Dark Sword no diffrent then tentacle spike?

[starvin_marvin]

Has anyone else noticed that the dark sword is almost identical to a tenticle spike if anything the spike is better as it doesn't effect your sanity while its in your hand. Maybe im missing somthing but I have killed tons of crawlers an terrorbeaks or watever there called but. I don't see what the dark sword does is there any xtra damage? I notice it kills beefalo in the exact same amount of hits as the spike also what I did notice is after killing a crawler it dropped 2 nightmare fuel instead of one I thought it had something to do with the sword or is it possible that the crawlers can drop 2 fuel sometimes? I think they should always spawn 2 terrorbeaks at same time it makes it so much harder to kite them without real good timing but I know this is not suppoed to be a fighting game anyways I love the update can't wait for winter an the finished product an of course deerclops who im praying takes real strategy to kill. My last question is if anyone out there knows what the diffrence between the dark sword an spike is maybe can answer what's the armor special for? Cause I have made 2 but after I realized the sword does no more damage then the spike I havnt even warn them much. Last thing I noticed a dragon fruit an 3 honey still makes taffy which I thought was a little odd as dragon fruit same much rarer then honey or is it any fruit an honey makes taffy? Like 2 pomegranits an 2 honey that I guess I can figure out on my own just really want to know if the dark sword has some secert im missing

Really? even when I use it against the terrors I don't notice any diffrence then spike both take about 7 hits to kill(ill have to count more closley) I notice the wiki doesn't even say damage it does maybe im just dumb and don't notice but id think id see the diffrence if it was killing them even a 3rd as fast as the spike it def stronger then the spear in my tests against beefalo but terrors I don't notice any diffrence maybe someone out there knows its damage output against terrors an non terrors(though I figured it do the same damage no matter what you strike)

idk then....haven;t make it yet =/

I know it eats sanity that's why so far in my play throughs I feel the spike is better exept the sword looks pretty sick but spike doesn't take away from sanity so teemo an shinysides when your playing an killing terrors with sword you notice it kills them faster? Or you just guessing thanks again cause I really don't see any damage diffrence nothing substantial fursure but maybe im blind or dumb(or both ha)

According to the script it says it deals 1.75x damage, as opposed to the tentacle spike's 1.5x damage (this is going by that spear damage is technically 1x). As far as I can tell I don't see anything stating that it does extra damage to shadow creatures.

Thanks w00ty that makes complete sense as it only does just slightly more then the spike which is why I really think the spike is better as there's no negative to your sanity can you possibly tell me what the script says about the dark armour or night armour(watever its called) thanks again any other terror/shadow hunters out there let me know if you have also realized that the dark sword seems to be same as tentacle spike-Thanks again w00tyd00d
