Adamantite Glaive vs Mythril Sword
The verdict
With crit factored in, Mythril Sword puts out 156.0 DPS against 122.3 for Adamantite Glaive — about 28% more damage per second. Base hits are Adamantite Glaive 49 vs Mythril Sword 50, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Mythril Sword swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 25, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
