Standard anvil smithing and early Hardmode reach
Crafted with 10 Palladium Bars at a common Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Palladium Sword offers an immediate melee upgrade upon smashing altars in early Hardmode. Unlike higher-tier weapons that demand specialized workstations, this blade can be forged without an advanced anvil, giving warriors instant access to native autoswing and a steady 22 attack speed right after world conversion.
Cobalt comparison and legendary enhancement
Boasting 49 base melee damage, the sword significantly outperforms the Cobalt Sword in base striking force, cleanly dispensing with standard cavern zombies and armored skeletons. Its lack of projectile utility means it is best suited for ground skirmishes rather than boss fights. As players explore deeper to uncover mythril, orichalcum, and adamantite, it is swiftly superseded. Reforging to Legendary yields the finest balance of damage, attack speed, knockback, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- The Palladium Sword can be manufactured at an ordinary pre-Hardmode iron anvil, saving players from crafting an advanced anvil first.
- Its warm orange coloration complements the set aesthetic of palladium armor sets.
