Tungsten Bars are a type of bar crafted using 4 Tungsten Ore at a Furnace, and are used to make Tungsten-themed items.

Tungsten-tier equipment, like most other alternative metals with the exception of Tin in some cases, is slightly better than its counterpart Silver. This makes it a bit more valuable in terms of helping the player survive, explore, and build.

Crafting all Tungsten equipment, including the Watch and Chandelier, requires 151 bars, or a total of 604 ore. Without the Watch and Chandelier, 137 bars or 548 ore will be required.

Tips

• Compared to its ore counterpart, Silver, having Tungsten in a world may be more favorable to magic weapon users. A Tungsten Pickaxe can mine Meteorite, while a Silver Pickaxe cannot. Meteor armor gives buffs to magic damage.
• Tungsten armor sometimes can be better compared to Gold or Platinum due to the fact that it is a lot more common and only loses 1 defense to Gold Armor and 5 defense to Platinum Armor

Trivia

• The word tungsten is made out of the Swedish and Danish words tung ("heavy") and sten ("stone").
• In reality, tungsten is extremely difficult to work due to its hardness; it has one of the highest melting points of the elements. It also is used in the filament for light bulbs due to its heat resistance.
  • Furthermore, real-life tungsten is actually a white metal, not green.
