Molten Pickaxe



The Molten Pickaxe is the second greatest pre-hardmode Pickaxe and one of the only two pre-hardmode tools capable of mining hardmode ores, the other being the Reaver Shark, thus is a very essential tool. It has the convenient side benefit of emitting light, making it potentially useful even after obtaining a hardmode Drill or Pickaxe.

The Molten Pickaxe can destroy most blocks in one hit. However, its mining speed is very slow, making it slower than Tungsten Pickaxe and above at mining the weakest block types: Ash, Clay, Dirt, Mud, and Sand. For stone-like blocks it is faster than all pickaxes except for Bone Pickaxe, for ebonstone-like blocks it is faster than all pickaxes except Deathbringer Pickaxe. For all other block types it is the fastest pickaxe. Reaver Shark and Hardmode pickaxes are faster in all cases though.

If used as a weapon, it has a 10% chance of setting enemies on fire for a few seconds.
