Pre-Hardmode Anvils
The Iron Anvil and Lead Anvil (Pre-Hardmode anvils, collectively) are crafting stations used mainly to craft weapons and armor. Both anvils can craft the same items. Most of their recipes require metal bars, although they are also used to make other items, such as the Jungle tier of equipment. An anvil is a vital crafting station for most of the game, as it is used to make items from every tier up to Cobalt and Palladium, after which it must be replaced by a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil.
Both anvils are craftable, but can sometimes also be found in Underground Cabins. The Iron Anvil can furthermore be purchased from the Merchant.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In reality, lead would not be a feasible metal for making anvils. It would not keep its structure very long, due to the low Mohs hardness (1.5) and melting point (600 K) of pure lead.
- The anvil is used to craft many items that an actual anvil would not be used for, such as the Amazon yoyo.
