Spiritbinder

The Spiritbinder is the Ritualist Pre-order Item (Staff) included with the Guild Wars Factions Pre-Order Package. It should be noted that the Spiritbinder can be modified with Staff upgrades and comes premodified with a +5 Insightful Staff Head.

Note

 * Before the March 23, 2006 update, the Spiritbinder behaved improperly. It did not give the base +10 energy to the wielder, and it fired arrows instead of the expected magical missile. This has since been fixed in the aforementioned update.
 * This item is always customized for the character that the /bonus command was used with. However, this command can be reused on each of your characters, consistently respawning the weapon. It is not salvagable for the Insightful Staff Head, however.
 * Upgrades can no longer be applied to this item. Not sure if this was done in a previous update, or if this is considered a bug similar to the dragon fangs.
 * Although this (or any other Customized item) seems to be Customized and only usable by you, it can be equipped and used by Heroes.
