Gem staves

A Gem staff is a magic weapon crafted from Gems at the Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil. There are currently 6 types corresponding to the 6 different Gems.

Crafting a Gem staff also requires various Bars. Since not all Bars are available in all worlds, refer to the "World type" column to see which Staves can be crafted in which worlds: Worlds of Type A contain Copper, Silver, and Gold, while Type B contains Tin, Tungsten, and Platinum. It is possible, however, to obtain ores from the opposite world by using the Extractinator.

A Gem staff's projectile travels at medium speed, can pierce multiple enemies, and glows brightly, making the staff a handy cave exploration tool. The speed of the projectiles is not affected by water. The attack button can be held down for rapid fire. Staves lie between the Space Gun and the Laser Rifle in damage rate, making them powerful pre-Hardmode weapons.
