Tips

• New characters might be especially interested in obtaining the Palm Wood Sword, e.g. to upgrade their Copper Shortsword. It should be kept in mind that getting to the Ocean biome can consist of going through Corruption/Crimson or the Jungle biome, making the slight damage increase not worth the dangerous trek for new players.
  • The damage of the Palm Wood Sword is equivalent to that of the following swords: Boreal Wood Sword, Cactus Sword, Copper Broadsword, Iron Shortsword, Rich Mahogany Sword. Obtaining one of these instead may require less effort.
• Once the player has collected some Acorns and sand, they can grow Palm Trees closer to home by planting them in sand. Naturally, Palm Trees only grow at the beach.

Trivia

• The Palm Wood Sword's sprite is very similar to that of the Wooden Sword; however, there are a few changes, the most obvious being that it has a lighter color. Also, the handle is slightly different in that its quillons are horizontal, whereas the Wooden Sword's shorter quillons stand parallel to the blade.
