Hook

The Hook is an item used solely to craft the Grappling Hook, which also requires 3 Iron Chains. It can only be obtained as a drop from the underground enemies Skeletons, Dead miners, and Piranhas.

As of 1.0.5 hooks have the following drop rates.


 * Skeleton: 4% (1:25 chance)


 * Undead Miner: 4% (1:25 chance)

The Hook sells for 2 Silver.
 * Piranha: 2.5% (1:40 chance)

Tips

 * The drop rate is fairly rare. A good way to find one is to make a long flat piece of land long enough to extend off-screen, and far enough underground for Skeletons to spawn (generally the Rock Layer); this will ensure a continuous wave of Skeletons. Carrying a Water Candle will spawn more skeletons, further increasing the chances of getting a hook.
 * When the Grappling Hook has already been crafted and you're past the need for Iron supplies, unneeded Hooks you obtain can be crafted into additional Grappling Hooks with just 9 Iron Bars (which must be crafted into 3 Iron Chains first), and sold to a vendor, yielding a more impressive amount (40 Silver) than selling the Hook (2 Silver) and Iron Bars (27 Silver) separately.
