The Astral Staff is a type of semi-universal staff, requiring the primary attribute of its respective caster profession, except for Mesmer where it is linked to Inspiration Magic. It has a straight shaft which tapers to a point, around which is a worm-like wrapping. The staff is animated, the animation being a highlight or glow in the wrapping that travels from the base to the head of the staff.

[edit] Acquisition

The Astral Staff can be found:

[edit] Dye

Dye affects the whole staff. The shaft dyes very darkly to the color applied but the worm-like wrapping usually dyes to near the opposite color to the one applied. It is dyed yellow by default.

[edit] Notes

• You must have your shader quality set to high in your Guild Wars graphics settings to see the animation.
