Staff of Sparking
Cost: - 2,500
Weapon Slot: 1
Max Load: 21
Reload time (sec): 3
LC Attack: Fires a single electrical bolt that travels straight toward its target and ricochets up to three times before detonating.
RC Attack: Fires five electrical bolts that bounce off any solid object (up to three times), causing damage to any player or creature they touch along the way. Each bolt arcs and drops with gravity.
Range (ft): LC-1000 RC-100
Speed (ft/sec): LC-200 RC-50
Damage: LC-19 RC-7 x 5 sparks
Attacks per sec: LC-2 RC-2
Cost (ammo): LC-1 charge RC-3 charges
- The staff of sparking is fairly inexpensive and makes a good early magic weapon.
- It is next to useless outdoors, but makes a good tunnel, corner or hallway weapon. Its sparks scatter and bounce off nearby surfaces.
- Because of this weapon’s ricochet effect, you can hit enemies that you can’t see indoors.
- The right-click attack has very short range, but each of its five sparks delivers damage.
- This is a good counter-weapon when fighting someone who’s using a line-of-sight weapon. Your opponent has to see you to hit you, but the opposite isn’t true.
- If several monsters or enemies are gathered in an area, spray the wall with a line of right-click attacks.

Fire Ring Staff
Cost: - 3,000
Weapon Slot: 1
Max Load: 21
Reload time (sec): 3
LC Attack: Fires a magical projectile that travels straight toward its target. Explodes for area damage.
RC Attack: Creates a 10-second ring of magical fire around you which damages any object, player or monster that gets too close (although it can never hurt you). Excellent for close-quarters fighting.
Range (ft): LC-400 RC-400
Speed (ft/sec): LC-200 RC-200
Damage: LC-25 10 every RC-1/2 second
Attacks per sec: LC-2 RC-1/12
Dmg radius (ft): LC-10 RC-10
Cost (ammo): LC-1 charge RC-1 charge
- A favourite of both players and testers, the fire ring staff offers both ranged and close-up offence. The left-click attack launches rapid-fire fireballs, and the right-click attack creates a ring of fire around the player.
- The left-click attack is best used at long range. However, be careful when firing to avoid walls, doors and ceilings to your present location. It can easily damage you.
- The fire ring can serve as a defensive measure if someone is rushing you. Whoever touches the ring takes damage. You can turn the tables and rush at an enemy to achieve the same effect.
- The fire ring lasts 10 seconds. It remains active even when you switch weapons. Take advantage of this and equip your melee weapon just after activating the ring. You can rush at someone for a melee fight and damage your opponent both with fire and your hand weapon. For maximum effect, try this with your initial ranged weapon by firing at his feet first - that slows him down.
- If you suspect that an enemy lurks on the other side of a barrier, turn on your fire ring and stand next to the door or wall. Your target will take damage through the barrier if he’s close enough.
- For missions that require you to break through a door or wall, you can use the right-click fire ring attack to burst through. This saves you from having to arm your melee weapon if you’d rather have your ranged weapon active, saving a second or two of time.

Dragon Staff
Cost: 10,000 (May only be purchased by druid)
Weapon Slot: 1
Max Load: 30
Reload time (sec): 3
LC Attack: Launches a fireball toward its target that explodes and causes significant area-effect damage, plus a 4-foot pushback.
RC Attack: Pressing and holding the button incites a stream of dragon fire to spray from the end of the staff, causing devastating area damage like a medieval flamethrower.
Range (ft): LC-500 RC-20
Speed (ft/sec): LC-100 RC-20
Damage: LC-30 RC-33
Attacks per sec: LC-3 RC-2
Dmg radius (ft): LC-15 RC-5
Cost (ammo): LC-1 charge RC-1 charge
- The druid’s unique weapon mimics the two fire-based attacks of the dragon itself. The left-click fireball attack delivers great damage over a large area. It can damage opponents through walls, doors and other barriers.
- This weapon’s high rate of fire makes it a good “slop” weapon for newer players who want to get into the game and make kills from a distance.
- The right-click flamethrower attack has short range, but great damage.
- The best way to use this weapon is when someone is rushing you for a melee attack. Use the left-click fireball attack from distance, then switch to the flamethrower when your enemy gets close.
- The dragon staff might be the best damage-through-the-wall weapon, since both its attacks have an area effect.
- You can also use this staff to clear out camping spots or take out someone just around the corner.
