Unique Swords
Muramasa

Muramasa is a blue-bladed sword with range equivalent to roughly 5/6 the Blade of Grass' size. It does 22 damage and has the Fast attack speed. Uncharacteristic of swords (and similar to tools,) Muramasa can be swung continuously by holding down the attack key.

Muramasa is thought to be a reference to mythic Japanese swordsmith Muramasa, whose blades were said to be able to possess the user and sap their life.

Muramasa is of quality three.

Muramasa emits a small amount of light upon a swing, comperable to a torch ember. It has a chance of turning enemy projectiles into life when they are deflected. It is found in Dungeon chests.

Blade of Grass The Blade of Grass is a weapon with a large reach equivalent to the Fiery Greatsword. It does 28 damage and has a Slow attack speed.

The Blade of Grass is a random drop from the Hornet, found in an underground jungle. It can also be crafted using a Silver Broadsword, 40 Jungle Roses, and 20 Stingers.

Like the Muramasa, the name is likely a reference to a Japanese sword, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Grass-Cutting Sword). It's the most famous named sword in Japanese historic folklore. However, the name could be a pun on grass itself, as the individual grass strands are called "blades".

Phaseblades
Phaseblades are powerful sword weapons which possess a long reach and inflict 21 damage against foes. When used, it will create a small amount of light comperable to a torch ember.

 * 10 Topazes - Yellow
 * 10 Sapphires - Blue
 * 10 Emeralds - Green
 * 10 Rubies - Red
 * 10 Diamonds - White

Starfury
A rare Magical Sword that comes from Floating Islands. It does 8 direct damage, but releases a flurry of falling stars upon being swung. Three stars fly from the top corner furthest from the mouse cursor, and intersect at the cursors location. Each star deals 14 damage upon striking an enemy (Less against stronger foes). Swinging the sword requires 11 mana and should you not have the required amount you will be unable to swing the sword at all, effectively rendering it useless.

Uses The nature of this weapon is better suited for use outside, away from pits or chasms, as landscape blocks the stars from falling. The stars can be used to attack enemies outside or above from safety, or multiple enemies at once by hovering the cursor over their general location.

Additionally, this weapon is useful while spelunking as it will light cave surroundings slightly, possibly revealing nearby caves.

Fiery Greatsword
The Fiery Greatsword is a hellstone weapon that has a very far reach (perhaps the furthest in the game) and very slow swing speed. It emits light in the form of fire particles when it is swung. These perks can make it useful for scouting caves and scanning for ore through walls as well as killing enemies.



It deals 34 damage, but its very slow swing speed can make it ineffective compared to the other high-tier swords such as Blade of Grass and Muramasa.

It is crafted from 35 Hellstone Bars at an Anvil.
