Reaver Shark

The Reaver Shark is a Pickaxe available through fishing. It is notable for being one of only two pickaxes that can be obtained before Hardmode and used to mine the first tier of Hardmode-exclusive ores,Cobalt and Palladium Ore. Its mining speed is 30% faster than the Molten Pickaxe, the only other pre-Hardmode pickaxe that can mine these ores. However, like the Molten Pickaxe, it is slower than some earlier pickaxes in mining blocks that are easily broken in one hit, such as Dirt.

The Reaver Shark can be obtained via Fishing in the Ocean. The chance to catch it is 1:100 with 50% Fishing power and 1:50 with 100% Fishing Power.

Tips

 * The Reaver Shark is an alternative to fighting the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu to craft the pickaxe required to mine Ebonstone, Crimstone, Obsidian, Hellstone, and Dungeon Bricks.
 * The Reaver Shark is very useful in all of pre-Hardmode and can be invaluable if caught early in the game.

Trivia

 * This bears some visual resemblance to a Hammerhead shark.
