The War Table is an animated furniture item that is dropped by the Dark Mage during the Old One's Army event. During the last Tier 1 wave, it has a 50*1/2 (50%) / 100*1/1 (100%) chance to drop; during the fourth and sixth Tier 3 waves, it has a 12.5*1/8 (12.5%) / 25*1/4 (25%) chance to drop.

Placing and pressing  Interact on the War Table grants the Strategist buff, which increases the player's sentry capacity by 1. This lasts until the player dies or leaves the world, but can be canceled at any time. This lasts for 0 seconds, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (tModLoader versiontModLoader 1), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (Console version), or by double-tapping the buff icon (Mobile version)..

Unlike equipment buff items, the War Table must be placed in order to activate the buff. It can be mined with a pickaxe or drill and picked up again, even while the buff is active, which will not cancel the buff. Placement is only dependent on an adequate space of 5×4 tiles being available.

Trivia[]

  • The War Table is an item originally from Dungeon Defenders 2, where it is used to select which map to play next.
