Vote: What is your favourite Weapon in DST

[Retrolicious]

I wanna hear opinions what are the most favoured weapons in DST and why.

My personal preference is the ham bat(). Its easy to craft and i love having pig villages near my bases. So whenever i need a i simply feed 4 monster meat to any nearby pig turn them into a werepig and then im able to instantly craft an never ending op weapon. Yes the downside is on the last red spoiling day it might do less damage then a spear, but overall its so easy to recraft usually i just throw away red or yellow spoiled and make new ones.

I know in theory the dark sword is the strongest melee weapon, but i really hate the sanity drain it does and it got only limited durability and is kinda "costy". Considering that you constantly have to farm treeguards for those living logs.

Also im curious what people think about the brand new weapons the bat bat and the tail o' three cats. Bat bat is nice when you need healing for its leech ability, but kinda really hard to farm since bats drop wings so rarely and wings spoil kinda fast D:
I never tried tail o'three cats so i cant comment on that one

Have fun discussing

Dark Sword. I don't care about sanity drain. It's strong and easy to make and that's what's important.
For spring I'd always make Morning Star. It does the most damage to wet enemies and it looks cool.
And if that can be considered as a weapon, Ice Staff. I can't explain why I like it.

I agree morning star is a super cool weapon too. Also doesnt have conventional durability so thats a plus. But i tend to not make them often since i find hunting or finding goats hard sometimes. Really sometimes it feels you start a world and can explore for like 20 days and still dont find goats :(

Did you try out morning stars in dripping caves or ruins ? In winter its dripping in the caves, but i dont know if thats considered rain and if morning stars do max damage then D:

Darts. I try to make it a priority to get a bird cage, and as soon as Winter starts capture a bird for Azure feathers. (I've been using a mod that causes caged birds to drop the occasional feather. It feels appropriate, which anyone who's ever owned a bird would probably agree with, and can be set to a pretty low drop rate making it not overpowering or too easy.) After that it's just a question of finding reeds, and stocking up on hound's teeth. Blow Darts are fantastic for getting the attention of bosses, and whittling down their health without much risk of getting hit yourself.

I don't say it's the best weapon, only that it's my favorite.

The Ice staff might be a close second. Very easy to freeze things, but since they unfreeze very quickly I don't use it as a weapon, per se, but more as a way to buy a little time.

The weapon I use most often is probably the Tentacle Spike. Free, easy to acquire pretty early in-game, and does decent damage. Hambats are great, too, and I'll use them when I have the resources to spare, but most of the time the worlds I'm in end up drowning in Tentacle Spikes anyway, so I may as well use them. We've currently got an entire Storm Cellar full of them, plus a few in Chester, plus several more lying around in strategic locations.

This is a rare one, but my uncontested favorite weapon has gotta be the Boomerang. It is, tragically, ruined in don't starve together because of the scaled health, but in the normal game it instakills rabbits and birds which is fantastic for stocking up on small jerky or crockpot ingredients. Since it doesn't do that in DST though, probably the tentacle spike. Looks radical, hits like a truck, relatively easy to acquire.

currently seems a tie between , tentacle , and ice staff

@joki
also i dont consider blow darts a default weapon, since you admitted yourself you needed cheats to use it on a regular basis. i save up darts whenever i find them from mctusk for the occasional deerclops darting, but thats it. they simply arent reliable. even sleep darts are more reliable than fire or blow darts, because crows can be farmed every season 24/7 ...

Um, no, you don't "need cheats to use it on a regular basis". You need feathers, which are pretty easily gotten via trapping birds whapping 'em with a boomerang or even better wickerbottom's book, and you need stingers or charcoal or teeth, all of which are also easily farmed. Then reeds, and that's it. No one needs any mod, or what you seem to wish to call a "cheat", and it's fine that you wanna call it that but if Klei hadn't intended for us to "cheat" they'd never have offered options to turn off bosses, or frog rain, or implemented a workshop in the first place, yeah?

[Retrolicious]

any more interested votes ? im still curious what people tend to use the most.
also what do people think of the new weapons bat bat and that tail o' three cats.
also what do endgame experience people think of the thulecite club ? is it really worth making ? so far of all the thulecite armor / weapons the crown seems the coolest because of the shield ?

The Bat Bat requires too much time and resource investment for too little return, in my opinion. I never bother with them.

We made a Tail, but have yet to use it since I don't know if the beefalo taming is fully implemented yet. I understand it can "crit" on other mobs, but nearly every mob in the game is already too easy to deal with anyway. I can't see using it on hounds or the like, and for bosses it seems kind of pointless, since if you "reset" their aggro it's simply going to re-target on you as soon as you do more damage anyway. Once the beefalo taming/riding is fully complete I'll try it out with them, I guess.

I don't bother with the thulecite club, since as you say I feel like the armor/crown are a better return on the limited amount of thulecite available in the world. I'm even leaning toward not bothering with the armor, because the sanity gain isn't that useful to me while the crown's immunity is a godsend against bigger bosses like the Guardian, etc.

Honestly I feel like there's just not enough to do, endgame. Once you've reached a few hundred days you have to find ways to challenge yourself, because none of the mobs save Dragonfly presents a challenge anymore. Luckily there are all those options to increase their numbers, but even then it gets boring dealing with the same old things. Maybe I'm just getting burned out on the game overall, though.

Bat bat isn't new? Errr I guess it's only been in DST a few months.

Weather pain seems fun but is so hard to use.

It feels like a very niche item, whose main use is hurling it into groups of Volt Goats to charge them.

[RangedSpider]

I also like the morning star. Super helpful in spring and caves.

I believe so, but don't quote me on it. Go find a group of them when it's raining and send the Weather Pain their way. It's possible I'm confusing it with the other item, but that's what I remember doing the last time I bothered trying to farm for milk.
