| Ebonwood Sword | 7 × Ebonwood | Work Bench |
Corruption harvesting and high-impact purple timber
Crafted at a Work Bench with 7 Ebonwood gathered from Corrupt biomes. The sword inflicts 11 base melee damage with a 6 knockback rating, swinging at Very fast velocity with a 19 animation duration. The broad swinging arc easily deflects diving Eater of Souls and knocks back approaching zombies during surface nighttime travels, giving early melee users a substantial defensive envelope.
Early metal weapon rivalry and reforge bonuses
Delivering 11 base damage, this blade matches the Iron Broadsword and surpasses both copper and tin broadswords without requiring any metal smelting or an anvil. Harvesting a few trees in the Corruption allows quick acquisition of reliable melee gear on the very first day. It is surpassed in wood tiers only by the Ash Wood Sword. The premier modifier is Legendary, which maximizes damage, attack speed, and knockback impact.
Trivia
- The Ebonwood Sword was one of the earliest alternate wood weapons introduced when unique biome trees were added.
- Cutting down corrupt trees with a basic axe yields enough timber to craft this blade in seconds.
