Ebonwood Breastplate

Corrupted timber carpentry and superior wooden protection

Crafted at a Work Bench using 30 Ebonwood logs, the Ebonwood Breastplate grants 2 defense to the wearer. Pairing this dark tunic with the matching Ebonwood Helmet and Ebonwood Greaves provides 4 base defense, while activating a set bonus that adds +1 defense for an overall total of 5 defense.

Day one corruption excursions and metal armor parity

Unlike standard surface woods that grant only 1 defense per chestpiece, the Ebonwood Breastplate delivers 2 defense on its own. Reaching 5 total defense with the full set matches the mitigation of full Copper Helmet gear without smelting ores or locating an anvil. Daring players who dash into the Corruption with a basic axe can fell purple trees quickly, securing defensive superiority over forest Wood Breastplate users.

Trivia

• Provides 2 defense independently, making it twice as protective as a regular wood tunic.
