Nightmare Pickaxe

Nightmare Pickaxes are the fifth tier of Pickaxes, being one tier above Gold Pickaxes and one tier below Molten Pickaxes. Like all pickaxes, they are used to mine a majority of blocks and ores.

Nightmare Pickaxes are faster than Molten Pickaxes, although not nearly as powerful. It is recommended to use the Nightmare Pickaxe to mine dirt, instead of Molten Pickaxes, as this pickaxe is faster than the molten, and destroy dirt in one hit.

These and Molten Pickaxes are the only pickaxes able to mine Ebonstone Blocks, Obsidian, and Hellstone (Gold Pickaxes may be able to mine Hellstone. This needs to be confirmed.)
