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 a Nightmare Pickaxe to mine dirt, mud, sand, and clay instead of a Molten Pickaxe, as it is faster and can destroy them in one hit.

These and Molten Pickaxes are the only pickaxes able to mine Ebonstone Blocks, Obsidian, and Hellstone.

The Nightmare Pickaxe is able to dig soft materials like dirt or clay at 3.6 blocks a second, materials like stone at 1.9 blocks a second, and the hardest materials like ebonstone at 1 block a second.
