Notes

• This item is always customized for the character that the /bonus command was used with. However, this command can be reused on each of your characters, consistently respawning the weapon. This weapon cannot be modified.
• It cannot be placed in the trade window.
• Although you may only have one staff at once, having a hero equiped with it does not trigger this, allowing one character to create multiple staves.

Dye

• The Hourglass Staff cannot be dyed.

Bug! The first update on Thursday 23rd of August, removed dye color from the Hourglass Staff and prevented new dye effects (you can still apply dye, but it has no effect).

Trivia

• The design of this staff is based on the entry submitted by Bora Vergili in ArenaNet's second Design-a-Weapon Contest which ran in 2007.
