A player obtaining Hay with a Sickle.

The Sickle is a tool that produces Hay blocks when used to cut tall grass. The collected hay can be used for building purposes, can be crafted into Hay Walls, and can be used to create Target Dummies. It is essentially used to produce an infinite source of building material, as grass is generally always available and re-grows quickly. It can also be used as a melee weapon efficiently during the beginning of the game in order to defeat weaker enemies.

On the  Desktop version and  Console version, the Sickle is purchased from the Merchant for 60  each, however, on the  Old-gen console version,  Mobile version, and  3DS version, it's only available during the Halloween season.

Its best modifier is Light for harvesting purposes, and Legendary for combat purposes.

Tips

• Massive amounts of hay can be created by using the Flower Boots to grow tall grass on a flat surface, then collecting the hay.
• Using the Sickle to cut grass doesn't prevent you from getting seeds for the Blowpipe.
• The sickle can often be bought early in the game, making it a powerful weapon early on.
