Tips

• The Walking Cane can also be used as a weapon, although it is amongst the weakest in the game, as it only deals half the damage of a Spear when used as a weapon. However, it has an infinite durability, so it can be swung indefinitely.
• The Walking Cane's speed boost puts the Character on the same level as many other creatures who could otherwise outrun them, including Followers like Chester. This is amplified by both natural and Cobblestone roads, for a combined increase of movement speed by 62.5%, allowing players to outrun most mobs in the game.
• The Walking Cane is essential in some fights, as it allows the player to often pull out a single additional hit before needing to dodge the attack. For example, the bonus movement speed allows the player to deal more damage to Treeguards and all of seasonal giants, assuming the player is used to changing the weapon and the Walking Cane during the fight.
  • Thanks to its utility during fights, PC players are recommended to switch their weapon to the Walking Cane using the numbers on their keyboards when kiting (more preferably 1, 2 or 3 since they are close to the WASD keys), and then switch back to the weapon when hitting.
• A Walking Cane's infinite durability and high attack speed makes it a decent weapon against some low HP and easy to stunlock mobs, such as Rabbits, Spiders, Bees, larger mobs that do not fight back such as the Lureplants or some very fragile entities such Ancient Fuelweaver's Woven Shadows.
• One can stack the speed bonus with the Magiluminescence to have a total increase of 50% movement speed while both items are worn, which means that while on a road, the player will have a 95% speed boost. This can further be increased with WX-78's overload.
  • The speed multiplier is the product of all multipliers of equipped items and roads and characters.
• The Walking Cane can be found on a Set Piece.

Trivia

• The Walking Cane was added in The End Is Nigh update.
• Walani's examine text for the Walking Cane is a reference to the Latin phrase "Veni, vidi, vici", which translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered".
