Reaver Shark

The Reaver Shark is a pickaxe available through fishing in the Ocean. It is notable for being the strongest pre-Hardmode pickaxe.

Obtaining the Reaver Shark can be a crucial step in gameplay progression by removing the need to defeat the Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu. These bosses are normally a step to obtain the Nightmare or Deathbringer Pickaxe which in turn allows the player to mine Obsidian and Hellstone for Hellstone Bars. The Reaver Shark, however, is also powerful enough to mine Obsidian and Hellstone, allowing the player to obtain Hellstone equipment without fighting any bosses.

The Reaver Shark is also one of only two pre-Hardmode pickaxes capable of mining the first tier of Hardmode-exclusive ores, Cobalt and Palladium Ore. The other pickaxe able to do this is the Molten Pickaxe.
