While it’s considerably easy to survive the early game, it gets harder the more the seasons turn, and you have to leverage your wits and resourcefulness to beat bigger bosses and craft intricate machines that enhance your odds. Of these, magical items can come in handy. Here are some of the best you can craft.
10The Prestihatitator
To craft magical items, you will need a Prestihatitator, a tier one magic station that requires four rabbits, four boards, and one top hat to craft. Other magic stations include the Piratihatitator and the Hogus Porkusator, each accessible in a different version of the game.
Users of magic are advised to keep an eye on their sanity meter, as a number of magical items have a punishing effect on your character’s mental health. It’s one thing being stuck out in the wild fighting monsters and trying not to starve, and a whole other thing reaping nightmare fuel from graves to fight shadow monsters that steal your fire light. Crafting items and recipes at the Prestihatitator does however give 15 sanity, and is likely to conjure a rabbit that you can eat for dinner.
9Shadow Manipulator
In magic as in life, there’s always a thirst for more. The shadow manipulator is a tier two magic station that unlocks even more magical items and recipes to help you fend for yourself against the monstrous wilderness. To craft it, you need three living logs, seven nightmare fuels, and one purple gem.
Using the shadow manipulator, you may build a number of character-specific magic items, like Wilson’s meat effigy, Wanda’s alarming clock and backtrek watch, and Walter’s slow-down and freeze slingshot rounds. You can also make a number of specific items that help you take even more control of your environment, like the moon dial to get light out of the moon and dripple pipes to conjure rain or snow.
8Pan Flute
For those of you who aren’t born natural fighters and prefer the exploratory element of the game, the pan flute can come in extra handy. Crafted using five cut reeds, one rare mandrake and one rope, a pan flute can put your nearby enemies to sleep and is particularly useful when fighting large mobs for loot. If you have a penchant for delicious vengeance, you may also place gunpowder underneath them and ignite them for a good show.

A pan flute can also be used in your day-to-day harvesting, such as stealing tallbird or pengull eggs, shaving beefalos, or killing seasonal giants like the deerclops, moose/goose, antlion, or bearger. You can also use it in tandem with a feather hat to summon birds and put them to sleep, thus gaining easy access to a large banquet of free morsels and feathers.
7Belt Of Hunger
The belt of hunger is a wearable magic item that requires six slurper pelts, two ropes, and two nightmare fuels to craft. It is particularly useful on long hunts or at times of decreased access to food resources since wearing it reduces hunger loss by as much as 40 percent and restores two sanity per minute. You can also use a sewing kit to repair 63 percent of its durability.
If you’re playing Wolfgang, the belt of hunger can be a reliable ally, helping him lose only 67.5 hunger in his normal form and 135 in his mighty form per day.It can also help Wigfrid at times of low access to meat.
6Telelocator Staff
Requiring two living logs, four nightmare fuels, and two purple gems to craft, the telelocator staff is very similar to the weeping angels from Doctor Who, teleporting your enemies to a random spot on the map, safely away from you. To add insult to injury, your teleported mobs will also be struck by lightning before arriving at their new location, while other players will be struck by lightning twice, once before teleporting and another after.
When used in caves, it will cause rocks and gems to fall instead. you’re able to also combine it with a Telelocator Focus to travel across the map, saving the long journey home at the cost of three purple gems, which you will need to replace every time you teleport.
5Pugalisk Wand
Crafted with a Pugalisk skull, some bone shards, and two nightmare fuels, the Pugalisk wand is five times more powerful than the ice staff, generating four projectiles of hypnotic rays whose range and direction can be controlled using the mouse to freeze your enemies, and giving you time to counter blow or escape.

Likely because it’s such an overpowered magical item, the Pugalisk wand rots after four minutes, a comparably long time to other craftable magic items. It can however be used an infinite number of times in that duration at no decreased capacity, and returns bone shards upon rotting completely. Players have been known to use bundling wrap to increase its longevity.
4Living Artifact
Once you obtain its blueprint from the large iron hulk, the living artifact is easy to craft using six infused irons and some magic water. Seen as one of the most powerful magic wearables you’re able to craft, the living artifact lets you experience the unique world of Don’t Starve Together without having to worry about your sanity, hunger, or health.
Wearing it drops these meters, along with your inventory and crafting tabs, and replaces them with the item’s durability, which decreases by one every second for a total of three minutes. In their place, the suit gives you night vision, speed boost, and invincibility in boss battles, protecting you from damage penalty when attacked. Its strength is not without style, as the Iron Hulk soundtrack accompanies you wherever you go.
3Dark Sword
At the low cost of five nightmare fuels, one living log, and a sanity drain of 20 per minute, the dark sword deals 68 damage per hit for 100 uses. Considered one of the strongest melee weapons in-game, it is better placed in the hands of those who can handle it, such asWolfgang, Maxwell, Wigfrid, and Wanda, when she gets old.
you may also apply a number of skins to change the appearance of the dark sword, turning it into a corrupted blade, twisted dagger, or the ever-fearsome lightsbane.
2Seaworthy and Skyworthy
Used exclusively in the Shipwrecked and the Hamlet DLCs respectively, they both serve similar roles, connecting the surface world to their new world version within the constant, and are most commonly used to skip undesirable seasons where survival is made harder.
To craft a Skyworthy, you need four nightmare fuels, four living logs, and a can of silly string. For a Seaworthy, you similarly need four nightmare fuels and four living logs, along with a Sea Worther. A Seaworthy can however be found on an island far away from the center of the Shipwrecked world.
1Life Giving Amulet
Compared to other magic items, the life-giving amulet exists aplenty. You can dig it up from graves, get it from a slot machine, or damage an Ancient Pseudoscience Station with a hammer for a lucky drop. You can also craft it using three gold nuggets, two nightmare fuels, and one red gem.
A player who dies wearing the amulet can use it as a ghost to resurrect themselves at the cost of 50 health, two-thirds of hunger maximum, and half of the sanity maximum, and rest easy that they’re safe where they wake as the amulet also puts their enemies to sleep. If you are hurt wearing it, however, you will recover two sanity per minute, and five health at the expense of five hunger every 30 seconds until they are fully healed.
