Staff of Regrowth



The Staff of Regrowth is a unique planting tool and weapon. By left-clicking, it can be autoswung as a Broadsword; when swung in this way to cut down alchemical herbs, if used on plants in clay pots or planter boxes, only blooming herbs that would drop seeds will be cut, leaving unharmed those that are not in bloom or that have yet to fully grow. On the other hand, you can obtain seeds from plants that aren't in bloom from their natural blocks. The herbs cut in this way yield additional seeds and plants as well. Additionally, with each swing, the mouse pointer can be used to direct the staff to grow Grass on a single block of dirt, or to cause Moss to grow on stone. The type of moss will vary depending on the proximity to other types of moss. As such, one can spread the fire moss from the cavern's lava layers all the way up to the surface.

The Staff of Regrowth can be found in the Underground Jungle Biome in Jungle Shrines. The best modifier available to it is Legendary, however a high speed modifier such as Light may be preferred for harvesting.

Tips

 * The Staff may grow grass on any Dirt Block, no matter how deep it is. Unfortunately, grass has limited function underground. Past a certain point, Grass will not grow weeds or Dayblooms, and Trees will not mature.
 * The Staff of Regrowth functions well as a trail marker Underground, as grass stands out well in the environment of grays and browns.
 * The Staff of Regrowth can be used to indirectly spread Hallowed, Corrupted or Crimson grass underground by growing grass near Pearlstone, Ebonstone, or Crimstone respectively.
