Defier's Thorn

Quickstart

  1. Craft Defier’s Thorn using the recipe below. Its recipe is unlocked in your recipe book when you join the world.
  2. Hold the sword in your main hand or offhand. Hold right-click to charge a water orb, then release to fire it; charging longer makes the shot stronger. Try it on a hostile mob.
  3. Defeat enemies you’ve damaged with the Thorn to earn Abyssal Essence and level up.
  4. Open Thorn Mastery with P, or sneak and right-click while holding the sword. Spend attribute and skill points there.

Overview

Defier’s Thorn is an unbreakable sword that grows stronger as you fight. Its mastery screen tracks your level, essence, kills, combat stats, abilities, and evolution. The progress HUD appears while you hold it.

What It Adds

  • Abyssal Essence and levels: Eligible kills grant essence; tougher enemies are worth more. Levels provide points for improving attributes and abilities.
  • Five mastery branches: 25 abilities covering offense, survival, movement, ice, and powerful water attacks.
  • Five evolving forms: Dormant, Awakening, Azure, Abyssal, Celestial, and Sovereign.
  • Water effects: Charged orbs, ability attacks, and watery visuals.

How To Use

  • Charge an orb: Hold right-click with the sword, then release. A charged hit can also splash nearby enemies.
  • Open mastery: Press P while holding the sword, or sneak and right-click with it.
  • Equip and cast abilities: In the mastery screen, use the left and right arrows to change each of the five equipped slots. Cast with that slot’s key or its CAST button. A skill must be unlocked and ranked to use it; the screen shows its cooldown.
  • Inspect the sword: Press F6 while holding it.
  • Enchant it: An anvil can apply enchantments to the Thorn, including enchantments that normally conflict with one another.

Crafting And Obtaining

The recipe is automatically unlocked when you join a world.

Progression And Strategy

  • Each level grants 3 attribute points. Every fifth level grants 1 skill point.
  • Abilities unlock at sword levels 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 in each branch. Unlocking or increasing a skill’s rank costs a skill point; skills can reach rank 5. To progress to the next skill in a branch, raise the previous one to rank 3.
  • The mastery screen’s Attributes tab lets you invest points in Strength, Attack Speed, Lifesteal, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Movement Speed, Ability Power, Cooldown Reduction, Defense, and Essence Acquisition. It shows the effects of each point; holding left mouse or Shift over + quickly adds points.
  • The sword evolves at levels 3, 10, 20, 40, and 75, reaching Sovereign at 75. Its appearance changes with its form, and its progression continues beyond that milestone.
  • Equip the Thorn and use it to damage enemies you intend to finish: kills grant essence when the player is credited with the kill. Hostile mobs and high-health enemies are especially worthwhile targets.
