| Ebonwood Hammer | 8 × Ebonwood | Work Bench |
Corrupt forest logging and early bench crafting
The Ebonwood Hammer requires 8 Ebonwood harvested from purple trees across the Corruption, assembled at a standard Work Bench. Providing 40% hammer power and 7 base melee damage with use time 30, it offers a substantial step up from the common Wooden Hammer (25% power) without demanding any metal ingots or anvil access. Its wide swing also allows users to swat away encroaching Eater of Souls pests.
Power comparisons against early metal hammers
With 40% hammer power, this tool equals the hammer strength of the Shadewood Hammer and the forged Iron Hammer. Its use time of 30 allows swift block beveling, slope formation, and background wall stripping. Players exploring corrupt chasms early can chop surface trees to obtain an anvil-free tool that rivals tier-two metal equipment, benefiting further from the Light modifier for maximum swing cadence.
Trivia
- Crafted using 8 Ebonwood chopped from trees in the Corruption.
