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
- If the world generated with Tin Ore instead of Copper Ore, there are multiple ways to obtain an Amethyst Staff, such as:
- Gathering Copper Ore from an Extractinator.
- Mining Copper Ore from another World where it is naturally generated.
- Collecting Copper Ore from slimes.
- Getting Copper Ore and Copper Bars through fishing up crates.
- Transmuting Tin Ore or Bars into Copper Ore or Bars via Shimmer Transmutation or Chlorophyte Extractinator.
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.
