![]() ![]() Adamantite or Titanium - Mythril or better Pickaxe needed.Mythril or Orichalcum - Cobalt or better Pickaxe needed.Cobalt or Palladium - Molten (Hellstone) Pickaxe or Reaver Shark (ocean fishing) required.Players in Hard Mode can make Drills - they are no more powerful, just lack knockback. Each pass through will give less than the first, with greatly diminished returns past the 9th broken altar. For every 3 altars, the process begins again, only with the same ore you 'rolled' when first breaking them. Hard Mode worlds will generate either of the below when a Demon Altar is broken with the Pwnhammer. Meteorite allows you to make phaseblades, space guns, and the Meteor Hamaxe. This is a big leap in power over the regular ores of Normal Mode, but is about on par with Crimtane/Demonite sets. Mine it carefully, as contact with the blocks causes you to burn and die rather quickly. Meteorites can drop after a Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart (in Corrupt Biomes) are destroyed with a hammer. Nightmare/Deathbringer Pickaxe is needed. Hellstone - found in the Underworld only.Nightmare/Deathbringer (Corruption/Crimson) Pickaxe is needed. ![]() Obsidian - formed when water meets lava.Meteorite - Tungsten or better Pickaxe required.Primarily gained from killing Eye of Cthulhu or Corrupt bosses. Demonite or Crimtane - Corruption/Crimson - Gold or better Pickaxe required.The lowest-tier pickaxe that will do this is listed next to the metals with that requirement. You will need a pickaxe of sufficient quality to mine harder metals. The second is generally 'better', but the differences are not huge. Newly-created Worlds generate with either of the pairs below. Sometimes, these chests contain Weapons and Bars of Gold/Platinum that may be useful.įirst - to get a FAQ out of the way - you will not have every ore available in Terraria in one world, and this can be confusing to a new player. Ore List and Pickaxe Requirements Mining is not just about finding ore, it's also about exploring the world so that you can locate its treasures and build up your collection of Accessories. It is very much worth knowing about, as it is one of only a few ways to get ores that are not available in your world. It is mainly so you can minimize the difficult jump in power from Wall of Flesh to the Mechanical Bosses. Maybe you'd have an easier time getting to Gold/Platnium Armor, initiating Hard Mode, then doing this, but know that players can jump straight to a full set of Adamantite armor upon starting hard by simply Fishing! Don't flame me for not liking methods like this myself, I do want people to be aware of the usefulness. You can fish up crates and save them for Hard Mode, those crates will then contain Hard Mode ores. Fishing is quite powerful right now, and to the point that it is something I will not pursue. There are two other methods - blowing things up with bombs/dynamite (covered below), which can be costly unless you're just saving those you find, and Fishing (PC, but soon on Console (hopefully)). there are even Fishing & Crate Potions to speed this process up! fish, but also crates, crates produce ore and bars. Do what you want in Terraria and have a good time while you're at it. Those things aside, you may like the sound of a drill or find it 'cool'. The knockback of pickaxes can also keep enemies off you while you work. It can be boosted further with the Agile/Light prefix through reforging, and accessories with melee speed will affect a Pickaxe. Use what you want, but the Pickaxe is just faster because of this. You can use a Pickaxe or Drill to mine, but the Pickaxe is arguably better - particularly for PC players who have access to Mining Potions. Mining Methods: Pickaxe or Drill? Or Neither! I will link to other guides that may help a struggling player while showing examples of where ore can be found in the Terraria world. Some metals are not gained by mining, but we get to them through this process. It is the primary means of improving your gear early in the game and will allow you to progress deeper into the world, earn coins, and engage more challenging bosses. Mining is a key aspect of the gameplay in Terraria. This inspired me to make my own guide and describe the process of finding good ore to mine. I wasted way, way too much time digging in the surface and underground. When I was a new player and searching for whether depth mattered for ore, I read some dated information from early in Terraria's development and thought it true. Terraria Mining Guide Ore Types, Mining Tips, and the Depth Factor Mining Chlorophyte and Titanium Ore in Terraria's Jungle with a Spelunker and Shine Potion to assist in finding the metals. ![]()
