Overview
The Thalwynd Hammer is a one-handed hammer in Crimson Desert with 12 attack power and a Critical Hit Chance Lv. 1 bonus. Among the one-handed weapons in the hammer subcategory, it offers the best stat combination at its price point: equal attack power to the Bekker Hammer but with an additional crit bonus that the Bekker version lacks.
The Thalwynd Hammer is a purchased weapon rather than a crafted one, which means you do not need a crafting book or raw materials to acquire it. Simply visit a merchant that stocks it, pay the listed price, and the hammer is yours. This makes it a convenient mid-game upgrade for players already using the Balton Hammer or Bekker Hammer.

The crit bonus gives the Thalwynd Hammer an edge over the Bekker Hammer in builds that focus on critical damage. Paired with Abyss Gear that boosts crit damage multiplier, those periodic critical hits translate into noticeable damage spikes.
How to Obtain
The Thalwynd Hammer is available for purchase from equipment merchants. Its buy price of 3.40 Silver places it in the affordable range for players who have been doing quests and selling loot regularly. Prices may vary depending on your reputation with local factions; higher standing with a faction typically results in better prices at shops within their territory.
Check equipment shops in major settlements across Pywel. Merchants near blacksmiths in towns like Hernand are the most likely vendors to carry this hammer.
Comparison with Other Hammers
Weapon | Attack | Bonus | Source | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
10 | Crit Lv. 1 | Crafted | 5 Iron + 2 Copper | |
12 | None | Crafted | 5 Iron + 2 Copper | |
12 | Crit Lv. 1 | Purchased | 3.40 Silver |
The Thalwynd Hammer is the best overall one-handed hammer for players who want both decent attack power and a crit bonus. The only tradeoff is the silver cost versus the material cost of crafting.
Combat Tips
If you have been using the Balton Hammer and have the silver to spare, the Thalwynd Hammer is a direct upgrade in both attack and consistency
The crit bonus stacks with Abyss Gear effects. Slot a critical damage core to turn occasional crits into significant burst damage
Hammers work best against slow, heavily armored enemies. Use the stagger to interrupt their attacks and create safe openings for follow-up combos
Refine the Thalwynd Hammer if you plan to keep it through mid-game content. At 12 base attack with ten refinement levels, it scales well enough to remain competitive for a while
