Equipment

• the Staff of Seven - Lev(29) Loc(wield hold) 7d7 nodrop fragile holy nostore nounegg no-auction hps(39) hr(3) SKL/SPL: Resurrect (manacost -17%)
• a tricoloured cingulum - Lev(28) Loc(waist) AW AT armor(-15) mana(30) con(-4) Cond(pristine - 185 Days)
• misty bathing slippers - Lev(24) Loc(feet) AE AN hr(5) armor(-7) Cond(pristine - 185 Days)

Initial Notes

• the zone DOES repop with people inside
• to change seasons, kill Verthandi 7X. Season will change on the next repop.
• You need 7 items to make the staff: 3 !rent, 4 Seasonal.
• Before going to the !rent components be sure to check the season. The room name at the beginning of the zone gives a hint as to what season it is.
  • A bright, Autumn Trail = Fall
  • A Snowy, Woodland Track = Winter
  • A Forest in Flower = Spring
  • A Lazy Summer Trail = Summer
• when zone repops, a rentable comp like shard will not reload
• *****IMPORTANT*****

It is most efficient to make multiple staves at once (we recommend 9 at a time)

You must kill Verthandi 22 times to make a single staff, but only 23 times to make two.

This means you should get multiple seasonal comps before triggering season change

Notes for killing Verthandi solo:

• keep corner 2 north of verthandi traped
• watch for rats on flee, have autosneak on
• avoid ghosts, as they are very difficult
• set wimpy 150
• Verthandi stabs fast, so always run in and init magic missile for images or use colour spray

Making Staff

Kill Verthandi, be sure you have all 7 comps in inventory, and sleep.

Note: make sure you're not formed when you sleep to make the staff.

Note: You can only make 1 staff at a time, with 7x comps in your inventory, but you can repeat this step.
