Overview
Arcanethyst is a Cosmic-tier sword skin on Astroworld MC, one of 10 Cosmic skins and 83 sword skins in the cosmetic pool. Like every weapon skin on the server it is a pure cosmetic: equipping Arcanethyst restyles the look of your sword without changing its damage, durability, attack speed, or any other stat.
How to Obtain
Arcanethyst is obtained from the Cosmic Crate, which is opened with a Cosmic Key. Cosmic Keys come from daily and monthly login rewards, higher-tier pouches, and events - there is no way to buy a skin directly for in-game money or to craft one. The Cosmic Crate also carries a 3% bonus chance to roll an Eye of Astroworld on opening, so grinding skins doubles as progress toward the Void Sovereign endgame.
About Cosmic Skins
Cosmic is the top skin tier and the rarest cosmetic category on Astroworld. Cosmic skins feature the most elaborate, space-and-galaxy-themed designs in the pool and are the showpiece pulls every skin collector chases - yet even the rarest Cosmic skin is cosmetic-only and grants no combat advantage.
There are 10 cosmic skins in the pool in total. Browse them all, and skins of every other rarity, on the Skins index.
Sword Skins & the Sword Slot
Sword skins apply to the sword slot. In vanilla Minecraft 1.21 the sword is the dedicated melee weapon: it has the best attack speed of any weapon, and a fully-charged swing performs a sweeping attack that hits multiple mobs at once. Most weapon skins on Astroworld are swords, so the sword pool is the deepest of the three.
Arcanethyst is one of 83 sword skins on Astroworld. Because skins are cosmetic, you can wear a sword skin on top of any enchanted sword - see the Enchants database for the custom enchants that actually change how your weapon performs.
