Blocks
- Heavy Core
- This dense block can be combined with a Breeze Rod to create the new Mace weapon
Items
Breeze Rod
- An item dropped by the Breeze that can be crafted into 4 Wind Charges, or used with the Heavy Core to craft the Mace
Mace
- The Mace is a new weapon
- Deal additional damage the farther you fall before hitting your target
- Try it out by jumping down toward your target, and hit them before you hit the ground
- Successfully striking a target in this way will negate any damage accumulated from the fall, similar to how a Wind Charge works
- Other entities near the struck enemy will be knocked back by the immense force of the Mace
- Using the Mace will decrease its durability as with other tools and weapons, and can be repaired with Breeze Rods at an anvil
- You can use a Mace in combination with Wind Charges to launch up and deliver devastating smash attacks on their enemies
