Drop rate increase?
# Nov 11 2012 at 1:17 AM Rating: Decent
Not sure if the drop rate was increased or I just got very lucky. I was after the bard epic piece when we killed him and he dropped not one but TWO mage staffs and the bard epic piece.
Staff of Water was my worst camp ever

I don't care that peopkle say Quillmane is the worst, I think Phinigel Autropos is the worst. You have a 12-ish hour wait betweenspawns for him to even drop this rare staff. My experience went as follows:
6/14 - Thursday - swam around in Kedge for 9 hours waiting for Phinny to spawn
6/14 - kill time 8:21 pm - no epic pieces
6/15 - 8:00 spawn - Blue Crystal Staff
7:04 pm - no epic pieces
6/16 - 6:00 am - no epic pieces
5:11 pm - no epic pieces
6/17 - 4:15 am - no epic pieces
4:00 pm - robe of the kedge x 2
6/18 - 3:36 am - no epic pieces
2:41 pm - Blue Crystal Staff
6/19 - 2:05 am - no epic pieces
1:20 pm - kedge backbone
6/20 - 12:11 am - morphed into clicknar scout, no epic pieces
12:00 pm - no epic pieces
11:40 pm -no epic pieces
6/21 - 10:57 am - robe of the kedge
10:14 pm - Blue Crystal Staff
6/22 - 9:22 am - kedge backbone
8:52 pm - Blue Crystal Staff
6/23 - 8:02 am - Blue Crystal Staff
7:30 pm - Staff of Elementary Mastery: Water

Finally, after 20 kills in a row, the staff drops. He had a large staff graphic for the last kill, so I was very excited to start killing him. :) Keep at it mages!
Progression Server - Staff Drop

I play on Vulak'Aerr server. My 60 mage has pursued the epic from Kunark start and I have seen 30 kills on Phinny. 4 Staves dropped and were won on Random by other mages in the group. Thus it has taken me many many kills to see one drop for me, which it did last night.

Rumors to discredit -

1) You will always see the staff when he drops it. -- FALSE -- last night he has a wand in his fin and I was ready to have to kill him again the next day. Looking in his loot there was that tell-tale brown stick with a blue tip and VOILA! - i finally had my staff. This also was true on one of the other 4 times I saw it drop. so in 2 of 5 times I saw this item drop, it was NOT in his fin at spawn.

2) He has a 12 hour spawn timer. -- FALSE -- both a guild wizard and myself used a rule like this - get the exact time he dies (lets say 12:00 PM) and add 11 hours to that (so, 11:00 PM) and subtract 15 minutes, making it 10:45 minutes (and thus 10:45 PM) that you need to be there, in his lair with your force to kill him. You may have to wait up to as much as 1 hr 15 minutes but Phinny spawns within that "window" every time. On Progression server, where this drop is contested on a regular basis, this may givean advantage or not.

3) his placeholder is the Swirlspine Guardian -- FALSE -- SSG was up prior to Phinny spawn and we had 2 of them. A competitor came in and aggroed 3 of the 4 seahorses up above the pit and we killed them and then 2 SSG's spawned in the middle of the lower Star pedastle. Thats right - 2 of them. We killed them and a few mins later Phinny spawned in the West Alcove where he has always spawned for me 30 times.

Stay with it mages. This guy does spawn. All you Bards and Wizards and Rogues needing drops for Epics, stay with it. I usually maintained a regular supply of those in bank for Multiquesting those other epics. They DO drop, just irregularly.

Stick-to-it-tiveness is the key - eventually you get what you are after.

Good Huunting all!!

Who gets to decide if something is rare, very rare, or extremely rare. The Mage staff has not dropped once in 23 times of killing Phinny but the trident of the seven seas has dropped at least 3 times and the blue crystal staff had dropped at least 2 times. I think this qualifies the Mage staff for a rating of very or extremely rare.

rarity of this
# Aug 05 2005 at 5:53 AM Rating: Decent
This is by far 1 of the things that draw back mages from even trying this outdated quest...the rarity of this staff from what ive seen is rather big......might just b me.hehe but ive soloed phinny 8 times...(being as i was lucky enough to just by chance c him on with my druid)Ive had everything but this staff drop on those killz..a lot of mobs can b ezly soloed with a good enough mage but the rarity of it all takes a lot of the wand out of it...i mean sure its an epic n should b hard..but 4 me n most other mages ive talked to..even 1z with their 1.0 say its just not worth the waste of time

It's worth it if you are the right level to want to use it. I'm one piece from completing this for my mage who is 49, almost 50. And boy is the epic pet gonna rock for the next 10 levels or so.

Why is it when I am looking on track there are no Guardian's up and when I pull Phinny WHAM !!! there are 2 or 3 that come with him. I truely Believe I can Solo him as a 70 SK but when he brings 2 or 3 friends forget it.

What's the power boost?
# Jul 08 2005 at 11:16 AM Rating: Decent
How much does an elemental staff add to the power of a summoned pet in their 50's?

Thanks

Do these actually work on post 50 pets, I have been leveling like a mad man, and do not belong to a guild. I am level 63, and was thinking of grabbing one of these, as I would assume with a monk and a cleric of 65 and me with a level 60 pet we could take down the big fish. and hopefully score one. After reading the boards on all 4 staffs it seems there is a mix of opinions. Does anyone have stats on what this might do for +50 pets??
RE: PLEASE SETTLE
# Sep 08 2003 at 11:27 AM Rating: Decent
These staves focus pets from 51 to 60. Pets summonned at lvl61+ are not effected. There are 2 other items that will increase the lvl and HP of pets past lvl60. They are high end raid drops.

This and the staff from hate is all I need for my epic. I hear after three or four raids I should have this, as for the hate one.. in a year... maybe?

The Earth Staff in PoH drops off of Male Revenants now, not just Magi P'Tasa, quite often I'd think by comparison to the older drop rates when only Inny himself or the Magi dropped it.

You can now get to PoH now by handing a hate stone to Relm Loch in the Plane of Tranquility. Decent AA exp at lvl 65.
Phinny drops this biatch
# Nov 23 2001 at 9:40 PM Rating: Default
My *** it drops off of multiple creatures...Phinegal Autropos is the only mob that drops the Mage epic staff in Kedge...
Just one ?
# Jun 25 2001 at 12:04 PM Rating: Decent
Now contrary to what this says and more frequently said this only drops of Phinny... has anyone actually them selves gotten or seen the staff drop off of random mobs? If not this mis information should be fixed :)
appearance and effect
# May 13 2001 at 12:30 PM Rating: Decent
it looks like a crystal staff or staff of observers (with the little transparent pyramid thingy on the end). wish it were a plain, regular staff =p

it is a focus item of greater power than the ro focus items for mages. it will focus 49th and up pets (ro temple ones focus 34-49, but do not have any effect post 50). this staff is the oldest of them all, the first focus item to be put into the game... hence the humble statistics =)

it is a rather rare drop from phinigel autropos, last of the kedge, but is still considered the 'easiest' to get (air is hardest and not needed for the epic quest). it and the blue crystal staff (for the wizard epic) just dropped for me around ten minutes ago =)
