Molten Hamaxe...?

[GrimReaper]

I got into Hardmode and found that I can't create anything using any ores or bars of post-WoF mined metals that gives a higher axe power than the Molten Hamaxe. Is this a bug, or is it an incomprehensible game-balance thing? :P

you need to make a new anvil (and later new forge.)

I did. I'm saying, the chainsaws and stuff have 70-100% Axe Power, and the Molten Hamaxe has 150%. :P

hamaxe also swings like once per second while chainsaw "cuts" like 10times as often

Oh, okay. So it's not actually unbalanced in favor of the lower-tier item. It should say something along those lines... :P

It does say that in form of a different speed, doesn't it? Molten Hamaxe is average, while the chainsaws are fast.

Thought that was strictly attack speed; Ale doesn't increase digging speed, but increases melee speed.

You're right though.

All of the craftable axes are worse, except for the solar event ones and possibly the pickaxe-axe. Doesn't make much sense to me either.

(Claw isn't an "axe", chainsaws aren't "axes").

The listed time to chop down a tree is lower on most of them, though. So Nani was right. Anyway, thanks, guys, for clearing that up.

I find making better axes is often a waste of ore. I rarely need to use them so I just keep whatever is the first hamaxe I craft. I make a hamaxe purely to save space.
