Fire Staff

"I don't want to set the world on fire."

- Wilson

The Fire Staff is a Magic ranged weapon. It requires 2 Nightmare Fuel, 1 Spear, and 1 Red Gem to craft and a Shadow Manipulator to prototype.

The Fire Staff can set targets a distance away on fire, damaging them by burning. Each time the Fire Staff is used, the character's is drained by 1. Other than damaging objects and killing creatures by fire, the Fire Staff can be used to set fire to objects like a Torch would, which drains its durability by 5. The user cannot set them on fire from a distance.

A Fire Staff can also be found in Fire Staff trap or the Disused Beefalo Pen trap. Picking up the staff from the Fire Staff trap will cause it to rain, and it will wake the Red Hounds. An effective way of safely acquiring the staff is to attack one of the Hounds, then either fight it or kite it to the nearest neutral mob, such as a Pig or a herd of Beefalo. The others will not wake up if the player chooses to kill them one-by-one.

The Fire Staff's counterpart is the Ice Staff, which is used to freeze mobs.
