Notes[edit | edit source]

This content is transcluded from NPCs/dropnote.Since town NPCs cannot be damaged by players normally, external damage sources must be used to obtain this item. Effective options include traps, lava, Boulders or Rolling Cacti, enemies, Explosive Bunnies, or the Halloween-exclusive Rotten Eggs (in tandem with Frost armor).
The Dye Trader will use this weapon when defending himself.
Formerly stronger than the Muramasa, it still functions as a decent sword pre-Dungeon.
