Is there any easier way to get Hellstone in early Hardmode? Today, my friend and I beat the WoF, and have been having a lot of problems with mobs and the lack of new crafting recipes, so, of course, we decided to try and mine some of the new ore, but neither of us have molten picks, and I found only 9 hellstone bars in our chests. The path in our mine to get to hell is taken over msotly by corruption that somehow spawned with hardmode, and it's almost impossible to survive the trip down. Even if I did somehow get to hell, then I don't know if I can even get it without being burned by lava, and we have no obsidian skin pots.
