The Purple Phaseblade is assembled at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil by pairing 15 Meteorite Bar ingots with 15 Amethyst gems. Hitting for 26 base melee damage, it swings with a Very fast speed of 18 ticks while shedding a soft violet glow. Because amethysts generate in abundance across shallow cavern strata, it is often the quickest phaseblade to craft for new adventurers.
Early meteor melee standing and Hardmode conversion
The Purple Phaseblade grants early explorers a substantial step up from starter ore broadswords, keeping zombie swarms and flying eyes at bay. Its wide slash and built-in light make spelunking safer without requiring torch placement on every platform. Because it swings reliably and casts light, it reduces torch consumption while searching for underground life crystals. In Hardmode, players can bring this weapon alongside 25 Crystal Shard clusters to an anvil to construct the Purple Phasesaber. Reforging for the Legendary modifier yields the best possible bonuses to attack speed, damage, and knockback.
Trivia
Because Amethyst is the most common cavern gem, the Purple Phaseblade is frequently the first phaseblade crafted in a playthrough.
