Magick · Spirit · Rare
Rare Oscelda coastal staff requiring Spirit 18 and Grace attunement. Fragments drop from Crypt Sarcophagi in the Circade crypt, as well as Enclave Votives at Tier 3 (Alca's Children and Kith of Kings). Craft at Tuvalkane using Knotwood×20 and Moranite×6. The staff's defining trait is its high charged Magick burst — at 198 charged damage it outperforms similarly leveled Spirit staves for single-target burst rotations. Post-Preludes 15: 44 ATK, 198 charged. The coastal thematics tie to Oscelda lore, where sea-adjacent magick traditions produce staves tuned for sustained Spirit-based spell weaving rather than rapid-fire spam.
The Erstroot is an Uncommon Wevetroot Magick staff requiring 16 Spirit, obtained primarily from the Wraith of Wastes encounter in Sidae's Stake. With 40 base ATK, 180 charged attack, 12 stagger, and 6% smite, it is a premier Spirit-gated caster staff for dedicated Oscelda builds in Preludes 15. Farm whole-weapon previews from Wraith of Wastes (normal and Cogah variants) — the wraith drops a complete weapon preview that can be picked up directly. After acquiring, Refine at Tuvalkane with Chordstones for enhanced stats. Purchase from Avakot for 220 Dracs as a backup. The Erstroot is part of the Wazzard set, distinguished by its 6% smite chance — the highest among mid-tier Spirit staves. The lore describes it as a witching-staff plucked from the Wastegraves by the Wazzard's own hand — a creeping root steeped in ichor. Whether Ode'n corruption, darkened magick sap, or an ancient curse from the Waste Wraith himself grants it such power remains unknown. The Erstroot serves as the Spirit caster progression after The Alder (7 Spirit, Founders) and before endgame staves like Seathorn. Effective in Neathuuns Dungeon and elite hunting content where high Spirit damage is essential. Pairs with Oscelda and Garren Rood pacts for maximum spell damage output.
