For quite some time I had my eyes on this staff, now I finally got it:

What do you think of this:

Given all the ones dropping from endchest and z-chest are primary attribute only this is quite a rarity.
Despite being quite a common and unpopular skin (insc q9 Energy Storage are like 5-10k tops) this one should be high end (100k+)
What could have dropped it? I'm clueless here, I believe Shadow Army in NF cannot. Need more opinions on it's actual rarity.

Yawgmoth your on the same track as I am.

I think this is an ultra rare staff with a mighty crappy skin.

In another forum I was told that non-primary shaddow-staffs are not that rare, but I researched a lot of auction houses and never found anything like it.

They sell energy storage / divine etc. very cheap from time to time, so why should they toss away the more usable attributes like fire- or deathmagic. This makes no sense at all.

As for the value: I have no clue, but I sure as hell wouldn´t sell this for 40k

Um, I had no idea when I read this what the rarity of non-primary-att shadow staves were, but I looked on both wikis, and I'm sorry to say that while I don't know if the zchest drops non-primary-att ones, the fissure chest most certainly does. In fact, the first two drops listed on the official talk page were illusion and earth (both zchest drops were energy storage). The official page lists them as having pretty much all attributes, and not only is there no mention of only having primary attributes on either, but the unofficial one actually says "They come with requirements for all spellcasting attributes" (emphasis added)

So yeah, sorry about that, but it doesn't seem like it'd be worth much. Just was interested and thought I'd look it up.

Peace! ^^

Sry but the "I looked on wiki statement" won´t cut it here.

Read it again: It says droped from an "obsidian chest" which means non-inscriptible.

You know that those wiki-sites are written by GW-players and as long as no one disputes the statements, they are there forever.

For years inofficial-wiki said that celestial compass and dragon shield will drop in Dalada Upland, which turned out to be one of the most brilliant scams I know of. Thounsands of pugs ran this area ...

FoW-Chest is heavily farmed since the uw-update. Even by myself. Never saw one drop.

I know that there are "some" of the non-primaries shaddow staffs out there, but look in ventary´s corner or any other gw auction house. Where are they?
Inscriptible fire or curses is always useful. Why sell divine offering / soulreaping etc. but throw away the "good" attributes.
Makes no sense.

This staff is ultra-rare.

More opinions?

Considering this staff seems like it's not actually supposed to exist, toss it on high end with no b/o and see where it goes. You'll probably get a better idea than people here trying to guess a price/debate its rarity.
