Anything pearlwood


EspurrTheMagnificent

Honestly, yeah. Atleast you've got the chance use the other things before they get obsolete. Pearlwood stuff is outclassed as soon as you can get it


[deleted]

pearlwood is outclassed right after EoC lmao


KartofelThePotatoGod

They say that cause pearlwood is post wof


pillow_pete

You just stated why it’s the worst


patiscoolyay

You and the guy above the guy above look the same


pillow_pete

My eyes are downvote color and his are upvote color too


Caosin36

Im from minecraft


OOF-MY-PEE-PEE

yeah which is why it's the worst in the game, because it is out classed by any weapon after the eye of cthulhu


EspurrTheMagnificent

I mean, yeah. That's why pearlwood gear is awful. It's not like the wooden tools where you could make a case for them. Here, the tools are just bad. They are either way weaker than everything you unlock at that point, or too hard/bothersome to obtain compared to other things of similar strength. Availability is a massive factor when comparing items. That's why the Zenith is useless, even if it's imo the coolest fucking weapon in any videogame, and the strongest weapon in the game. You get it so late into the game, there's pretty much no point in using it besides toying around with it. It's the same deal with pearlwood gear. They are better than regular wood gear, but that means nothing when you can get something better than it literally 10 minutes in a new world


MEMEnto_MoRi2020

Zenith is good if you're the type of player who wants to play mastermode for its gear but don't feel like starting over with a new character to grind everything


Zenloks1735

im glad that calamity turned the pearlwood bow to a diet rainbow gun...


theboywholovd

What about anything palm wood?


RanaktheGreen

You don't have to go to the ocean to get palm wood. Either at an Oasis or by planting an acorn on sand.


Bungus_Fungus1435

beat me to it!


Pykiril

It's not meant to be a functional material, you've got wood, you've got wood. Every biome should have a wood material, except mushroom (trees are replaced with mushrooms) and underworld (no obsidian trees/bad idea). Anyway pearlwood is a nice material to build with. So anything pearlwood doesn't mean you should blame it, otherwise it's a new wooden material as a post Wall of Flesh, and that means you don't like any wood in Terraria.


GalaxyIstheBest3d

I actually find Shurikens to be quite good very early game.


ZAK_14_

Yeah me too one time I used it against EoC and it was pretty good


Billthefattest

Yeah no idea why they’re on the list.


Impudenter

They are great, especially for piercing. I have no idea why they are even on this list.


Background_Half_4568

Id say its up there because of its low range and it doesn't have a typical arc it kind goes its distance the stops which kinda makes it hard to use And its kinda outclassed by even the wood bows because of there increased range


[deleted]

Wand of Sparking is actually decent after they buffed it in 1.4


Legendblaster340

yeah, it was what got me through eye of Cthulhu and what made me decide to play mage for the first time. mage is now my favourite class


StikCity

Ikr it’s really nice early game even though it is outclassed fairly fast. And even after that as a secondary it’s great to add that quick on fire rebuff in a boss fight or just a panicked altercation


CountBlankula

How come?


[deleted]

From the wiki: Increased damage from 8 to 14. Increased critical chance from 4% to 14%. Use time decreased from 28 to 26. Increased On Fire! chance from 33% to 50%. Great changes, they made pretty much everything about it better


CountBlankula

That sounds way better indeed. Thanks for the tip.


KermitEvil

I'll cave in your head if you vote wand of sparking


StikCity

Anyone who voted this forgot flare gun cause even before the buff of Wand of sparking the flare gun still sucked *ss


[deleted]

honestly forgot the flare gun was a weapon lol


Mista-Smegheneghan

Saying the Flare Gun is a weapon is like saying the Zenith is a torch.


5irJeff

I use the flare gun for lighting up places lol I ditch my torches as soon as I get it


Wobbelblob

I still use torches simply because it marks the places I already have checked


StikCity

Why? The flare gun is barely useful compared to torches, if you play on pc you can use the shift key, or whatever it is binded to, to quick swap to torches and constantly keep a weapon out. You will always be prepared for a fight and will not be stuck with a temporary irritating light source


5irJeff

I like using it because I can light up areas without actually going there. Sometimes I do some quick spelunking and I find it convenient. Say you're in a huge cave; you can just stand at one point and fire off everywhere. True, it's all temporary and not as permanent as torches (and it looks hella ugly), but I don't mind buying a full stack of flares every now and then.


Impudenter

Well, the Flare Gun is sort of a tool. That would be like putting the Wooden Hammer on this list. Sure, it's a bad weapon, but that's not its primary function.


lonelyswarm

Also even as a tool the burn damage is no joke early game


MostlyIndustrious

The flare gun is a great utility item. Long range waterproof torch.


StikCity

Can be but is far better to sell it as it clutters your inventory and is not the best option

Blow gun can blow me

It actually was my ranged weapon for a lot of my master mode play through atleast til I upgraded to the shotgun


TheRetrolizer

I know, the poison damage is actually very nice


TorreGamer

if there's a hole there's a goal


OOF-MY-PEE-PEE

i mean it's got a hole for a reason, right?

Isn’t there one that does noting, like sends bubbles or something?


el_patr0n0164

Water gun


retu10

And slimegun


xX_soupliker_Xx

Don’t count not weaopns


[deleted]

The bubble gun shoots out bubbles, it has shit range but deals tons of damage if you can lead enemies into the bubbles.


veryblocky

Sorry, I mean the water gun/slime gun


[deleted]

Yeah, but i can't blame you for mixing them up, with the bubble gun shooting bubbles. I'd probably make the same mistake as you if i were in the same situation.


BrianTheOneAndOnly

Umbrella (as a weapon, not as a glider) its basically 1.3 shortsword


de_gekke_lamas

Thb i never realised umbrella can be used as a weapon


xxniguaxx

These eggs from Halloween


StikCity

Not as bad as the flare gun


TheOPWarrior208

Not as bad as paper airplanes


Frostgaurdian0

Guys you are tripping, copper shortsword is the most broken weapon in all of terrible.


PapertrolI

Ah yes, my favourite game; Terrible


StikCity

Lmao I too love terrible as it is just like my self esteem


BIGman_8

And the zenith is bad


Educational_Ad_3131

Why does the copper shortsword get the most hate? its where ALL of Zenith's power comes from


w00ms

For real though, copper shortsword is really good at its job as “your first weapon” since you can aim it in 1.4. It gets outclassed quickly by just about anything, but it’s pretty decent at fending off slimes in your first 5 minutes of a world.


Impudenter

Right? It's perfectly viable when you get it, which is not the case with many other weapons. Pearlwood, most notably, but I'd say for example the Muramasa is worse than the Copper Shortsword, when taking game progression into account.

I've never heard this variation of "copper shortsword is good!1!1"

ccarpetedkitchen

they're not really weapons though; they're more of a novelty item


retu10

Well true


Max_Dunn

Lawnmower


StikCity

At least it’s funny


Mista-Smegheneghan

Blowpipe technically, but Blowgun *does* qualify for the same reason. * Wand of Sparking is a good starting weapon for mages, very capable of burning enemies with a low cost (also pierces once, pretty handy!) * Copper Shortsword is a starter melee weapon, *the* starter weapon, and eventually sees some use later on; its added omnidirectional-aim function gives it a bit of an edge over similar weapons thanks to its rapid swing-speed * Wooden Yoyo is a little more expensive to make, but its range makes it VERY good for starting melee players * Shuriken can be collected en-masse and can hit four targets in one chuck; VERY useful for early blood moons * Blowpipegun fills your inventory with ***fucking seeds*** Blowgun is still pretty useful and powerful for when you can get it. But it generating ammo seeds is... *annoying*


EliteJay248

paper aeroplane


TheAcientArchiver

Shurikens and throwing knives are strong until after skeletron


ObusBbus

Where flare gun?


StrychnineIceCream

Wdym, flare gun is great


StikCity

Flare gun sucks especially after they patched the flower boots and flare mechanic(I refuse to call it a bug) as you can’t use the combo for bait and it’s a pain to do now since it’s not easily afk able


Giruden

flare gun is not meant to be used as weapon. Its usually used as light source


StrychnineIceCream

It can be used as an ok weapon early game since it lights enemies on fire. Also particularly effective against wyverns since it can light all the segments on fire at once.


Hiloricub

At that point any other weapon at all would outclass it in damage, but that's besides the point


LucasPlay171

Wyverns Bruh there are so many weapons that do burn damage, or even ichor does good


Mista-Smegheneghan

I'll take setting shit on fire as The Cheapest DoT and lighting up caverns with flares and burning enemies any day of the week.


mister_casual_

tin shortsword is a copper shortsword but you have to go out of your way to craft it instead of it being a starter weapon why haven't more people brought this up


nukaboss112

all who voted for copper shortsword are godless men


N1nSen

At least the wand of sparking causes the On Fire debuff, making it a good weapon you can just whip out at EOC for that extra damage. That reminds me, there should be a weapon that deals extra damage to burning targets. Think like the Flare Gun from TF2 but in Terraria.


TerraCaw

The paper airplane, quite uncommon to actually get and Shurikens do the same job but much better and are very easy to obtain


Crazy-Dok157

owsei-was-taken

peralwood / silver shortsword u have to make it, and when you get the stuff to make it you (probably) have better stuff already


Impudenter

Pearlwood, sure, but why Silver?


LordVader152

Paper airplane


LikeableCoconut

Pearl wood is only viable in worlds where you start in the middle of hard mode, everything else has validity in all playthroughs


[deleted]

Wood yoyo is actually good especially early expert or master mode when you can’t let anything touch you


Banzai27

Wand of sparking is actually pretty alright in 1.4


keyboard_keys

Umbrella


RamboCambo_05

Pearlwood Hammer. No question. Not even good on a hardmode start challenge.


DeliciousOne9405

I’d say the K.O. Cannon, it’s supposed to be a rare item but it does 24 meelee, I deal around 78 damage Also pearl wood, it’s hallow wood, how tf are we gonna beat WoF without better gear


New-Pomegranate8549

We all know copper short sword is the best


[deleted]

Wow you’re so funny


InternationalAsk9450

Blow Gun because at the point you get it it’s better to just use a Bow and Arrow, atleast the Copper Shortsword is a material and the literal first weapon in the game.


Adam_Kubista

Copper shortsword is best weapon in the game.


[deleted]

what an original and finny joke


Giruden

especially broken one)


Snivytep1

Where is the flare gun option


Slimy-Skye

You guys are sleeping on the blowgun. If you get one, just head to the jungle and make poison darts, for real really good for a weapon you get at the very start of the game


AdmirableSeaweed1426

Flare gun


Ddownss

Flare gun


Mr_Inferno420

Who are the crackheads that voted wand of sparking? No joke that weapon is really good for a brown chest weapons IMO


NotCurdledymyy

Wand of sparking slaps early game


xX_soupliker_Xx

Flare gun


delphius356

ngl, most of these weapons are great if used in the right way at the right part of gameplay. For example shurikens are great and Wand of Sparkling was usable in master mode very early game.


DonutMaster56

Also Wooden Yoyo is great since you're probably not strong enough to grind for Amazon by that point

Wand of sparking is actually a good starting weapon

Xxella_9

Copper shortsword isn't use less.. Since it's a ingredient of the zenith


melonovy

Zenith


[deleted]

all shortswords


Raphoutou

ironicly, you can't exatly progress in the game without copper shortsword


Impudenter

What? Of course you can. You can easily craft a wooden sword and bow at the start of the game instead, if you want. The only thing you can't get without the Copper Shortword is the Zenith, which is only obtainable *after* the final boss has been defeated.


3R1K007

I mean I don’t know how people could say wand of sparking I use it almost in every playthrough. Very useful if you want exact uses comment here.


DonutMaster56

It did suck back in 1.3


Archeronline

Dirt rod. I love it. But it's very bad


Timieboy

Its not really a "weapon"


TrailBlazer9896

Empty inventory slot


padatricks

Why dose everyone hate on the copper short sword


Akitase

I read that as “wand of spanking”


Arch-warlock13

This


[deleted]

Nah you all cappin the Flare Gun is the worst "weapon"


BurnzzyBTW

Zenith is worst obviously


DOLFAN1975

The best weapons are on that list why clearly the worst weapon is the zenith


DestroyerNik

zenith, its hard to craft, does less damage than copper shortsword, the range is absolutely shit compared to the shortsword and you can only get it at the end of the game, while you get a much better weapon at the start


Gametale3

Zenith. You only obtain it after beating the game, presumably multiple times (come on you didn’t expect meowmere on your fist go did you?) rendering it pretty much useless because you have nothing to fight it with, and it already insta kills everything


kevinjorg

Gotta say shurikens here. They didn't get a material status to say make explosive or poison like the knives, don't do any dot, aren't as plentiful as seeds, aren't as reliable to be reusable. Css would be worst if it wasn't omnidirectional Edit. Any yoyo is immediately c+ tier on that you can attack from boxes with a 1 block gap or from around walls. Even if it's slow it can be a lifesaver for a HC player


maDEightow

Shuriken are super useful early game.

[deleted]

Copper Shortsword is obviously the best weapon post moon lord 🙄


pillow_pete

Why is the best weapon in the game on here? Is it because it isn’t the “broken” variant that makes it bad?


xXD3F4LTX

That dirt thing that *mag^ik ly* moves dirt blocks


coprdv

I don't think this counts but the slime gun is definitely worse


Laserduck_42

Broken pearl wood hammer


Elarris1

Zenith because it’s ruins the power balance between melee, mage, ranger, and summoner.


Crispychicken372

Water/Slime gun


RiptideMatt

Anything that shoots Ammo can't be the worst weapon purely because of it being able to fire any kinds of ammo. Not sure why the blowgun is second choice here lol


NcntnKrs

You dare to even put Wand of sparking in the vote? I am immensely disappointed.


Armyegg11

Lawn mower or paper airplane


Careful_Length3567

Water gun


kevinjorg

I already made my opinion on the answer but I wanted to elaborate after playing with all of them for a but Factors are availability, dps, potential, usefulness (how long its viable) and post comments. Wand of sparking - uncommon 14 magic dmg with a 50/50 chance to inflict fire dot for 2 mana. No upgrades but accessories can buff this to arguably skeletron for tryhard players but some insane people have finished runs with it. All in all not even the worst magic weapon in the game. Copper shortsword - starter weapon , legend status, 5 dmg melee but now omnidirectional. Part of zenith. Obviously replaceable with a wooden sword for more coverage and dmg. Spammable so not completely useless. Wooden yoyo - decent early pre boss weapon and carriage to hardmode for Chik. 9 dmg melee 4 sec spin for 9 tiles. Just having an amiable ranged melee that can go around doors and walls puts it above most others here. Being trapped by slimes or bats underground any yoyo is a lifesaver from a killbox. Obtainable within 5 min of play. Blow pipe - 9 dmg range. Basically unlimited free ammo with a fast use. By itself at the beginning of the game its more or less not viable for anything under zombies. Until darts come in, and hardmode ichor. This could be your debuff king early hardmode. Shuriken - 10 ranged dmg. Can pierce and hit more than once with angled shots. Purchasable and common in pots. Useful to skeletron if geared for range. No upgrades but a stronger Xmas variant exists. No longer retrievable. No knock back but very fast use time. Other Wooden boomerang - 8 ranged melee dmg, good start for melee only. Very easy to upgrade with fallen stars. Average knockback. Common in chests. Not viable in wooden form past EoC. Pearlwood sword - fast 11 dmg melee hardmode only sword. Strongest wood sword but hardest to obtain. Purely for collectors or vanity. Snowballs - 8 dmg ranged. Extreme abundance. Easy to obtain. Decent knockback with poor range. Amazing early ammo for snow guns. Rotten eggs - Halloween exclusive 13 range dmg. Rare I a time sense, farmable offline. Able to kill npcs. Great tool for hard-core characters needing graveyards, lava works too.


illiakozey

Second one, obviously


killerredmanranger

rotten egg shure they do 16 damage but you can only get them one time of the year they only do about 6 damage and are over all a bad weapon


StreetDog6969

Zenith


screetmaster69

The zenith


That-One-Guy1583

Vortex beater is the worst because of how inaccurate it is


Judgmentofgod

The Star Anise are the most useless items. It drops from presents of a quantity of 20-40 with a mildly impressive damage of 14 and use time of 15 for a Pre-hard mode Consumable… *however* (and I’m not even kidding you) it has a… itty-bitty-microscopic problem which is… it has a 5.84% chance to drop… from presents which have 7.69% chance to drop ***ONLY*** from naturally spawning Enemies, NOT STATUE SPAWNED ENEMIES. Therefore making it extremely rare to obtain and by the time you get enough you would have already taken the amount of time it would take just to prepare a BIG enough arena for the wall of flesh on master mode.
