Stone Pounder

Stone Pounder is a Stone-tier long hammer in Everwind, a heavier and more refined two-handed maul compared to the Log Hammer, built with an oversized stone head for maximum blunt-force delivery. Crafted at the Crafting Station using stone resources, it improves on earlier long hammers with better damage and durability. Its name accurately describes its function: a weapon designed to pound through enemy defenses with relentless blunt trauma.

No skill requirement is needed to equip the Stone Pounder, placing it in the accessible early-game tier. One rune slot offers customization; Rune of Strength is the natural complement to a weapon built entirely around maximum impact per swing. The long hammer's inherent stagger potential reaches meaningful levels here, capable of interrupting mid-tier enemy attacks consistently. Upgrading to +10 at the Upgrade Station helps extend its usefulness as players work toward copper materials.

Stone Pounder is a reliable companion for players exploring Stone-tier caves and open areas where its blunt impact overwhelms enemies that lighter weapons struggle with. It occupies the same progression tier as Rock Blade and Rock Splitter but offers a distinctly different combat philosophy favoring raw power over speed. The next major step up in the long hammer line is the Scrap Steamer Metal Maul for players on Rotten Island, or the Copper Maul via standard metal crafting.
