The Bast Statue is a furniture item that grants The Bast Defense buff to players in its vicinity, increasing their defense by 5. The buff effect can be toggled via wire. The Bast Statue can be found in Sandstone Chests in the lower 3/7ths of the Underground Desert and in Oasis Crates and Mirage Crates obtained from fishing in the Oasis. It can also be found as a furniture in Underground Desert Cabins.

The buff is applied to any players standing within a rectangular area of 170×125 tiles centered on the Bast Statue, similar to Heart Lanterns and Campfires.

Notes

• Multiple statues will not stack their effects. Two Bast Statues in a player's vicinity will still only grant +5 defense.

Trivia

• Bastet or Bast was the Egyptian goddess of protection against disease and evil spirits, cats, perfume, ointments, fertility, pregnancy, children, music, the arts, and warfare.
• The buff name "The Bast Defense" is a pun on the phrase "the best defense is a good offense", a proverb commonly used as the prime strategic principle of war.
