who says haymaker is useless?

[MogBeoulve]

Went weed whacking on a green rain day, got 347 hay to show for it. Gonna have to see what a personal best will be, since I stopped to buy a rabbit on the way.

Might be a silly question, but where do you get hay during green rain? You don't mean fiber, do you?

Haymaker is a cool little enchantment you can put on a melee weapon (Like a sword) to occasionally get hay when slicing through weeds.
It's on the wiki; it has to do with the Volcano Forge on Ginger Island. Under 'Combat Enchantments'

Oooo I gotta get Haymaker as my next enchantment. I hate buying hay from Marnie. Have to look her in the eyes as I go broke-

Ah, I see. Thanx, just forgot about that

Its moderately useful, but niche, falls into the same category as bug killer where you could totally use it, but it's 'useless' when compared to any enchant you'd actually prefer to have on a main weapon/tool

if you could put two separate enchantments on the same weapon it'd be a fine second one to have when you're, say, resetting Floor 81 to grind up crafting resources. But, as it is we are limited to one and the others are all going to be more useful in most situations (there's also several better uses of your Prismatic Shard so until/unless you've Skull Caverned well enough to have a surplus of them...).

Might be worthwhile on a second weapon (a sword, ideally) you keep stored in a chest by the mine elevator entrance. If you remember and/or like micromanaging yourself enough to remember to swap it in and out of your inventory.

I don't remember any of the enchantments either lol. I always gotta research on the wiki before I use the forge- ;-;

I totally agree. Recently, I went short on hay with one farmer. I used one of the weapons that sleep in my chests to put Haymaker enchantment on it (I took me a few Prismatic/Cinder Shards because I was unlucky) and it was totally worth it on the green rain day that happened a few days later: my silos were refilled.

Now, everytime I need to cut grass or whatever to get fiber or mere cleaning, I use this weapon to also get hay. Totally worth it, though I agree with @FilthyGorilla it's kind of a niche enchantment as I wouldn't use it on my main weapon (where vampiric enchantment rules unchallenged).

I mean you can buy a extra Galaxy Sword and put it on that. Definitely not for your main weapon tho lol.
