Curse

as we all know, save the possible drop from zaishen chests (if even possible), bo staves are only found in cantha, and it seems most req9 perfect ones are found throughout earlier parts of cantha.

so does anyone know where might be the best place to farm bo staves and if possible, what kind of build would be most appropriate?

i've found bo staves for all my casting professions except necromancer, and it seems no one has a decent req9 bo staff to sell for that profession...so i'd appreciate any help on where there might be the greatest encounter with bo staves in nm OR hm (presumably the latter).

I found that bo staves drop a lot from jade brotherhood, you can try farming them in HM in wajjun bazaar

anyway you should try afflicted HM.

eh, to each his own. i find bo to be the best looking skin for a staff because i'm a fan of minimalism. dyed black or white, they're subtle enough to not overcomplicate (draw attention away from) your armor but still classy enough to stick out.

They also drop from Minister chos estate which is pretty easily Soloed with a N/Mo or MO/N and maybe also a few other x/N proffessions.

I've gotten quite a few, but they nearly always drop as 20/10 instead of fastcast for a certain attribute.

distilledwill · May 29, 2008, 01:42 PM // 13:42

I kinda like them aswell, try HM Jade Brotherhood, Minister Chos and Afflicted.

Yep those are the best things to find them really although I lean towards Minister chos in HM since I've gotten a lot from there.

Also do-able by Rt/Mo; just look up the 330 Ritualist build.

luminoire you're not the only one that likes bo staves, I've tried farming for them before but no luck

Although I didn't hardcore farm but only bad thing for me is that ones that drop in factions would be non-insc, so getting one with the right mods I need for pvp would need a lot of luck. The only two ways I know to get an insc one is from zchest or from pvp weapon unlocks.

I might have a go farming some of the places people have suggested later on just for fun. Would be interested to see what kinda bo staves ppl find.

Magikarp · May 29, 2008, 07:59 PM // 19:59

i know this isn't the place, but hell, if any of you find a maxed (any color) prot bo staff, please nab me IGN: akuma dakura.

as for what the op said, i seriously use my warrior every day trying to farm chos HM for bo staffs. dyed black, they rule the staff kingdom! them and maxed paper fans are like trying to pull teeth

Over 9 million xp and counting in minister cho's.
I have had a lot of 19/19 19/20 20/19 q9 bo's of all requirements. I also like Bo staffs, Really want one for my napolean dancing rit ^^

W/N Fastest time without Killing 2 Stationary. 5 Minutes. Killing Stationary 8 Minutes. Killing Cho himself (sometimes a chest spawns at his feet.) 12 Minutes.

Bo Fairfield · May 29, 2008, 08:24 PM // 20:24

If you have any ele Bo Staves left, I'd really love to buy one. Ever since factions came out, I've wanted a good req/mod one because of my name

If you want Bo Staves. Go do Halycon Farming they have decent Drop there. The Amount of Locked Chests that appear every run you will get one. This is where I got my Warrior MM hero Staff. Yes it a Bo Staff that I found from opening Chests. If you need of Bo Staff Gold, Farm Halycon.

lorazcyk · May 30, 2008, 12:05 AM // 00:05

Halycon farming?

Anyway, I always wanted a good bo staff, Aeris from FF7 uses one, and I've always wanted one in real life :x

Please explain this Halycon thingy? ^.^ Kthnx
