Unlike the Silver Sword and Warding Shield, the warding sword needs no smithing template, only an iron sword and a nazar. Enchantments already on the iron sword are kept: the sword's warding is stored on the result and merged with the old enchantments once it enters the inventory (see intrinsic enchantments).[1][2]

Usage

Weapon

The warding sword deals 5 (Heart × 2.5) of damage with an attack speed of 1.6 and has 500 durability.[3]

Warding

Held in either hand, the sword gives Warding 1: every second it gives undead within 8 blocks Slowness II and deals 1 (Half heart × 0.5) of armor-ignoring damage to the nearest one within 3 blocks. It never damages the Wither on its own.[4] Its warding adds to the warding of the item in the other hand, up to Warding 3: with a Nazar or a second Warding 2 item in the off hand the player has Warding 3, and with a Warding Shield Warding 2. See Warding.

Because warding is exclusive with other weapon intrinsics, a warding sword can't also carry a shakudo or adamant weapon intrinsic.

Repairing

The warding sword can only be repaired with a Nazar or a block of lapis lazuli.

Advancements

Smithing the warding sword grants Fae-Slayer ("Affix a Nazar to an Iron Sword in a Smithing Table") in the Tutorial tab. It follows Apotropaic Jewellery and leads to Sabbatarian.[5]
