The Flaming Mace attacking Target Dummies.

The Flaming Mace is a flail weapon craftable in early pre-Hardmode. It has a 16.67*1/6 (16.67%) chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff. Stepping in water or submerging the head extinguishes it and the projectile effectively becomes that of a regular Mace.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Tips

Because it inflicts the On Fire! debuff and is not difficult to obtain, it is a very powerful starter weapon.

Trivia

The Flaming Mace strongly resembles the Sunfury. Both flails inflict On Fire!, though the Sunfury does not extinguish upon contact with water.
The trait of extinguishing in water is shared with Flaming Arrows, which are also crafted from Torches.
