 * The astral staff is a nice stave skin, also one of the few valuable stave skins. Isamu Kurosawa 14:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Prefix bonus?
What's the prefix bonus on the staff? All I see is a HCT Water inscription and an Enchanting suffix. HeavenMonkey 11:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * something might be wrong here on german the staff looks like this:
 * http://www.guildwiki.de/wiki/Eisbluts_Kriegsstab
 * Energy +10
 * Cold damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Water Magic)
 * Halves skill recharge of spells (Chance: 20%)
 * Halves casting time of Water Magic spells (Chance: 40%)
 * Enchantments last 20% longer
 * so 40% HCT? theres something wrong i think... --82.82.84.102 16:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Should be written like in the Skybringer's stats. --numma_cway 17:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, its been comfermed to be +40%, http://www.guildwarsrealm.net/images/com_sobi2/clients/194_img.jpg which i am not sure makes it better or not... because a 20%/20% spilt can get possiable 1/4 casting time... SabreWolf 22:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * strange, when taking a look into the german wiki again, they say that it'd be a translation bug (and explain the diffrence). Are you sure this picture (showing the item with english description, but also with the 40% chance) is real? &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 23:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah right. The first guy to add it listed 40%. Then someone split it into two 20% mods and then someone removed it :| HeavenMonkey 11:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone been able to get one of these, and obtain a quarter-cast? That'd confirm if internally, it's still 20/20, or if Anet just goofed. ~Seef II &lt;ℹ|۞&gt; 18:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Someone on Guru claims to have gotten a QCT off, . I'd like to hear an independent confirmation myself.  --Valshia 06:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A couple of us on the "other wiki" did some tests, and barring the possibility that we were both really, really unlucky, you can't get a QCT off of this staff. On a side note, is having a unique mode really an "anomaly"?[[Image:User Entrea Sumatae Sig.png]]Entrea Sumatae   [Talk]  02:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * IMO, QCT is a myth. There is a hard cap in guildwars on HSR, an absolute maximum of 50% even through skill use...just look at your run of the mill perma-shadow assassin.  I find it extremely difficult to believe they wouldn't impose the exact same limitation on HCT knowing full well there are ways, multiplicatively, to go higher than 50%.  That and there is an absolute limit on how low a spells casting time can actually go, they can't be zero.  98.219.48.111 14:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

We need Duplicate
We need a guide to duplicating this. Treesbyty 11:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I would prefer someone telling me why they suddenly add such unique bonuses to greens. I could not care less actually, but making things really unique in the sense of not replicable at least in stats is a bad move. I hope they do not want to make things more "unique" or meaningful for us in this way. This can only end up in a mess, so better stop it right now, ANet. --Longasc 23:20, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * actually there are a bunch of prophecies greens that aren't replicable as well. The diffrence is that this one uses a completely new modifier, those i am talking about only use existing ones, but twice from the same upgrade slot. (Take a look at Garbok Handsmasher's items for an example.) &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 23:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, now you can all quit whining about the "uniqueness" of this staff, as it was merely a wording error. The item description should reflect the actual mod, which is two HCT20%, one from "of Mastery" wrapping, and one from "Aptitude not Attitude". --ChristopherRodrigues 20:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * with this two HCT20% mod on the same staff it don't make a 40%HCT staff ; it makes a 32%HCt + 4%quarterCT. don't know if this staff was like this before, with the two mod that could combine 20% by 20% of the time.--Anksa 06:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm I always thought it was 36% half cast and 4% quarter. What's the exact math on this? I'm bad at math so would really like someone who knows it to type down the actual calculation.89.172.137.199 16:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Lame. They nerfed it even though it wasn't imbalanced, just different. Now it's just more of the same easily copiable lameness like all other modern greens, not worth keeping, going wts... --Yawg 20:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The chance of both mods failing are .8*.8 or .64, so the odds of at least one mod working is .36 or 36%. There is a .2*.2 or .04 (4%) chance of both mods working.  Note that this 4% is part of the 36%, so the net results is a 32% HC and 4% QC. --Jeremy Winston 17:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I just reread the description on the main page. It implies a 36% HC plus a 4% QC.  That should be changed.  Maybe I'll just do it. (Ooooh!  My first Wiki edit.. I'm sure it'll be reverted) --Jeremy Winston 17:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Item is a myth
I've been looking for this for hours, tried the most different farming builds on this guy. Nothing works, it's not farmable, no one sells this.
 * Remember to sign your comments with four tildes (~ *4). I got this staff from Spafrod in normal mode the first or second time I killed the guy, while on a Vanguard quest.  Didn't have to farm it at all.  Anyway, if you still want this staff, I have it lying about.  Come find me in-game, my character names are on my profile.  ~ A R A ~ 03:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
