The Staff is a critical component in crafting the shovel and the axe. It can be improvised as a melee weapon with a range as long as the shovel, making them slightly better than the craftable Board With Nails, though its durability and damage potential cannot be upgraded.
Staves are also used as weapons by Stick Savages and can be obtained from their corpses. At least two staves are needed to craft both the shovel and the axe.
Strategies[]
Other than the more superior reach, the staff has identical stats to the board with nails without upgrades in terms of damage output, durability, attack speed, and stamina cost, making it a decent alternative to deal with lesser enemies.
While only a single passive stick savage exists at the markings in the Dry Meadow, they are common nightly invaders in the Silent Forest Hideout. Should the player actively hunt them down, it is almost a guarantee at least one staff can be obtained each night.
It is possible to make the most of staves by using them as temporary weapons to save up resources for other purposes besides repairing until they are one hit away from breaking since staves can always be used to craft the needed weapons even if not at full durability. Alternatively, they can just be sold to vendors. Note that their durability still affects the total value.
Trivia[]
- The staff is one of the three crafting materials that have durability, with the other two being gasoline and the Odd-Looking Mushroom.
- The staff is the only durability-based material in the game that can be used in a crafting recipe regardless of how much durability it has so long as it has not broken. This feature is likely an oversight.
