Topaz Forging

For people that forge Topaz shovels/hammers for lower tier worlds, what are the damage level cutoffs you need to one-shot soils/mud/ash on those worlds? I’d like to make some Topaz forged gear to sell and want to keep it as cheap as possible while still being useful. Thanks for the help.

If not mistaken, I think for up to T3 worlds you want 1300 damage minimum for hammers, and 1900(?) minimum for axes. Not sure where you should aim for shovels.

Edit: If I was grabbing a lot of Topaz, personally, I’d change it to Sapphire instead since that way you’ll have to fight less against getting the damage right in forging. Otherwise I’d possibly just aim to make long-lasting very fast Topaz tools rather than aim for 3x3 with 1 shot.

Base Topaz hits for 1100. And base sapphire for 1300. Here’s HP values on each planet tier

First subtract out armor from the tool’s dmg, then compare to hard health for rocks, trunks, etc. and soft health for sand, foliage, etc.
