The Iron Pickaxe is an early-game pickaxe. Its alternate ore counterpart is the Lead Pickaxe.

Like other low-tier pickaxes, the Iron Pickaxe can only mine blocks and ores weaker than Meteorite (which requires a pickaxe with at least 50% pickaxe power, e.g. a Tungsten Pickaxe).

In Journey Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), the Iron Pickaxe replaces the Copper Pickaxe as a starting item for new characters.

Its best modifier is Light for harvesting purposes and Legendary for combat purposes.
