Description

Found this in HCNL earlier today. If upgraded to
Phase Blade
, does it have any value?

It does seem to add a ton of raw damage.

Can be used to make Runewords:

I am not sure but you need a
Zod
to make it work, idk if its useful
7
If upgraded to pb, then it will become indest while being
Eth
.

The only thing good coming from this sword is the massive ar. Otherwise if you dont need the ar, probably other unique swords or cheap sword rw might be a better choice

Can trade on PC or SWITCH

OP
Thanks guys. I will create a trade and see how it goes. :)

@Pitach, like said above,
Phase Blade
is indestructible by design. You can get powerful PBs by upgrading them from Ethereal Crystal Swords or Dimensional Blades.

PB can not be ethereal, it will "lose" it if upgraded.

@Tornado_OLO , I think they can't spawn ethereal, but it keeps the ethereal status if upgraded to PB? I am not sure as I've never seen one before.

No, it wont.
Your
Blade
has no trade value.

OP
Well, since I never tried doing that, I am relying on information available on the internet, but the post I mentioned above and also the one below seems to agree on
Eth
PB:

Still, I don't think the mods are good enough. Maybe if this had a socket and Life Leech...

What is happening in this thread? It will stay ethereal if you up it to a
Phase Blade
. 100%

This is true.

False - it will retain ethereal status when upgraded.
Have you actually tried it, or why are you spreading misinformation?

And yes, I just did this to prove it. Didn't have a rare one laying about. I can show you the ethereal
Phase Blade
Ginther's Rift
if you want in-game if you still don't believe.

Fair enough, everyone can be mistaken :) Sorry if I came off a bit harsh.

This is one of the little oddities in the game and probably not intended behavior (that would be my guess anyway), since they can't actually drop as ethereal. There aren't any other items that are inherently indestructible in a higher tier form so probably just something that was overlooked and never deemed important enough to fix. But I don't actually know, of course.

Anyway, if we're done discussing the possibility of ethereal phase blades, like others have said before, the OP's sword is not of any value - it needs better affixes :)

OP
Thank you @ShadowHeart for trying it out!

Yeah, other than the raw max dmg and AR, it does look a bit weak. I will toss it away.
7
This actually intrigued me since I always heard it worked but never tested it.
I just used Hero Editor to make a fake Rare
Crystal Sword
. Ignore the values since they are bogus but:

Eth
Crystal Sword
Eth
Dimensional Blade
Eth
Phase Blade
with no durability So it does work.
7
Its always been like this since the dawn of time :)

hence if you could find a nice rare 2 socket with good mods for cs or
Dimensional Blade
, its value would worth beyond any affordability if upgraded to pb.

Can trade on PC or SWITCH

OP
Funny thing that both
Dimensional Blade
and
Phase Blade
have the same max dmg. Obviously the attack speed of PB can't be matched.

And
Phase Blade
really shouldn't say "Very Fast Attack Speed", they should have come up with something else specifically for this weapon's high speed - "Extremely Fast Attack Speed", "Faster Than Lucky Luke", "Gotta Go Faster"... :P
