I have a dilemma. I need shadow scales to make the nightmare pickaxe which can mine ebonstone, and the only way to get shadow scales is from the eater of worlds. To get the eater of worlds to come I need to MINE THROUGH ebonstone to get to the shadow orbs to summon it. Of course you see my problem, how do i mine this stuff to get to the shadow orbs without a nightmare pickaxe?
