Dynamite

Dynamite destroys blocks surrounding it and deals 250 damage. Unlike Bombs, it is used more frequently as a mining tool than for combat, since it destroys a large quantity of blocks and takes a fair amount of time before detonation. Dynamite can be bought from the Demolitionist for 50 Silver or found in treasure chests that are located in caves and chasms. Dynamite can break through Ebonstone which is useful for reaching Shadow Orbs if the player does not yet have a Nightmare Pickaxe. It can also break Meteorite with ease, providing an easy way to harvest the material.

They can be stored in stacks of 3 per inventory slot.

Dynamite cannot break Hellstone or dungeon blocks.
