Staff Of The Serpent is a staff that adds mana leech. It raises the Mana Currents skill by three levels. It belongs to the serpent weapons of the Lunar New Year Trader.

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	Poison Damage	Adds Poison Damage equal to 10% of base damage
2	Level +2	Mana Currents	+1 Mana Currents

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.

Lore

An ouroboros of green jade crowns this grand staff. It was made to honour the year of the snake. It belonged to Mei-Yin Chen, the Lunar New Year Trader, until bandits ambushed her wagon in the Low Meadows. They shot her with arrows and ran off with her staff among other goods. A bandit's note later says the staff could not be smuggled out past the guards.

Notes

Its companions are the Bow Of The Serpent and the Sword Of The Serpent. Mei-Yin's quest Lunar New Year Staff sends players after the stolen staff. Once the staff and the sword are both returned, she gives Prove Yourself Worthy. Mei-Yin also crafts the Serpent Warrior armour set and Lunar New Year decorations. The staff is one of the unique items of the Springlands in the Set List.
