Staff of Fracturing

Only those with patience and focus will be able to harness the true power of this staff.
Overview
Staff of Fracturing is a weapon that deals both Fire and Blunt damage. At base quality, it hits for 12 Fire and 12 Blunt, with Fire damage rising as it is upgraded while Blunt damage remains unchanged. Its durability also increases with quality, from 200 to 350.
The staff is most notable for its very long recharge/reload time, which limits its sustained damage output. In exchange, it delivers exceptional burst damage at close range, making it a strong choice when you can commit to brief, high-impact attacks rather than constant pressure.
Upgrading the staff increases its Fire damage and durability:
- Quality 1: 12 Fire, 12 Blunt, 200 durability
- Quality 2: 18 Fire, 12 Blunt, 250 durability
- Quality 3: 24 Fire, 12 Blunt, 300 durability
- Quality 4: 30 Fire, 12 Blunt, 350 durability
Its crafting requirements scale as follows:
- Quality 1: 15
Charred Bone, 5
Ashwood, 8
Proustite Powder
- Quality 2: 5 Charred bone, 3 Ashwood, 1 Proustite powder
- Quality 3: 10 Charred bone, 6 Ashwood, 2 Proustite powder
- Quality 4: 15 Charred bone, 9 Ashwood, 3 Proustite powder
Because of the weapon’s long downtime between attacks, it performs best when used for deliberate bursts rather than continuous fighting. It is less effective in situations where mobility and repeated strikes matter more than raw hit strength.
