everytime you find an item or even when you start the game you may get better stuff, or worse some of the items have - stats you just have to keep makeing pick axes all about luck you cant upgrade weapons :) hope this helps

That's not entirely accurate. All items do have a chance at receiving a random enchantment (good or bad) upon creation but it is possible to "reforge" these items later in the game to change that enchantment.

you could but remember that the hardest part is finding the ore, even with multiple worlds if your not actively looking youll probably miss some good stuff

Alright... First, You get random stats on your starter gear when you first start a Character in Terraria only, Not when switching worlds. Second, Gear does NOT get better when fought with to kill enemies, only when either you make a new Gear item like a pickaxe, sword, axe, or hammer... OR you REFORGE the item to better stats. You can unlock the reforging feature once you have aquired the Goblin engineer. The Reforging of items costs a random amount of copper, silver, gold or platinum based on the item... I.E. a Copper pick will cost significantly less to reforge than a Iron pick. I suggest you wait till you aquire something stronger maybe from a dungeon chest like Muramasa... or the Dark Lance. Good Luck and get ready for 1.2!

Reforging costs aren't random at all. It's a specific set cost dependant upon the item and its current enchantment.

Ditto. I remember pretty much everything in the game though because i've played it for ~250 hours total and I absolutely love the game. =]

The gamepedia page helps too...

From what I have heard reforging cost 3 time the sell price of a item.

depends on what the item currently has, if its a crap weapon then it cheap to reforge, if its even close to legendary then yeah it will be expensive
