Head: Cobalt, Vanadiumsteel (post MV Extruder). Tool Rod: Alumite/Steel > Bronze > Iron. Large Plates: Alumite (high durability), iron (worst durability for faster leveling). Head: Alumite (if you can afford steel/aluminum) or Bronze (common). When you get a MV Extruder, you can slap on Perditio Large Plates for faster mining/lowest durability. You can quickly max your Lumberaxe by chopping in forests, and you can replace the tool parts with ease. This allows you to speed-level your tools extremely quickly, using either Haste or Reinforced modifiers to level/use longer faster. However, since dirt/sand or logs have no mining level, it is a common strategy to build your initial Excavator/Lumberaxes solely out of Netherrack, using the minimal least durability. If you would prefer to not repair too much (aka use the highest durability) then you can just use the best material for your tier, at the cost of leveling it slower.įor Lumberaxes and Excavators, you can use the same materials as the Hammer, as mining speed/durability of a mix tends to be important here. Early game you can take advantage of this by using worse large plates with a decent head, minimizing the experience needed to level up your hammer (more durability on the tool will have higher experience requirements to level). 
Which large plates and head you use are very important, as they all impact your Hammer's durability and mining speed (i.e using large plates with worse mining speed will lower your actual hammer's mining speed likewise with durability).
Hammers should be rushed ASAP as it will greatly speed up your mining. Later on you can make a Vajra which essentially acts as all tools plus GT tools in one and insta-mines blocks.
Reinforced Tool Rod (The metal "Reinforced Ingot", requires an implosion compressor or luck from loot bags) > Damascus Steel > Vanadiumsteel, or stick with ThaumiumĮnergetic Alloy, Vibrant Alloy, or most other GT metals are good upgrades for later on, but by then you will be using the tools exclusively for base building. Cobalt Head, Vanadiumsteel (post MV extruder). If you don't care about durability, you can use Thaumium for the extra modifier (does not stack with Thaumium binding). Tool Rod: Slime Crystal > Alumite/Steel > Bronze. Paper/Thaumium parts are made in the part builder) Binding: Any (Paper or Thaumium add an extra modifier, which is given as a quest reward also. Tool Rod: Slime Crystal (requires an Alloy Smelter, slime - find that island!) > Bronze. Binding: Any (Any material you want, this only adds the trait and has NO other effect). You can more or less follow similarly with shovels/axes, as only speed/durability matter here. General rule of thumb for pickaxes is to use the head with the best mining level you can get.
