Midas Staff

The Midas Staff is a Sword obtainable at Darker Auctions. It has a strong ability which grows in power the more money is spent on it.

Obtaining
The Midas Staff can be bought from the Dark Auction only when Scorpius is elected as mayor. It will always appear as the 7th item for sale. Its minimum price is.

Its ability damage is increased the more money it is bought for at the Auction, up to a maximum of 26,000 bonus base damage at.

Usage
Its item ability casts a wave of gold blocks in front of the player, similar to the Tank class ability Seismic Wave. All enemies caught within the wave take the full ability damage. The wave has a length of 7 blocks and stops upon impact with walls. The ability has a 1-second cooldown and costs 500 Mana to use.

This weapon is best paired with the Mage class in dungeons due to its mana cost, which is one of the highest in the game.

This weapon is commonly used when doing Slayers, as with some gear, bosses can be quickly defeated.

Trivia

 * The Molten Wave ability does 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 Midas Staff's ability softblocks Bonemerang s, which stops the bonemerang from swinging out, and damaging enemies.
 * The wave cannot hit enemies too close to the player, about 1 block away.
 * The wave moves rather slowly so it may be hard to hit fast minibosses like Shadow Assassins, so use items that can halt or slow them down like an Ice Spray Wand or Voodoo Doll.
 * if the Midas Staff is dungeonized, the Greed ability's bonus ability damage is also boosted by your Catacombs level.
 * The Midas Staff is also called the "Midas Spoon" by the community.
 * Before Hyperion (and all the other Refined versions of Necron's Blade), this weapon dealt the most damage when paired with the Mage class in dungeons.
 * The Midas Staff (with paid) does more one-hit damage than a Hyperion, although it does less DPS (damage per second) than it, as it has a default one second cooldown.
 * Paired with the mage class cooldown reduction buff, the Midas Staff's damage can rival that of the Hyperion's in dungeons.
