Introductory purple magic bolts and cave gathering
Crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil with 7 Copper Bars and 8 Amethysts, the Amethyst Staff provides beginner magic power. It discharges a luminous purple energy projectile that pierces 1 enemy, costing 7 mana per cast. The bolt strikes at 37 use time, inflicting 15 base magic damage with 3.25 knockback. The bolt produces gentle purple light that helps reveal ore veins in pitch-black caves.
Entry-level sorcery and wand upgrade pathways
This weapon represents the most accessible craftable gem staff, offering early ranged magical attacks before finding dungeon chests or shadow orbs. Players can upgrade to the Topaz Staff or higher-tier staves as rarer gems are mined. Its piercing capability allows each bolt to hit up to two aligned monsters, making it useful in narrow horizontal hallways. The top modifier to reforge is Mythical, maximizing casting speed and reducing mana consumption.
Trivia
- The Amethyst Staff is the lowest tier craftable gem staff in the game.
- Its magical bolt pierces one target and dissipates upon hitting a second enemy or solid block.
