Slime Staff

The Slime Staff is a summon weapon which summons a Baby Slime minion. 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 generally has the rarest drop chance of any weapon, with minor exceptions. The typical drop rate from most slimes and Slimed Zombies is 1/10000 / (0.0001% / ). Pinky has a greatly increased drop rate of 1/100 / (1% / ). Additionally, Sand Slimes have a drop rate of 1/8000 / (0.013% / ).

Unlike other summon weapons, its best possible modifier is Mythical. This is because both the Ruthless and Mythical modifiers raise its base damage only to 9 due to rounding.

Tips

 * An easy way to obtain the Slime Staff without much effort is to construct a statue farm with one or more Slime Statues, and lava just deep enough to not destroy any drops as it kills the slimes. Leave it alone for a while, and occasionally check if the staff has been dropped yet. Using advanced setups like engines and multiple statues can greatly accelerate the process. Note that as of version, one cannot simply trigger the statue in quick succession, as there is a limit to how often that is possible.
 * Another way to quickly kill a lot of slimes is to summon King Slime or to wait for a.
 * The Slime Staff when coupled with Lucky Coin and a weak modifier is a great money maker since its attacks are fast but not strong.
 * It can be used to keep weak enemies like Meteor Heads away while focusing on other tasks like mining.
 * The summoned Baby Slime is summoned at the cursor, and therefore can be used to attack enemies on the other side of walls.
