===== HV+ =====
Shadow Metal, Energetic Alloy, Vibrant Alloy, or most GT metals work.
Energetic 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. Later on you can make a [[Vajra]] which essentially acts as all tools plus GT tools in one and insta-mines blocks.
Later on you can make a [[Vajra]], which acts as all tools plus GT tools with silk touch in one and insta-mines blocks.

InThe general,head it'sshould goodbe toeasily aimrepairable. forThe ahead and large materialplates thatshould givesgive a good mix of durability and mining speed while being easily repairable. Higher mining speed also increases the tool experience required to level exponentially, so be careful when upgrading especially when you are close to the next tool level.
For the Lumberaxe and Excavators, it is recommended to start out ofwith Netherrack heads for ease of repairing, asslower theymining arespeed incrediblyfor easyeasier to level upleveling, and Wood/Dirt/Sand haslack noof miningharvesting level.

===== Steam =====
* Head: Alumite > Bronze (ifwhatever you can afford steel/aluminum, this is not necessarily the best) orafford Bronze (common,to preferredrepair)
* Large Plates: Alumite > Bronze > Iron
* Tool Rod: Alumite/Steel > Bronze > Iron
===== LV =====
* Head: Alumite/ > Bronze
* Large Plates: Alumite, > Bronze > Iron
* Tool Rod: Alumite/Steel > Bronze > Iron
===== MV =====
* Head: Perditio (fast, fragile, easy repair), Vanadiumsteel (moderate speed, good durability, difficult repair), Manasteel (slow speed, high durability, easy repair)
* Head: Cobalt, Vanadiumsteel (post MV Extruder)
* Large Plates: You can use eitherPerditio, Vanadiumsteel, (good balance of durability/mining speed) or Perditio (very low durability but high mining speed)Manasteel
* Tool Rod: Manasteel > Damascus Steel > Vanadiumsteel > Aeon Steel
===== After thatHV+ =====
Switch to MV+ auto miners.
You should be switching to at least MV+ miners, which will do the mining for you without user input. At that point, you'll be using your hammer mostly for base building.
