Surface quarrying and initial vein extraction
The Tin Pickaxe is forged at an anvil using 8 Tin Bar ingots and 4 Wood. Delivering 35% pickaxe power with a brisk use time of 21, it excavates surface dirt, clay, stone, and underground minerals including iron, silver, and gold. However, it lacks the strength to crack tougher materials such as Meteorite or Demonite Ore, which demand higher tiers of mining tools.
Performance differences against copper tools
As the alternate counterpart to the Copper Pickaxe, the Tin Pickaxe features a slight performance upgrade. While both tools maintain 35% pick power, the tin version swings faster at use time 21 compared to copper at 23, and inflicts 5 base damage. Rerolling for the Light modifier maximizes its swing rate, speeding up the excavation of hellevators and underground exploration pathways before upgrading to an Iron Pickaxe.
Trivia
- Requires 8 Tin Bars and 4 Wood crafted at an iron or lead anvil.
