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. Staircases cannot be stacked in [[Inventory|inventory]] or [[Chest|chests]].

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. If you leave the mine or return to a higher level and look for one you placed earlier, you will find that it is gone. In addition, once a staircase has been placed, it cannot be picked up again, even if it has not been used.

Staircases work just like the game-supplied down-ladders. Each one works only for one use. Leaving the mine or returning to a higher floor 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.

If you do not have enough [[Stone]] to craft a staircase, you can buy Stone from [[Robin]] at the [[Carpenter's Shop]]. In game year 1, the cost is 99 Stones × {{price|20}} = {{price|1980}} per staircase. In game year 2+, the cost is 99 Stones × {{price|50}} = {{price|4950}} per staircase.

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

==Use==

==Tips==

Staircases can be used to pass through mine levels at any time (one level per staircase). You can use as many as you have or can make, repeatedly. But making them can prove to be a heavy use of resources, so it is usually best to reserve them for occasions where there is enough need to justify the expense. They are an assist to situations of greater challenge or difficulty. These tend to present themselves more often in later stages of the game.

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

*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.

==Tips==

==History==

*Use a staircase to evade one or more monster fights. Some mine levels can be especially challenging. Consider upgrading your weapon instead, though.

{{History|1.4|Staircases can now be stacked in [[inventory]] and [[chest]]s.}}

*Use staircases in the [[Skull Cavern]] to return multiple times to the same level, to give you repeated chances for or quantities of valuable items, like [[Iridium Ore]] and [[Prismatic Shard]]s.

{{History|1.6|Fixed bug where placing a staircase in the pants slot of the player's inventory would turn it into [[Secrets#Lucky Purple Shorts|a secret clothing item]].}}
