🗡 Carnage Cleaver

Carnage Cleaver

The legendary Carnage-only sword. It hits the hardest of any blade on the server and carries Inferno: right-click to light the blade and set every mob you strike ablaze.

Overview #

The Carnage Cleaver sits above the entire sword ladder, a netherite blade you can only obtain once you've pledged the Carnage alignment. It rolls the highest Damage 🗡 range of any weapon and, unlike the ordinary Bronze → Iron → Diamond tiers, it comes with a right-click ability: Inferno.

Rarity
Legendary
Type
Sword: provides Damage 🗡 and Attack Speed. See the full sword lineup.
Requires
The Carnage alignment (chosen at the Bronze Age), and the Time Leap tier that unlocks the Diamond Mine.
Ability
Inferno: ignite the blade for 15 seconds; hits then apply the Inferno effect.

📜“Forged in the heart of the Volcano, the Cleaver drinks the heat and gives it back to whatever it touches.”

Stats #

Every Carnage Cleaver is rolled within a range when it's created, so no two are identical, and a lucky roll lands near the top of each band:

StatRangeNotes
Damage 🗡 30 – 70 The highest Damage 🗡 band of any sword. A Diamond blade tops out at 30.
Attack Speed 1.3 hits/sec A slower swing than the lighter blades; it trades cadence for raw hit power.

You can amplify the Cleaver further with sword relics like Fang (+Damage 🗡) or Steel Frame (+Damage 🗡 & Crit), applied at the Relic Smith. A relic scales the blade's own contribution, so a bigger base roll gets more out of the same relic.

The Inferno Ability #

Inferno is what makes the Cleaver special. Right-click the held sword to ignite the blade for 15 seconds. While it's lit, every hit you land sets that mob ablaze with the Inferno effect. The target then takes fire damage each second for 3 seconds (reduced by the mob's own damage reduction).

🔥 Right-click to light

Activating flares the blade for 15 seconds. After the window ends, right-click again (once the ability's cooldown is up) to re-light it.

💥 Hits apply Inferno

Any strike while lit ignites the mob, stacking a burn that ticks fire damage each second for 3s, great for clearing groups without needing to land every hit yourself.

Inferno is a player effect, not a stat. The burn's damage is applied over time and is softened by the target's damage reduction, so it shines most against the fragile mobs you're clearing in bulk. This is PvE only; Inferno only ever affects mobs, never other players.

How to Get It #

The Cleaver isn't sold in any shop and never drops from mobs. It's a Carnage trade. You first reach the Bronze Age and pledge Carnage at the Era Chamber (use /era to travel there), which opens the Carnage Timelord's trade menu:

ItemRarityCost
Carnage Cleaver Legendary 25,000 Flesh + 1,000 Pure Diamonds + 10× Rusted Gear

Gather Flesh from the Volcano and from combat, purify Diamonds into Pure Diamonds at the Diamond Forge, and collect Rusted Gear as a combat drop. Because it gates on your best-ever Time Leap tier, the Cleaver keeps working even after an Era reset lowers your current tier.

The Cleaver is exclusive to the Carnage alignment. Choosing or changing an alignment triggers a full Era reset of your resources and your current Time Leap tier, but your best-ever tier is preserved, and your items are never lost to any reset. Swords, pickaxes, armor, relics, artifacts, accessories, charms, runes, and potions all survive Seconds, Chrono Dust, Time Leap, Intelligence, and Era resets alike, so the Cleaver stays in your inventory even if you later re-align.

Tips #

  • Pair the Cleaver with Carnage's Barbarian passive: kills chain into Frenzy for escalating Damage 🗡, while Inferno keeps the whole pack burning.
  • Light Inferno before you dive into a cluster of mobs in the Diamond Mine or the Volcano so every opening hit spreads the burn.
  • Slot a Steel Frame relic to push both Damage 🗡 and Crit higher. The relic scales the Cleaver's own boost, so a high base roll compounds.
  • New to the game? /guide opens this wiki in your browser. Start with Getting Started if the Carnage path is still a way off.
