My friend, Johnny Mccrash, Roger bluehound, me and a couple of other people were training on Kingshead. Mccrash summoned a gaint beam onto a grunt and inflicted 1362 damage on it.

Gives you an idea, Em i rite?

Pretty hard to annihilate everything unless your staff is maxed out and you level is maxed out. It does do lots of damage though. With the basic shooting skill (not sure what it's called because I'm a LONG way from staff) that shoots little balls of whateveryoucallit, it would take about 20 hits to take out a Veteran. If you mix in some of the other hexes, like the thing that turns everything silver (dunno what it's called again) it shouldn't take long and your pirate won't sustain much, if any damage.

Hope this helps you understand a little bit what the Voodoo Staff is like. Also, there are no healing with the staff, just destruction. I wish there was healing!

lol, someone giving info about an item they have never used.

The staff has several decent spells and a few dumb ones. While having 5 dots alone will not make you able to destroy anything/everything, combine it with some of the passive skills and you can come darn close.

The key is to have LOTS and LOTS of voodoo. Like having under 300 and you are just lame. Add some points in reduction of time to cast, reduction of voodoo used per spell, and/or increase spell damage and you can really make the ones you choose quite deadly.

I can easily kill a level 20 in one shot. A 35 stump goes up in about 3-4 shots.

This doesn't mean you can kill anything at will. The high level skels in tormenta cave are not easy no matter how high your staff is.

AWW MAN! the quests r tht hard? i have 5 lvls to go till staff i can do the skeleton and stump with a friend easily but this has got me nervous on how hard the quests are o btw most of my friends are lvl 20+ so alot of them are 30+ and they get to help me (whew)

The voodoo staff is like a voodoo dool to the EXTREME like 10X the power! its awesome but i havent got one yet :(

Nice pics! Can't wait to get my staff lol.

Staff Hexes:

Blast
Soul Flay
Pestilence
Wither
Flaming Skull
Banish
Desolation

one of my potco friends is lvl 31 and he did the quest he said he didnt have to kill much, just a few stumps and stuff.. they made it easier! :-)

Unless the recent updates changed the quest which I doubt:

What was previously mentioned was accurate...

Part 1:
Defeat 10 Undead Raiders
10 Undead Gypsys
10 Undead Grenadiers

Part 2:
Defeat a Tree Stump

Part 3:
Sink a Skeleton ship for a shrunken head

Plus....

Part 4:
Defeat an enemy on every land.
(There is a similar step in the new upgraded voodoo doll quest)


There may be more to it, its been awhile since I did the quest, but I think that was about it. Steps 1-3 to create your staff, and step 4 to empower it. Its not that hard though. Not any harder than any of the other quests.

i figured this out on most quests: it dosnt search so wat i do to fix it is click track 100000 times and click on other quest too, then, track the head quest again and it should work.

After the update it dont tell you "Shrunken head not found" while you are searching. Just plunder another skelly and try again. It takes time.

what is a tree stump?

I just got my voodoo staff 2 days ago, got addicted to it, now I'm lvl 15 staff working on getting the harrow staff, although I only had to sink 2 skeleton ships to get the shrunken head, the phantoms around padres del feugo is where I got it. Anyway, the first two attacks are pretty weak, but dont give up on the staff, unlock the first two skills you get then save up the points till you get to level 4 which is when you get the attack "wither" a pirates best friends when it comes to fighting multiple enemys, dealing 300+ on its first skill point and I have 5 skill points on it and I've hit over 700 with it. then you get "flaming skull", really awesome attack also not as good as wither when fighting multiple enemys and charges a little slowly but with 4 skill points on it I'm dealing over 1000 damage with it, after that you get "banish" only works on undead and sometimes hits over 1000 on its first skill point! it's very very slow at charging though and using a heck of a lot of voodoo.

here's a quick sreenie I made after using flaming skull on a dread scorpion (I have 4 skill points on it)

(the damage dealt is 1315)

last attack in the voodoo staff is called "desolation", my friend has it, it looks awesome when you cast it, it like a big hurricane with skulls and stuff everywhere and can easily kill somthing lvl 20 or more in one hit, bad part is that is hurts the person casting it so you should have a good healer when you're casting it.

(edit)here are pictures of all the voodoo attacks I have so far from first to last:

and the last one desolation I do not yet have

I'm doing the quest now... woo. :D I dont know if this thread is old or not.

I see people with the staff all the time. Saw one guy in Kingshead who was doing serious damage to the navy there. And I have seen staff use at the fort in Port Royal too. It obviously is possible to get it. I am working my way up to it now. My doll is level 22 right now. I am not sure how you get the quest for it tho. Maybe when you reach level 30 you get the quest. I am looking forward to it. It is a serious weapon of mass destruction! :dancetl6:
