Any idea where I can find this staff? Along with a kashi and oak staff. I think I've found these 2 in the past but I can't remember where. My main goal is to try and find a staff with the holy pillar of light skill on it and I'm hoping that this staff may have it. Or at least one of the crafted ones since I've never crafted a weapon before. I would really like having at least 1 offensive staff in my support arsenal. What I have right now really isn't getting the job done when there are times that I want to solo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kishinden for the Oak staff for sure, maybe too for the 36Poets (since I got one before Kusano village)[, and Sakurajima for Kashi (I think, if it's what I've in mind)]...

Well, better explanation above, (and turn out I was wrong on the Kashi ^^)

Back in CBT, Kashi Staves were commonplace in the Silver and Bronze weapon drops throughout Izumo. Now, I actually see them occasionally in Room of Rites and some of the earlier Izumo dungeons. I believe I got my Thirty Six Poets from Ooyama residence, but the Oosumi area dungeons (or Kishinden) should all have some chance of turning up Thirty Six Poets as a weapon drop.

Oh yeah, Iwaotoshi is a pretty nice staff, as it carries an automatic +5 WIS and MND boost with it. Have fun grinding Chinji Cavern 20+ times for the materials though.

As for offensive staves, I have a +30 Thirty Six Poets with Soul Strike VII, Rolling Thunder III, and Breath of Light I just lying around collecting dust. I might decide to sell it off later should I find a way to tack on more offensive abilities on my two currently used staves.

Try the dungeons in kikaigahara for the 36 poets.
