Orichalcum Ore
110%
Orichalcum Ore is a magenta-colored Hardmode Ore which can replace Mythril Ore in a given world. It requires a Pickaxe power of 110% to mine (Cobalt/Palladium Pickaxe or better, or any Drill). Like most Hardmode Ores, Orichalcum Ore is generated upon destruction of a Demon/Crimson Altar with a Pwnhammer or any better hammer.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In real life, orichalcum is a legendary metal described by Plato in his work Critias to have been mined in the lost city of Atlantis. It is suspected to have been a sort of alloy involving copper.
- While the in-game color is magenta, orichalcum is speculated to be a more reddish hue.
- It likely was made this color to avoid confusion with Palladium Ore.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- Selling the ore rather than the bar yields 8
more per 4 orichalcum ore.
