Talk:Staff

Has anybody ever seen one of the following staves: Once again those are listed in the "Confusing Collection of outdated and wrong Information" aka the Prima Strategy Guide. --Tetris L 01:42, 3 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Wrathful Staff
 * Sacred Staff
 * Dead Staff


 * I believe that I have run accross a Dead Staff once or twice, but I'm not 100% positive. I don't have a character that uses them so they just get sold if I do find them.  --Rainith 02:57, 3 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I've definitely never seen a Wrathful or a Sacred Staff. I'm not sure about the Dead Staff, too, but maybe we're confusing it with the Dead Bow, wich I'm quite sure of exists. By the way, I also have never seen an Eternal Staff. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 04:26, 3 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Found a Dead Staff, linked to Divine Favor, causing Fire Damage. Seems like a Holy Staff in disguise. --Tetris L 19:28, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Speaking of wierd staves. I found a wierd (and awesome) Raven Staff that does Fire dmg, requires 9 divine favor, provides +29 health, improves casting speed, improves skill recharge for Air skills (17%) chance, and does +1 death magic. A complete and total mess of a staff! :) It's awesome though, and my Air ele is using it to deadly effects even though she has 0 divine favor. I have no clue what's going on here. what does "require 9 divine favor" mean if I can get all of it's benefits? :) --Karlos 19:47, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * The requirement only affects the damage you deal when attacking with the staff. I assume it is max dmg, 11-22? When you don't meet the requirement the Staff will only have a base damage of 2-3 or something like that (whatever the minimum damage is you can possible have on a staff). But right, you will still benefit from all the bonuses and modifiers. On a side note, I read a lot of people finding staffes linked to three attributes lately. Wonder if ANet changed something about that. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 19:58, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Eternal Staves, Raven Staves, Shadow Staves and Ghostly Staves seem to be TOTALLY random as far as attributes goes. I think it has always been like that. --Tetris L 21:15, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Do Eternal Staves exist? The various Eternal spellcasters appear to be wielding Ghostly Staves, so I'm thinking that Eternal Staves got renamed to Ghostly Staves after the beta. -- Gordon Ecker 15:24, 16 February 2006 (CST)

Just got a dead staff linked to Fire Magic (dropped by a Damned Cleric), so I'm going to change that one from Monk to the All Spellcasters one.--Rainith 13:06, 19 February 2006 (CST)

Pic for Proof:

Is it me or are Cruel Staves only available as collector and PVP items? And if they are only available from collectors (and as PVP items), then are there Dead, Ghostly, Shadow and Raven staves with a blood magic requirement? -- Gordon Ecker 14:59, 25 February 2006 (CST)
