Wooden Crate

The Wooden Crate is the lowest tier of crate, having the least value if sold directly. Like other crates, it is obtained by fishing. 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" ores, and the only source for "alternate" Hardmode ores.

Trivia

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