Bast Statue

The Bast Statue is a pre-Hardmode furniture item that grants a +5 Defense buff to players in its vicinity. Its buff effect can be toggled via wire. The statue can be found in Sandstone Chests in the lower portion of the Underground Desert, or in Oasis Crates.

The buff is applied to any players standing within a 170-tile by 125-tile rectangular region centered on the Bast Statue, similar to the Heart Lantern and Campfires.
