Slime Staff


 * This article is about the PC minion/item. For the Console/Mobile pet/item, see Slime Pet/Petri Dish.

The Slime Staff is a magic weapon that summons a baby Slime minion to fight by your side. Like other minions, the summoned baby slime is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff. The Slime Staff is currently the rarest dropped weapon, with a drop rate of 0.01% (1/10000) from most Slimes and the Slimed Zombies.

The best possible modifier for this weapon is Mythical (the Ruthless modifier doesn't have any changes when comparing it with damage stats, because its damage is so low, that it's rounded down).

Tips

 * The Slime Staff can be obtained before Hardmode. An easy way to obtain the Slime Staff without much effort is to construct a six timer statue farm with one or more Slime Statues, leave it alone for awhile, and occasionally check if the staff has been dropped yet. *Another good way of farming these is killing the King Slime many times, as it creates and spawns Blue Slimes that can drop it.
 * The Slime Staff when coupled with Lucky Coin is a great money maker since its attacks are fast but not strong.
 * It can be used to keep weak monsters off your back, such as Meteor Heads

Trivia

 * The staff itself may be a Shillelagh.
 * Enemies frequently avoid player-inflicted damage when being attacked by a pet slime, due to its high attack speed causing brief invulnerability to enemies.
 * Even though this Staff is the rarest drop at 0.01% or 1/10000, it is not the lowest chance to obtain an item. Placing Silt or Slush in an Extractinator has a 0.01% chance to return an Amber Mosquito, and a 0.008% or 4/50000 chance to drop a low amount of Platinum Coins.
