'''vphlIo's Netherite Sword''' is the primary weapon of [[Player:vphlIo|vphlIo]] and the most lethal player-wielded item on the Xandaris server. It is a near-maximally enchanted netherite sword responsible for at least three confirmed player kills, including the [[Event:The Murder of Sigward_f|murder of Sigward_f]] and the [[Event:The Killing of OneStarNoTip|killing of OneStarNoTip]]. Despite its kill count, the sword has no custom name — it is simply "Netherite Sword."

== Enchantments ==
The sword carries seven enchantments — near-maximum for a netherite sword:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Enchantment !! Level !! Notes
|-
| '''Sharpness''' || V || Maximum
|-
| '''Fire Aspect''' || II || Maximum
|-
| '''Sweeping Edge''' || III || Maximum
|-
| '''Looting''' || III || Maximum
|-
| '''Knockback''' || I || ''Below maximum'' — many PvP players prefer less knockback to keep targets in melee range
|-
| '''Unbreaking''' || III || Maximum
|-
| '''Mending''' || I || Maximum — keeps the sword at near-full durability
|}

The sword's anvil repair cost is 31 (out of the "too expensive" cap of 39), indicating approximately five anvil operations to combine enchanted books.

== Kill History ==

=== Confirmed Player Kills ===
# '''[[Player:Sigward_f|Sigward_f]]''' — February 23, 2026 at 00:15:30 UTC, at [[Location:The Island|The Island]]. The [[Event:The Murder of Sigward_f|murder of Sigward_f]] following a four-second countdown over stolen player heads.
# '''[[Player:OneStarNoTip|OneStarNoTip]]''' — February 23, 2026 at 23:53:58 UTC, near WalkZDog1's base at Y:6 underground. The [[Event:The Killing of OneStarNoTip|killing of OneStarNoTip]] — lured with free gear, killed for discovering the AI bots.
# '''One additional tracked kill''' — the ToolStats plugin records earlier player kills but the DeathMessages weapon display was not yet active. vphlIo's February 20 spawn kill of Sigward_f likely used this sword.

=== Mob Kills ===
The sword has 1,445 tracked mob kills since February 19, including a mass '''villager slaughter''' on The Island — over 40 villagers killed in rapid succession across February 20–21. This accounts for a significant portion of the mob kill count.

=== The "somehow using" Death Message ===
The death message ''"Sigward_f was slain by vphlIo somehow using Netherite Sword"'' does not indicate a custom-named weapon. The "somehow using" phrasing comes from the server's '''DeathMessages''' plugin, which uses that template for all PvP weapon kills:

<code>&4☠ &c%player% was slain by %killer% somehow using %weapon%</code>

Earlier kills by vphlIo (February 17–20) display as plain ''"was slain by vphlIo"'' because the DeathMessages plugin was installed on February 19 and did not retroactively affect prior death messages.

== Context ==

=== Trophy Collection ===
vphlIo stores the sword alongside a '''trophy shulker box''' in his ender chest. The box contains player heads from his kills: Sigward_f, samboyd (x8), AwesomeAG99, Linus_wf, barryjeans, Diamond7120, and others. It also holds the [[Item:Blade of Steel|Blade of Steel]] — a different legendary weapon originally given to [[Player:Kitten9337|Kitten9337]].

=== Other Named Weapons on the Server ===
For context, only three weapons have appeared in death messages:
* '''[ss]''' — used by barryjeans to kill Sigward_f and AwesomeAG99 on February 16
* '''[[Item:Blade of Steel|Blade of Steel]]''' — used by razrxcz to kill EEgan on February 18
* '''Netherite Sword''' (this weapon) — used by vphlIo and [[Player:tuodjw|tuodjw]] in kills after the DeathMessages plugin went live
