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.
