Notes

• If the world generated with Copper Ore or Tin Ore instead of Bronze Ore, then the only way to craft the Tourmaline Staff is to:
  • Gather Bronze Ore with the Extractinator.
  • Mine Bronze Ore from another World where it is naturally generated.
  • Collect Bronze Ore from slimes or Ore Slimes.
  • Get Bronze Ore and Bronze Bars through fishing up crates.
  • Transmute Iron Ore or Bars into Bronze Ore or Bars via Shimmer Transmutation.
  • Turn Tin Ore or Bars into Bronze Ore or Bars via a Chlorophyte Extractinator or a Catalyzer with Sulphur.

Tips

• It has slow speed and low knockback, but even with the low starting base mana of 20, the staff can fire 4 consecutive shots.
• Due to its somewhat slow projectile speed, this weapon suffers when facing moving aerial targets, such as the Demon Eye.

Trivia

• In the Exxo Avalon source mod, the Tourmaline Staff was crafted with Demonite Bars and Shadow Scales instead of Bronze Bars.
  • The equivalent bronze-tier gem staff was crafted with either Amethyst or Topaz.
