Tips

• Compared to its alternative ore, Silver, having Tungsten in a world may be more favorable to magic weapon users, as it allows acquiring the magic-boosting Meteor armor faster. A Tungsten Pickaxe can mine Meteorite, while a Silver Pickaxe cannot. Meteorite is required for crafting the Meteor armor.
• Because Tungsten armor only grants 1 defense less than Gold armor, it is usually not worth spending time to gather Gold for the armor. Tungsten Ore is generally much more common than Gold Ore.

Trivia

• In reality, tungsten is extremely difficult to work due to its hardness; it has one of the highest melting points of the elements. It also is used in the filament for light bulbs due to its heat resistance.
  • Furthermore, real-life tungsten is actually a white metal, not green.
• The word tungsten derives from the Swedish and Danish words tung ("heavy") and sten ("stone").
