Though dust has settled into every nook and cranny of this staff, it still emanates a soothing aura. Its previous owner cast it aside - forgotten because there was nobody to bless.

Special

The holder of this item gains:

  • Wielding this weapon grants one 1st level usage of Bless per Long Rest and causes all Bless spells cast by the wearer to act as Mystra's Blessing.
  • Mystra's Blessing: Bless grants an additional 1d4 to Saving Throws and Weapon Attack Rolls, and an additional 2d4 to Spell Attack Rolls.
  • Note: The wording of Mystra's Blessing may be a bit deceptive. As of Patch 9, Mystra's Blessing does not stack with the original Bless effect, and the final buffs provided are as follows:
    • +1d4 to Saving Throws
    • +1d4 to Weapon Attack Rolls
    • +2d4 to Spell Attack Rolls
  • Thus, Mystra's Blessing is effectively equivalent to Bless but with an additional +1d4 to Spell Attack Rolls.

Where to find

This staff is found leaning up against a table in the basement of the Arcane Tower. To reach the basement, the player must either convince Bernard on the top floor to leave Guiding Light on a table, or defeat Bernard and take it. The ring can be used to activate a secret button on the tower's teleporter pad to reach the basement.
