Tin Axe

Lumber harvesting and anvil metalcraft

Crafted from 6 Tin Bar ingots and 3 Wood at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Tin Axe offers 40% axe power with an attack speed of 28. It swiftly fells forest trees, palm trunks, cacti, and giant glowing mushrooms, providing raw lumber for housing constructions and wooden crafting recipes across early surface exploration. It also doubles as a makeshift swinging implement, inflicting 4 base melee damage against wandering surface slimes.

Chopping efficiency over the starter copper axe

Compared to the default starter Copper Axe, the Tin Axe cuts down timber in fewer swings due to its higher 40% axe power rating versus copper's 35%, while also swinging quicker with use time 28 instead of 30. Players seeking maximum chopping speed benefit from the Light modifier, though woodcutters usually replace it once acquiring an Iron Axe or higher metal tiers.
