Ethereal Crystal Sword value

ChristianKiss · 2025-10-01T07:04:57-07:00

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.

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"...

No, they should show numeric values instead of descriptive ones. The latter differ between classes.

Yeah, I agree, it should show the WSM in parentheses/brackets or something. I was mostly joking with my post though, as you probably know

Kill The Smith in Act1 Hell go to Charsi give her the Horadric Malus find an ethereal Dimensional Blade imbue this and receive anything with 300%+ Damage. Open Horadric Cube and Upgrade Dimensional to a Phase Blade.
Question regarding this is: Does an ethereal Phase Blade have any difference to a non ethereal one?

Yes, it has the +50% base damage bonus from being ethereal, like any other ethereal weapon. A regular Phase Blade has 31-35 base damage, but an ethereal one has 46-52 base damage. You can see this by looking at the screenshots on page 1 (you just need to manually multiply the ethereal base damage with the ED% on the weapons in the screenshots).

Always pick up yellow crystal swords and dimensional blades, if only to check ethereal status (I do with inventory open just to check for translucency). You never know!
