Tips

• On the  Console version, Amber Staves are prohibitively difficult to obtain, as they require at least a Nightmare/Deathbringer Pickaxe to mine the Desert Fossils and an Extractinator to convert them. However, other gem types (and the metals to go with them) are available much earlier and in higher quantities; by the time a player can make an Amber Staff, they will likely already have a Ruby or Diamond staff, if not some more powerful weapon.

Trivia

• The Amber Staff is the only Gem staff that does not require metal bars to craft, instead it requires Sturdy Fossils.
• The Ruby Staff is functionally identical to the Amber Staff according to the stats in its tooltip.
