The Amethyst Staff being used to attack a Target Dummy.

The Amethyst Staff is a pre-Hardmode magic weapon, and is the first and weakest tier of gem staff. It fires a non-piercing purple bolt.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Its best modifier is Mythical.

(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. It cannot get the Mythical or Masterful modifiers due to its low mana cost.

Notes

Tips

  • It has slow speed and low knockback, but even with the low starting base mana of 20, the staff can fire (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 4 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 6 consecutive shots.
  • Due to its somewhat slow projectile speed, this weapon suffers when facing moving aerial targets, such as the Demon Eye.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Mana cost increased from 3 to 5.
    • Damage increased from 14 to 15.
    • Use time reduced from 40 to 37.
