The Orichalcum Drill is a Hardmode drill, and is the drill alternative to the Orichalcum Pickaxe. In comparison to the Orichalcum Pickaxe, the drill is faster. But, unlike pickaxes, drills cannot be reforged with speed modifiers and are not boosted by Mining Speed bonuses.

It can mine any block except Chlorophyte Ore and Lihzahrd Bricks.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it, and furthermore cannot get modifiers that affect its speed, either.
