The Anchor is a heavy melee weapon. To build one, gather iron and combine it at a crafting table into the Anchor. Once you have it, hold it in your main hand and swing at mobs — it hits hard but swings slowly, so time your attacks between enemy cooldowns.

Upgrading to the Encrusted Anchor

Combine your Anchor with additional materials at a crafting table to produce the Encrusted Anchor. This upgraded version keeps the heavy hit but adds more damage per swing. Use it against tanky mobs where a single big hit matters more than fast chip damage.

Practical Use

Pair the Anchor with Boots of Swiftness or Dark Boots to offset the slow swing with better positioning.
Against groups, let mobs bunch up, then land one swing to hit several at once.
If you also carry a Dagger or Cutlass, swap to the fast weapon for cleanup after the Anchor's heavy hit.
The Encrusted Anchor is worth the extra materials once you are fighting armored or high-health enemies regularly.

Keep a spare Anchor in a chest near your base in case you die far from spawn — the materials to remake it are common enough that losing one is not a disaster.
