Terraria: Broken Golden Pickaxe [duplicate]

When I crafted a golden pickaxe to mine some Crimtane ore down in a dungeon right under my house.
I went on a mining trip to get gold. (Also, I haven't found the merchant yet.. I've searched a lot..) Anyway, I crafted my pickaxe and I get Broken Gold Pickaxe.. And I dont know why its broken or not.. I'm confused.

How Do I fix the broken part of my golden pickaxe?

Best Answer

Your "Broken" pickaxe is just a regular Gold Pickaxe, with a prefix. It is (in every way) still functional. It just has a modifier called "Broken".

According to the Terraria Wiki, the Broken modifier does the following:

-30% Damage
-20% Knockback

This means that swinging your pickaxe will deal 30% less damage and 20% less knockback to enemies, when contrasted with a non-prefixed Gold Pickaxe.

As for "fixing" your Pickaxe (even though it theorically isn't fixing) - There are only two possible solutions to that.

Craft another Gold Pickaxe.
Modifiers are applied randomly when a new tool is made. There is also a chance that it has no modifiers. It was just that when you crafted your initial Gold Pickaxe, you were unlucky to get that modifier.
Reforge it (using coins) by paying the Goblin Tinkerer to do so.
Although you'll be guarenteed to be given another prefix/modifier, it may not be a positive one.
