Notes

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

Tips

• Due to its somewhat slow projectile speed, this weapon suffers when facing moving aerial targets, such as the Demon Eye.
• It will occasionally hit a target twice because of its slow projectiles and ability to pierce one enemy.
• It is very useful for fighting hordes of enemies due to its piercing ability.

Trivia

• In the Exxo Avalon source mod, the Zircon Staff was crafted with Baccilite Bars and Boogers instead of Bismuth Bars.
  • The equivalent bismuth-tier gem staff was crafted with either Ruby or Diamond.
