The Gold Pickaxe is the fourth tier of Pickaxes, being one tier above the Tungsten Pickaxe and one tier below the Platinum Pickaxe and two below the Nightmare Pickaxe. Like all Pickaxes, it is used to mine a majority of Blocks and Ores. The Gold Pickaxe can also be used to mine Meteorite Ore, Demonite Ore and Crimtane Ore. However, it is incapable of mining Ebonstone, Crimstone Block, Hellstone, Obsidian, dungeon bricks and Hard Mode Ores.
Tips[]
- If the player wishes to speed up game progression and skip the necessity to mine for Gold Ore, one can skip having to make this Pickaxe by farming Demonite/Crimtane Ore from the Corrupt/Crimson boss in that world, namely the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu. This allows one to create the Nightmare Pickaxe or Deathbringer Pickaxe without actually having to break any of the respective Ores.
