Replica

This item cannot be replicated for several reasons:

• The universal "20% chance of halving casting time of spells" mod is not available outside of the unique Decade weapons.
• There are no other mesmer staves that deal fire damage.
• An Adept staff head on a mesmer staff would not affect Energy Storage spells.

Notes

• Like other equipment with multiple attribute requirements, the damage property will count once no matter how many different requirements are met.
• This staff leaves behind a cutting trail of orange particles with each auto attack when the wielder is not under the effects of a form or tonic. Its auto attack projectiles also leave a trail of orange particles.
• The inherent bonus HCT effect during events is only active during certain events (Canthan New Year, Anniversary Celebration, Dragon Festival, Wayfarer's Reverie, Halloween, and Wintersday).
• Without attribute points invested in Energy Storage, the inherent Energy Storage from this weapon provides 15 additional maximum Energy.

Anomaly.Unlike Decade Rod "All the World", Decade Rod "Antipode Alloy", Decade Rod "Undying Service", Decade Staff "Astral Pillar", Decade Staff "Underworld Pillar" and all non-Decade weapons, this staff's appearance is not changed when the wielder is under the effects of a weapon spell.

Trivia

• Introduced in the April 15, 2025 update.
