Is the Mining Helmet worth it in Terraria?
In Terraria on console, the merchant can sell you the Mining Helmet for 8 gold. Is it worth farming gold to obtain the helmet, considering my primary objective is to farm ore?
Or is there a more suitable/efficient method to keep me illuminated/safe while I mine?
Best Answer
Well yes and no. Yes because you won't need to waste your wood and gel, but no because it will only glow if equipped, and armor in the vanity slots does nothing. So have good weapons or an escape route, because if you don't, then no - it is a waste of gold.

Answer 2
Yes, the mining helmet helps a lot. Go to the ice biome after and kill undead miners. Their clothes and helmet give a great mining speed buffs. I use these with shroomite digging claws when I go mining and it saves a ton of time.
Answer 3
Lighting is and has always been one of the biggest things you're worried about when mining, needless to say, a mining helmet would be extremely useful. BUT, due to the mining helmet actually being really useful in lightning, the defence of it is the same of a wood helmet, absolutely awful. I wouldn't recommend using a mining helmet, after finding new ores or beating the second boss in the game you'll outmatch its defense by tons (and defense is probably the most important stat of the game in general), so no, if you do buy it you'll switch it out after an hour or two of playtime anyways.
