe potency, it breaks tough Lihzahrd Brick and Lihzahrd Altar blocks, granting free access to the Jungle Temple. The tool deals 32 base melee damage and 5.25 knockback across an auto-swinging arc, fending off dungeon skeletons and jungle pests while tunneling.
Spectre Bar metallurgy and excavation speed
Crafting the pickaxe demands 18 Spectre Bar ingots forged at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. Unlike drills with fixed drilling cycles, this pickaxe scales with melee speed boosts, mining potion effects, and armor set bonuses, unlocking rapid block-breaking rates. Its extended reach lets miners clear out wide tunnels, break distant traps, and mine hazardous ore veins safely before confronting the Moon Lord.
Trivia
- With 200% pickaxe power, it can mine Lihzahrd Bricks from the Jungle Temple exterior.
- Its +3 tile reach bonus makes it one of the longest-reaching pickaxes prior to Moon Lord.
