They really need to fix the description on this. "Mystra's blessing: Bless adds an additional 1d4 to saving throws and weapon attack rolls, and an additional 2d4 to spell attack rolls" Nowhere does it say it actually replaces the regular bless effect, implying that this is on top of it.

Submit

It only applies to spell attack rolls, it doesn’t double the power of bless at all. So it’s great for guiding bolt, scorching ray, eldritch blast and any spell attack but it DOES NOT boost regular attacks or saves at all. It only has the same effect as base bless on those.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it in the comments, but this staff (like all staffs) can benefit from the Great Weapon Master feat so long as you keep your off hand slot empty. I took GWM on Shadowheart, and she hits like a truck with this staff while also being able to cast the amped-up Bless bonus!

You can get to that secret floor before the boss. At the bottom where you fix the power generator, there is a set of stairs behind a wall (right next to the door you entered from outside). Using the Gaseous state spell, you can fly over the wall, and enter the sub basement room and loot the staff of arcane along with other books and items.

Mystras blessing is a seperate buff that gets added to the bless spelll while wearing the staff. It does not get removed when concentration on bless is broken. Upcasting bless to level 3 does not grant mystras blessing.

item id is up

on release I ran some tests: mystra's blessing doesn't work any different than any other bless BUT with an extra 1d4 ONLY to spell attacks.

so the only 2d4 is applied to spell attacks not the usual rest. it WORKS with any bless, not just the one bestowed by the staff

Submit

Best support item in the game. Made so many builds a lot more comfortable to use

Submit

Pretty much the most broken item in the game if you're packing a sorlock. Or anyone, really. This should be in every party

Submit

this weapon is bugged, sometimes it gives the buff others not. sometimes you end up with only a +1 from bless on attack rolls, which should be impossible cause normal bless gives 1d4, and mystras blessing another 1d4 on attack rolls. the lowest bonus from bless should have been +2

Submit

if this tooltip is accurate, this could be the most game breaking item in the game.

Submit

As of version 4.1.1 the buff does not work if you upscale Bless. It does work with Bless level 1 from non-item uses of Bless.

Submit

Does Mystra's Blessing buff affect each Magic Missile (or Eldritch Blast) separately?

Submit

Should be noted that all casts of bless with this staff equipped bestows Mystra’s blessing. Now that staffs are versatile there’s very little reason to not equip this on Shadowheart/a cleric.

Submit

Wish the weapons designed for casters weren't all staffs. There's other casters than Wizards.

Submit

The description is very misleading.
It works exactly like bless, the ONLY thing that changes is that the bonus to spell attack rolls is doubled (2d4 instead of 1d4)

Still a strong contender for the strongest item in the game, together with the sword of justice and the absolutes warboard

Submit

its broken, does not work with hex. Hex removes this set of buffs instantly when cast.

Submit

Larian: Uh oh, enchanting a staff with +1 gives to much damage! Let's instead break our own game with another stupidly overpowered item that can potentially give us +4 on all saves and +8 on spell attacks.
