Just some thoughts, so please tell me what you think about the buffs, and one last thing:

becomes it's pre-1.2 self, because it was awesome!

These... aren't even slightly related... so there's no real need to balance them relative to each other...

Also, is tagging me in all of your threads going to become a habit for you? Please try not to do that too often.

Kinda random if you ask me. Why a comparison of these three? They are completely unrelated.

Heh… Sorry about that. From now on, I promise to never talk to you ever again! Or tag!

Let's see...

Starfury's total DPS: 88
Enchanted Sword's total DPS: 78
Purple Clubberfish's DPS: 42

So yeah, I would like to see the Enchanted Sword buffed to 20 damage, since it wouldn't cause much upset and make it a more worthy prize.

As for the Purple Clubberfish; Yes, it's definitely less powerful, but I have no idea what this has to do with anything. It's a tool, for one thing, but it's also as far outside the realm of glowing magical swords with recharging ranged abilities as I could possibly imagine. Seriously. What?

Well, the Enchanted Sword and the Starfury are both, like I just said, glowing magical swords with recharging ranged abilities.

It's that dumb Clubberfish that's causing this confusion. I'll say this again for emphasis: What?

If you want to balance the Enchanted Sword against something, try the Enchanted Boomerang. Assuming, of course, that it isn't balanced already.

I don't want the Enchanted sword nerfed, though, nor do I want all early-game equipment buffed. .-.

Best not to touch it at all.

I think Starfury being stronger than Enchanted Sword is fine. Enchanted Sword is just kind of a rare bonus weapon and with extreme luck, can be even easier to get than the Starfury. Rarity doesn't justify strength, there's always gonna be people who get the rarer, stronger thing before the weaker, more common one.

Plus Starfury is tricky underground. The stars now pass through blocks if they spawn in them, but caves above can cause the stars to explode before they reach their target.

The reason that Everybody decided to post this is that all three of these items can be obtained at the same time. Starfury and Enchanted Sword are both good weapons, so this post simply compares the two weapons to show that which one is better. Though the Purple Clubberfish, I don't know why he compared that, this post is useful for people who have gotten an Enchanted Sword and a Starfury at the relatively same time so they can choose which one is best to use to progress the game. Also, Baconfry, obviously, if you compared the Enchanted Sword to the Enchanted Boomerang, Enchanted Sword would win. Enchanted Sword can do ranged and close, and can still attack when the beam is out. Sure, the Enchanted Boomerang can be upgraded to Flamarang, but both have the disadvantage of if you miss your target, you would be left weaponless until either you pull out another weapon or you get the boomerang back.
