Diamond Fuse Effects and Combinations

Power Up Weapon by 25

Unlike other ores, fusing Diamonds to your weapons just powers the weapon up by 25, with no additional elemental effect. It's good if you want a strong weapon, but not recommended for getting the most out of fusing.

There are essentially just 3 weapons that you can get when fusing a melee weapon with diamonds: Diamond Reaper, Diamond Spear, and Diamond Blade.

Examples of Diamond-fused weapons

Weapon Before Diamond Fusing	Weapon After Diamond Fusing
Magic Rod (6 Damage)	Diamond Reaper (31 Damage)
Magic Staff (4 Damage)	Diamond Spear (29 Damage)
Fierce Deity Sword (38 Damage)	Diamond Blade (63 Damage)

Bow also gets an increase by 25

Diamonds also provide a 25 point damage increase when fused with arrows. However since you'll have to fuse 1 diamond per arrow, this is a wasteful use of arrows.
