Trivia

 * The Molten Wave ability gold blocks do not visually appear on non-full blocks, notably carpets. This is a visual bug however, as it still deals damage as if the wave is rendered.
 * The Molten Wave ability gold blocks blocks the Bonemerang projectiles.
 * It used to block other projectiles, most notably arrows. This makes the Midas Staff less likely to be used in higher floors as archers usually deal much more damage than mages. This was fixed in August 8 2023 Patch Notes.
 * The Molten Wave ability gold blocks can get stuck within cobwebs.
 * The wave cannot hit enemies too close to the player, about 1 block away.
 * The Greed ability's bonus ability damage used to be bugged, which meant that the bonus ability damage was not boosted by level in dungeons even if the staff was dungeonized. This was fixed in the 0.14 Bug Fixes 2 Update.
 * The Midas Staff is also called the "Midas Spoon" or the "Spoon" by the community.
 * The name "Midas Spoon" possibly stems from the fact that the vanilla Midas Staff is a golden shovel.
 * This weapon at paid has the second highest base magic damage of any weapon after Giant's Sword.
