While a Wooden Crate nominally offers the least valuable rewards, it is the only crate tier which drops ores. As such, it is one of the few sources for "alternate" pre-Hardmode ores. Its Hardmode counterpart is the.

Trivia

 * Wooden Crates are able to drop rare items from Surface and Underground Wooden Chests, making those items renewable. However, none of the early-game weapons, such as the Blowpipe or the Wooden Boomerang, can be obtained from Wooden Crates.

Tips

 * Pre-1.4, it was beneficial to fish for crates pre-hardmode while saving them for hardmode to get the hardmode ores without breaking any Altars. This had the added benefit of not spawning random Ebonstone/Crimstone or Pearlstone in the world with each altar broken. In 1.4.0.1, crates fished pre-hardmode no longer drop hardmode items even after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.
 * With 1.4.0.1, the ores were separated to hardmode crates, making this tactic useless.
