Hallowed timber construction and hardmode hammer power
The Pearlwood Hammer is crafted at a Work Bench from 8 Pearlwood harvested from prismatic trees in The Hallow during Hardmode. Supplying 55% hammer power, 10 base melee damage, and an agile use time of 29, it offers the highest hammer rating among wooden implements, matching the raw power of the pre-Hardmode The Breaker and Flesh Grinder. It also delivers 5.5 knockback to fend off Pixies while working outdoors.
Altar immunity and domestic demolition utility
Despite boasting 55% hammer power, this mallet cannot smash Demon Altars or Crimson Altars, as altar destruction specifically requires the Pwnhammer or higher boss-tier hammers. Striking an altar with it simply causes player recoil damage. Nevertheless, its fast swing speed of 29 and negligible crafting cost make it a practical tool for stripping walls, modifying platforms, and remodeling hardmode bases without consuming precious metal bars.
