Sharpened Sword — Detailed Guide

A sharper edge from Primitive Plus

The Sharpened Sword is a melee weapon from Primitive Plus, the Primitive+ DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. Its description: "The undisputed ruler of short-range combat. Needs a hotter flame to be forged." The ARK Wiki sums up its strength in one comparison: it reaches as far as a sword yet deals the damage of a battleaxe. The wiki also states that the weapon is only available on Primitive+.

Turning a Sword into a Sharpened Sword

The recipe has a single ingredient, 1 Sword, and the wiki names the Grindstone (Primitive Plus) as the station. Crafting takes 60 seconds, which is 1 minute, and gives one Sharpened Sword plus 3 crafting XP.

Weight, durability and limits

The sword weighs 5 and has 70 durability. It does not stack, so a full stack is the one sword at a weight of 5. According to the wiki, skins cannot be equipped on it and it cannot be repaired. The wiki further reports that as of 4/10/21 the Sharpened Sword did not exist in Primitive+ on Xbox One.
