The '''Staircase''' is a [[Crafting|craftable]] item used to instantly create a ladder that leads down one level in [[The Mines]] or [[Skull Cavern]]. It cannot be placed on level 0 or 120 of the mines.

The '''Staircase''' is a [[Crafting|craftable]] item used to instantly create a ladder that leads down one floor in [[the Mines]] or [[Skull Cavern]]. It cannot be placed on floors 0 or 120 of the mines or in the [[Quarry Mine]].

Staircases work just like the game-supplied down-ladders. Each one works only for one use. Leaving the mine or returning to a higher level will result in the staircase being permanently gone. In addition, once a staircase has been placed, it cannot be picked up again, even if it has not been used.

Stone can be bought from [[Robin]] at the [[Carpenter's Shop]] if the player does not have enough. In game year 1, the cost is 99 Stones &times; {{price|20}} = {{price|1980}} per staircase. In game year 2+, the cost is 99 Stones &times; {{price|100}} = {{price|9900}} per staircase. The [[Desert Trader]] will trade staircases for one [[Jade]] each on Sundays.

==Tips==

==Tips==

*Use a staircase to evade one or more monster fights, especially [[The Mines#Infested Floors|infested floors]]. Some mine levels can be especially challenging. Consider upgrading [[weapons]] instead, though.

*Staircases can be used to escape difficult enemies or descend quickly in [[the Mines]] or [[Skull Cavern]].

*Use staircases in the [[Skull Cavern]] to descend quickly to lower levels for greater chances of valuable items, like [[Iridium Ore]] and [[Prismatic Shard]]s.

*Using [[Jade]] from [[Crystalarium]]s for staircases at the [[Desert Trader]] on Sundays and putting them in [[deconstructor]]s can net the player massive amounts of [[stone]] quickly.

*When rapid descending/monster evading in the [[Skull Cavern]] note that staircases cannot be placed on the brickwork patterns and tillable areas in the floors of the cavern.

*Using jade from [[Crystaliariums|Crystalarium]] for staircases and putting them in a [[Deconstructor]] can net you massive amounts of stone quickly if you have a few of them.

 

 

Placing a staircase in the pants slot of the player's inventory turns it into [[Secrets#Lucky Purple Shorts|a secret clothing item]].
