Staff Upgrades, Anvils, Horn Crystals & the Magic Staff Conversion

Players keep asking why their staff "turned into a Magic Gladiator weapon" after a mix, and what Horn Crystals are for. Short answers: that staff mix is a class conversion, not an upgrade — and Anvils upgrade weapons while Horns (made from Horn Crystals) upgrade armor.

1. The two different staff mixes

  Tier Upgrade (Anvil craft) Magic Staff Conversion
What it does Turns your staff into the next tier of the same staff line Turns your staff into the same tier of the Magic Gladiator's Magic Staff line
Who it's for Dark Wizard, Light Wizard, MG using the shared staff line Magic Gladiator only — the result can ONLY be equipped by MG
Ingredients Staff +11~+15 with +16 option + jewels (Bless / Soul / Chaos / Creation) + matching tier Anvil Just the staff (any level)
Success rate 100%, options carried over 100%, level and options carried over
Reversible? NO. One-way. There is no mix to convert back.

⚠ Dark Wizards / Light Wizards: if you put your staff into the conversion mix, you get an MG-only weapon that cannot be converted back. Always check the mix preview — if the result says "Magic Staff", that is the MG version.

2. Weapon tier upgrade — the Anvil craft

Example — upgrading a Blue Eye Staff into a Silver Heart Staff:

image.png Blue Eye Staff (+11~+15, +16 opt)  +  image.png Bless  +  image.png Soul  +  image.png Chaos  +  image.png Creation  +  image.png Silver Heart Anvil  →  image.png Silver Heart Staff (100%, options kept)

The same pattern applies to every tier — always with the Anvil of the tier you are crafting:

Your staff Upgrades into Anvil needed
image.png Bloodangel Staff image.png Darkangel Staff Darkangel Anvil
image.png Darkangel Staff image.png Holyangel Staff Holyangel Anvil
image.png Holyangel Staff image.png Soul Staff Soul Anvil
image.png Soul Staff image.png Blue Eye Staff Blue Eye Anvil
image.png Blue Eye Staff image.png Silver Heart Staff Silver Heart Anvil
image.png Silver Heart Staff image.png Manticore Staff Manticore Anvil
image.png Manticore Staff image.png Brilliant Staff Brilliant Anvil
image.png Brilliant Staff image.png Apocalypse Staff Apocalypse Anvil
image.png Apocalypse Staff image.png Lightning Staff Lightning Anvil
image.png Lightning Staff image.png Temple Guard White Wizard Staff Temple Guard Anvil (+ Zen fee)

Tip: the upgrade keeps your excellent options, so build your staff to +11 with the +16 option first, then climb the tiers. The same Anvil system upgrades all other weapon lines (swords, scepters, bows…) of your class.

3. Horn Crystals — what they're for

Horn Crystals are the armor counterpart of Anvils. You first refine a stack of them into a Horn, and the Horn upgrades your set pieces:

1️⃣ image.png Horn Crystal stack (bound, farmed)  +  image.png Bless bundle  +  image.png Soul bundle  +  image.png Chaos  +  image.png Creation  +  💰 1,000,000,000 Zen  →  image.png [Bound] Horn of that tier

2️⃣ Armor piece (+11~+15, +16 opt)  +  jewels  +  image.png tier Horn  →  next-tier armor piece (100%, options kept)

Horn Crystal tiers exist for every step of the ladder (Dark Angel, Holy Angel, Awakening Soul, Blue Eye, Silver Heart, Manticore, Brilliant, Apocalypse, Lightning Soul). Crystals are bound — farm your own.

Remember it as: 🔨 Anvils → weapons  |  Horns (from Horn Crystals) → armor.

4. Magic Staff conversion (Magic Gladiator)

Magic Gladiators historically used the same staffs as wizards. The conversion mix lets an MG turn that shared staff into his dedicated Magic Staff line, at the same tier, keeping level and options:

Staff in Magic Staff out (MG only)
image.png Bloodangel Staff [MG] Blood Angel Magic Staff
image.png Darkangel Staff [MG] Dark Angel Magic Staff
image.png Holyangel Staff [MG] Holy Angel Magic Staff
image.png Soul Staff [MG] Soul Magic Staff
image.png Blue Eye Staff [MG] Blue Eye Magic Staff
image.png Silver Heart Staff [MG] Silver Heart Magic Staff
image.png Manticore Staff [MG] Manticore Magic Staff
image.png Brilliant Staff [MG] Brilliant Magic Staff
image.png Apocalypse Staff [MG] Apocalypse Magic Staff
image.png Lightning Staff [MG] Lightning Magic Staff

The Magic Staff line then continues upgrading with its own Anvil crafts, up to the Temple Guard Magic Staff.

5. Quick answers

"My staff became a weapon for the wrong class!" — You used the conversion mix. It is working as intended, but it's MG-only and one-way. Contact staff if it just happened; don't repeat the mix on a staff you want to keep.

"How do I upgrade my Blue Eye Staff to Silver Heart?" — Blue Eye Staff +11~+15 with +16 option + jewels + Silver Heart Anvil. 100% success, options kept.

"What do I do with Horn Crystals?" — Collect a full stack, refine into a Horn (jewels + 1B Zen), then use the Horn to upgrade your armor pieces to the next tier.
