Enchanted Swords and Life Crystals are exceedingly, ridiculously rare in Golden/Titanium crates.
Firstly you would have to catch the crate, which in itself is a 1/150 chance with 100 FP, AKA golden fishing rod and master bait. Let's put a crate potion on it, too, that doubles the chances and turns it into a 1/75 chance of catching a golden crate. That one crate then has a 1/50 chance of giving you an Enchanted Sword.
That means you have a 1/3750 chance of fishing it up at every catch. If you were to fish for the Enchanted Sword, because you don't want to worldhop and because your large world didn't spawn any shrines, [edit]and let's say you had 100 FP and caught 1 fish every 2 seconds:[/edit] you are expected to catch 1 enchanted sword every 2 hours 5 minutes; you would have to fish 50 golden crates to expect to get just 1 enchanted sword! You literally have a higher chance of getting the rod of discord from Chaos Elementals than getting the enchanted sword from fishing, hell even getting just 1 life crystal from fishing! (1/2250 probability) These numbers are ludicrous: why such a low chance for an item that is necessary for crafting the Zenith? If you're actually going fishing for the Enchanted Sword, odds are you are NOT playing in early pre-hardmode, but rather in Post-ML gear trying to get it to craft the ultimate Terraria Weapon.
