Notes
Part of the Phylactery Mystic set.

Although this staff has a higher base damage than the Staff of the Cosmic Whole, it has a -20% rate of fire which makes the overall base DPS less than that of the Staff of Astral Knowledge. The range reduction is also important to take into account, comparable to that of Bow classes.

The Staff of the Cosmic Whole outclasses this staff in terms of DPS until 67/79/80 DEF.

These two factors makes it a very situational if not poor choice in general, best kept for enemies with very high defense such as the Sarcophagus or the Stone Guardians, although Tezcacoatl’s Tail may be more suited against these enemies thanks to its armor piercing shots. Alternatively, it can be used semi-practically when the entire Phylactery Mystic set is collected.

When the entire Phylactery Bearer set is equipped, the weapon projectile changes to:
Soul Vortex

History
This item used to drop in a cyan bag before the addition of orange bags in Patch X.18.0 (Oct 2017).

This item, and the other pieces of the Phylactery Mystic Set, previously also dropped from the Lair of Draconis but in Release 27.7.XMAS, the items were replaced with the Dragon Tamer Set.

Before Patch X.33.1.0 (May 2020), this item had a Feed Power of 500.

Before Exalt Version 2.3.3.0 (July 2022), this item had a dismantling value of 20 Mythical Material.

Trivia
A phylactery refers to an object commonly used by liches in fantasy settings to house their soul and therefore protect them from death. This correlates to the Phylactery Bearers that drop the item and set, as they make the Lich boss practically invincible until they are killed.
