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.

Trivia

  • The Iron and Lead Pickaxes only require 3 Wood to craft, unlike the rest of the early-game pickaxes which all require 4 Wood.
  • The Iron Pickaxe has an item ID of 1, implying that it is the first item added to the game or perhaps the first item added to the item ID list.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.1: Iron Bars needed to craft decreased from 12 to 10.
