On use the | On use, the {{name}} will create a staircase going 20 strata deep. This is, however, a one time use and will consume the item. This is normally the only way to create {{favilink|Stairs down}} or {{favilink|Stairs up}} (however, see {{F|Burrowing Claws}}). | ||
Areas that were not generated prior to a {{name}} digging through them will treat the new stairs as a guideline for room and cave generation. For this reason, the new stairs will typically connect to the rest of the caves without the need for other digging tools. | |||

* Use a {{name}} to quickly descend into the underground or through procedural dungeons like {{favilink|Grit Gate}} and the {{favilink|Asphalt Mines}}. This makes accessing high-tier underground zones much easier. | |||
* Because it places {{favilink|Stairs up}} adjacent to {{favilink|Stairs down}} the borer's spiral tunnel allows the player to scout many zones and easily escape any hostiles they see. This can be a quick way to meet [[Legendary creature|legendary creatures]] and snatch items of loot. | |||
