The Raven Staff is a Hardmode, post-Plantera summon weapon that spawns a Raven minion that swiftly charges through enemies while dealing contact damage. Like other minions, the summoned Raven is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, cancels the buff, or leaves the world. The Raven Staff is dropped by the Pumpking during the Pumpkin Moon event with a 1.56 ~ 12.5% (6.25 ~ 12.5%) chance depending on the current wave.[1]
Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Raven Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
Tips
- The Ravens attack notably quickly. As they are also able to fly, this makes them potent melee minions.
- Ravens physically pierce through multiple enemies but do not deal piercing damage.
- The Raven's dark color makes it hard to see at night. This can be remedied by using the Critter Shampoo with a bright, glowing dye.
Trivia
- The Raven Staff can be considered a direct upgrade to the Finch Staff, as both weapons summon bird minions that attack in a similar pattern.

- ↑ Pumpkin Moon enemies have a greater chance of dropping loot in later waves than in earlier waves (except for guaranteed drops such as Spooky Wood, and, on the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo
version, except for trophies – which never drop except in wave 15 when they will always drop). Information taken from the
Desktop 1.4.0.5 source code, method
