I heard that the Light Staff is Uber for bst to use for charming purposes. Is there a latent effect that isnt shown or some other reason that this staff is so good for bst?? I see the Chr bonus but the Monster Signa seems way better.
Someone please explain


Light Staff for Bst
# Oct 21 2006 at 4:43 AM Rating: Decent
The only hidden effects that I know of for elemental staves is a +15% (or 10, not sure) increase in any magic that is based on that particular element.

So if I cast Blizard for 100 points of damage, with the staff it would be 115 points of damage. If Charm is based on light elemental abilities, it is possible that the light staff will help with the charm rate.

Heh, right now these Staves(the regular ones mind you) are around 350-400k on my server. Like two weeks ago I was going to buy one since my white mage was almost close enough to use it, and decided to put it off until then. In a week and a half time it went from 95k to 400k+ I am so sad, I shoulda bought it then :(. The +1 is 2mil. Every NQ staff on my server is now 2mil.

Aside from Carby costs, this also boosts Dia/Dia2's initial DMG. I believe it also increases the amount of DEF it strips from based on experience. When using a Dark Staff, Dia/Dia2 was weakened. There's many hidden effects. Does anyone know if this staff effects Refresh?

Ok, bout to hit 50 on my WHM and I've been looking at the options. This thing is going for 200k+ on Asura right now and I was wondering... Is it really worth it for a WHM to get this? Dark Staff I can understand, but I have been looking at the AF1 and Holy Shield combo.. and it seems a lot more inticing for the money o_O
Help me out if ya can :P

Is it worth it? hrmmm... well i can say that when i was lvl 50 i had my Af Blessed Hammer and a Divine Sheild equiped.. CureIII would heal for 190 HPs, once i hit 51 i switched to a Light Staff and CureIII then did 210...so It does power up your curing potency...but on the other hand it doesn't give u a MP or MND boost like the Shield and AF hammer do...so my MPs went from 611 to 592 while equipping the Light Staff...tbh there isnt much of a difference if not for the extra 20HPs it gives when u cure someone, but as i said u lose Mps...
I really like my Light Staff, but if u're a bit short on cash then i suggest u invest in a Dark Staff first for faster MP regenration and then a Light Staff if u can afford it^^

Monster signa +8chr

Light staff +10light.... skill, don't know what to call it.

Apollo's Staff +15 light skill

Think of the signa giving somthing like +4light skill. The saves are much much better, and if your an Endgamer switching to a different job, or a rich new player... Buy the Appolo's for somthing like 850k and switch it for you Monster signa... I think you just might have to go wash your pants after you see how amazing the difference is.

OKies well heres the run down on a couple Staff prices: ( These are the prices on Bismark and they often change)

Light Staff: 110k
Dark staff: 150k
Ice Staff: 70k
Thunder staff: 160k
Fire staff: 250k
Water staff: 250k


Keep in mind that the prices change all the time.. i noticed yesterday that lightstaff was selling for 50 k more (at 160k) but im sure they will drop again. So all you people on Bismark wanting this staff, just wait it out till the price drops again ^^~

The proof that this helps Charms is in the game itself. The NPC in San d'Oria who tells you about the elements and their effects tells you that Light element defense helps you defend against Charm, which means less chance of being charmed and/or shorter charms when they do happen to you.

That means that Charm is based on Light, so a hidden trait of a Light Staff (which I hear from many other BST) is that your Charm rate increases and mobs are easier to take under control.

This is rumored (and proven in certain cases) to be better than a Monster Signa, plus it's a helluva lot cheaper. So for you BST wanting to not fail in an emergency or with linking mobs, get this bad boy over the Signa.

Light Staff = the best things a BST can have, don't doubt it, I used signa since 20 and have used Staff since 51 and I would even say its better. Also great for curing, Taming and every other ability a BST has since all BST abilities are Light Based.

My 71 BST friend used a signa till 70 then decided what the hell, tried a light staff, and sent me a message saying "Why didn't you tell me it was so good??" ... I'm like "I did >.>"

We know that all elemental staves have a hidden attribute that boosts the strength of the corresponding spells. For example, if a BLM equips an Ice Staff his blizzard spells will do more damage.

Doesn't it then go without saying that a Light Staff will increase the strength of cure spells? The Cure +10% comment in the item description seems redundant to me. Any thoughts?

if u equip this and cure undead, it increases the power of it as if it were a nuke. if u cure a PC the +10% kicks in. I haven't been able to verify if the hidden effect and the listed effect stack when cure nukeing.

Actually, the staves are only proven to enhance offensive effects, not defensive or neutral ones. In fact, I have yet to see any good evidence for them enhancing anything that isn't offensive related except through direct bonus such as the +10% cure potency.

My guess is that the "Cure" potency +10% is a bit more effective than the "hidden" boost for light spells.

I am not sure if they would stack or not though.

Actually, this staff DOES stack with Lightsday, for those who havent understood how Lightsday works, its not a 100% +10% Cure Potency for Lightsday, its most likely about 50% chance or so, I have a light staff for my WHM, and Cure4 with it normally heals for 411hp, on Lightsday I've seen occasionally 452hp heals. So for all you people who says Light Staff isnt worth buying for White Mages, screw you, Light staff saves LOTS of mp for WHM, Cure5 = 608 heal without, 668 with, and as for mp waste for different spells, do Hp heal and divide it with mp cost, you will see that the Cure4 and Cure5 spells are worth casting much earlier than you would believe, and Light Staff makes it even MORE worth it.

yes it is useful for bard, but mob resistant depends on chr too. Bard should have Signa, Light,Earth and Dark staff.

Comfirmed: This does reduces Carbuncles Perpetuation cost by 2. Pretty cool, worth getting.

There is also rumor (and some proof) that this staff is better for Bards than the Monster Signa. Almost all your offensive/debuff songs are Light based. The 7CHR difference is more than made up by the added Light Damage effect. There are some threads under the bard forums on Killingifrit.com if you want more info.

I'd have difficulty believing this.

I have a dark staff and the dark damage is equivalent to a sporadic extra damage when using it as a melee weapon - much like the fire damage on a flame sword.

This is not a great bonus to your melee ability as a) it does not activate every strike and b) staffs aren't the best thumping sticks anyhow.

There may be a hidden attribute I am not aware of that helps you like that - but the light damage will refer to an en-light effect in melee combat.

He means the hidden effect that enhances the damage dealt by spells, many people think it also affects songs. A bard in my Ls got this staff for that reason but im not sure if hes tested this theory yet.

According to the bst forums this is true. Light staff also helps with any light based spell (ex: charm). Many bsts will take this staff over the monster signa and see a significant increase in their ability to charm reliably. So this is a good whm, bst, and I would asume brd staff.

The Cure +10% Stacks with the +Cure% on other Items (Medicine Ring..) But NOT with lightsday.

It has a hidden Carbuncle -2 Perpetuation Cost Stat (As WHM/SMN that's free carbuncle, add that with an avatar belt and you are Refreshing MP with carbuncle out) It also seems to enhance carbuncle's blood pacts.

No, you do not get "Refresh" with negative prepetuation cost. You simply assume this, for what reason I don't know but your assumption is not valid.

I bought one not too long ago. Definitely a good item for WHM.

Doesn't stack with Lightsday though, unfortunately. ><

My friend let me use his.. Basically it's a "lightsday" all day type thing... I'd like to see what happens when it's not Lightsday.
