Pirate Staff

The Pirate Staff is a Hardmode Minion summoning weapon that spawns a pirate character that follows the player and attacks enemies via a melee sword attack. Like other minions, the summoned pirate 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 Pirate Staff is dropped randomly by Pirates during a Pirate Invasion.

Its best Modifier is Ruthless.

Trivia

 * This item is one of several crossover references to the game Pixel Piracy.
 * The pirates will defecate randomly, similar to the behavior from the Pixel Piracy game. This has no side-effects.
 * If you stray too far from the pirate, a parrot will carry it to you.
