Tips[]

  • Its low reinforcement cost of a mere 5 Wood makes this an excellent weapon during the early/mid-game.
    • Additionally, an upgraded Fireball Staff deals very similar damage to the Scholar's Staff, (with a 19 level Fireball staff dealing 6 more max damage + burn over time then a 19 level Scholar's Staff) but may overtake this in burn damage over time. Additionally, the secondary skill can serve as a mining tool until one can obtain a better mining tool, and will still keep its reinforcement cost.
      • The Fireball Staff is one of the only non-tool weapons that can damage and break Radiation Crystals from outside their hazard range.
    • This low Reinforcement cost means that bringing a Salvage and Repair Station with you is a very worthwhile thing to do.
