Emberbane

"An Adurite battleaxe, repurposed to ignite trees with the flame inside of them."
The Emberbane is a double-bladed battleaxe forged from Adurite. It is obtained through completing a puzzle involving multiple separate sidequests.
== Details ==
The Emberbane is obtained by fusing a Meteor Core, an Adurite Key, and a Burning Skull together in a cave behind a secret destructible wall. This axe has the unique ability to strike 2-3 times in a single swing on all types of wood with the notable exception of the following trees: Hallow Trees, Magma Trees, and Ash Trees. While each individual hit is roughly as powerful as those delivered by the Tall Refined Axe, these hits can stack together for a small boost in cutting speed.
The Emberbane also has a special bonus against Magma Trees and Ash Trees. Instead of striking multiple times, the Emberbane gains massively increased power, allowing it to cut Magma Trees in 3-5 swings (a Tall Refined Axe typically takes 16-17 swings) and Ash Trees in 1-2 swings (compared to 4-5 swings from a Tall Refined Axe.)
== Obtaining ==
: Note: It is advised to do this quest on a solo server. When the Emberbane spawns, it doesn't have an owner, which can result in it being stolen.
*Gather the three materials.
** The Meteor Core has a chance to spawn after a meteor crash. It is a glowing orange orb in the center of the impact crater.
** The Adurite Key can be acquired through its related quest.
** The Burning Skull can be acquired by obtaining a Skull from Skull Rock and burning it in the Magma Cave by laying it next to a lava pool. The skull will be renamed "Burning Skull".
With the materials acquired, proceed to the next steps. For people who prefer a video guide, follow along with this YouTube video.
* Acquire two Small Bombs, which can be purchased from Mike's Mines.
* Drive down the path on the same side of the map as Mike's Mines that leads towards the Lighthouse. There is a plateau to the right side with Olive trees and Petrified Oak growing out of it. Ignore the first set of steps leading up to the plateau, and hug the wall of the plateau until you find the second set of steps.
* Scale the second set of steps; the entrance to the Emberbane's crafter will be directly ahead, behind a slightly discolored wall. If it is not daytime, the wall will be very hard to see.
* Use the two Small Bombs you brought with you to destroy the wall. Take the crafting materials with you when you drop down, as this is a one-way drop. Turn around to find the crafter.
* Lay the items in their correct slot as indicated by the images. If for some reason the decals aren't loading:
** The left spot holds the Meteor Core.
** The middle spot holds the Adurite Key.
** The right spot holds the Burning Skull.
* Once all items are inserted into their corresponding spots, all of the slots will close, consuming the crafting materials. The center wall will begin to raise, followed by an explosion. The Emberbane will fall onto the ground to be claimed.
Upon claiming the Emberbane, the player can leave the tunnel by turning around and following it to its end. This will put them back into Mike's Mines; turning left after falling out will lead them back to the surface in the spawn area.
== Tips ==
* Be sure to carry the supplies in a crate or using one of the grabbers. This way, all of the materials will be easy to transport up to the top of the plateau, and down into the crafting chamber.
== Trivia ==
 
* The Emberbane is the most difficult axe to obtain as of v1.36.0.
* Prior to v1.51.0, the Emberbane's inventory icon was that of the Tall Refined Axe, albeit with a black handle and red axe head.
