Blackened Staff

Every apprentice knows that the Blackened Staff hides dark secrets. Trying to uncover them leads to migraines, nausea, and paranoia.

The Blackened Staff is a legendary staff in Enshrouded. At level 50, a legendary copy hits for 147 base damage. It always has one gem slot for a gem. Its upgrades unlock extra Shroud damage and mana leech. It is found in the Nomad Highlands, where it drops from cairns in the Hollow Halls. The Alchemist upgrades it.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	10	11	12	16	18
10	23	26	29	38	41
20	38	42	48	62	68
30	54	59	67	86	94
40	68	75	86	110	121
50	84	92	104	134	147

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Alchemist raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. Rarity sets how many upgrades a copy takes: one for common, up to five for legendary.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect
1	Level +1	Shroud Damage	Adds Shroud Damage equal to 10% of base damage
2	Level +2	Mana Leech	+3% Mana Leech
3	Level +3	Shroud Damage	Adds Shroud Damage equal to 10% of base damage
4	Level +4	Shroud Damage	Adds Shroud Damage equal to 10% of base damage
5	Level +5	All Magic Shroud Damage	+10% All Magic Shroud Damage

Special Ability

Spellcasting: A staff casts the spell held in its equipped spell charges, and every cast costs mana. The spells are crafted by the Alchemist. Every staff in the game works this way.
