Serpent Staff

Serpent Staff is weapon 3 of 30 for the Mage, and it drops in Noria, Elbeland, Devias.

Lore

The Serpent Staff is shaped like a snake coiled around its own shaft, head raised at the top. The forest mages made it in imitation of Noria's serpents, which, they claimed, knew paths of mana that men never found.

For the Mage, it is a light staff that seems to point at the enemy on its own. It falls from the Stone Golem, boss of Noria, and from the hordes of Elbeland and Devias.

Forging and refining

At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
