| Wooden Hammer | 8 × Wood | Work Bench |
Initial shelter carpentry and basic tile sloping
The Wooden Hammer represents the most fundamental hammer available in Terraria, assembled using 8 ordinary Wood at a Work Bench. Supplying 25% hammer power with a sluggish use time of 37, it gives new players their first means to remove player-placed background walls, flatten platforms into stairs, and bevel raw earth or stone into angled ramps. Its weak swing delivers 2 melee damage with 5.5 knockback.
Early replacement and regional wood superiority
Due to its low 25% hammer power and slow swing cadence, breaking placed walls takes several strikes per tile. Nearly every other regional wood variant, such as Boreal Wood Hammer (35%) or Ebonwood Hammer (40%), provides immediate performance gains without costing metal. As a result, builders usually discard the standard wooden mallet as soon as alternate timber varieties or copper ingots are gathered.
Trivia
