| Palm Wood Sword | 7 × Palm Wood | Work Bench |
Oasis lumber slashing and beach perimeter defense
Crafted from 7 Palm Wood at a Work Bench. Chopping palm trees found along ocean coastlines or desert oases yields the necessary timber. The broadsword delivers 8 base melee damage with 6 knockback at a Very fast pace, using a 19 animation cycle. Its upward swing arc easily intercepts jumping sand slimes and flying vultures before they can hit the player.
Wood broadsword parity and reforge enhancements
This weapon shares its 8 base damage with the Boreal Wood Sword and Rich Mahogany Sword, but swings slightly faster than boreal wood. It provides a reliable alternative to the starter copper shortsword for players who travel toward the ocean on day one. As subterranean exploration begins, players will want to upgrade to an Iron Broadsword or Cactus Sword. Legendary is the optimal modifier, boosting damage, speed, size, and knockback.
Trivia
- Unlike standard wood swords, Palm Wood weapons feature a warm golden-yellow tropical wood texture.
- Palm trees drop palm acorns that can be replanted on pure sand, pearlsand, or crimson sand.
