The Replica Staves sit too high up on our characters

SilverBride

When I am at the character select screen I can't see the top of any of the replica staves because they are cut off. These staves seem to sit too high up and also seem larger than most other staves in general. Here is a screenshot showing my Breton Templar with Sunna'rah.

Noticed that while previewing them in the Outfit station. That, and the fact that they're all broken with Arcanist at least (Scholarship buff doesn't line up with the staff at all, and sticks out at an angle) is a big reason why I didn't bother farming them at all.

I went to the outfit station and yes, it is the same there. Also if I change to a different staff they all seem to be set lower on the body.

Clearly little work went into modeling these limited time, super rare, style pages that players were losing their sanity and love for the game trying to get. Not surprising.
But I did notice that when my friend sent me a picture of her character using the Ul'vor staff. Definitely looks like it sits way higher than it should and makes me happy that I didn't bother farming my life away trying to get it.

SilverBride

I love how they all look but they do need to be adjusted lower on the body and maybe even sized a little smaller too, because they do seem thicker and larger than most other staves.

Not just broken with Arcanist. If you cast any ability that applies a temporary effect to the staff shaft, it will project sideways. Try casting Wall of Elements and see what happens (although it's faint and does not last long).

Finishing and quality control of the event staves is a bit lacking. This thread highlights another major issue on Arcanists:

Sooo many staves do this on my character that I don't use ones I typically may if they sat right.

SilverBride

As hard as I worked to get these staves I will use them, but it would be great if they were adjusted to fit the body better.

@Xandreia_
It'd be one thing if they were actually that big and not just rigged to sit too high. You can't really tell because of the angle, but the staff doesn't even get close to her characters knees just like in the picture SilverBride shared.

yeh ive seen it

They seem to fit on my toons. But then I tend to go to the shortest height setting at character select. But even my High Elf toon that's tall and lanky (not pictured here) displays the whole staff. Granted my pic here shows Staff of Worms, as Sunna'rah is on the backbar on all of my staff wielding toons and only front bar is display regardless which equiped when you logoff.

SilverBride

My Breton isn't all that tall but that shouldn't matter anyway. All weapons should be made to fit the character wielding them.

It's hard to see exactly how high up this is because the top of the staff goes up so far it is completely cut off in the character selection screenshot I posted above.

The broom from the Jester's event does the same thing, unfortunately.

BronzeCaiman

I would like to add the Crown Store staff "Skull Of Corruption" has had this problem for years.

EramTheLiar

It's no different from the Nerien'eth Staff, which has always sat higher on the back than most other staves in game.

Cruxanero

Next time, don't order your replicas from Wish.

Some are bigger, aren't they?

Like the Jephrine Paladin one.

Dragonnord

I don't think this will be fixed since it happens with other several staves that are still wrong.

Like Nerien'eth staff that was released like 4 years ago and still looks way too high on our characters back and also way too high from the floor when our chars hold it straight.

Lots of staves are too tall and I don't consider using them.

If when the character is holding it out, it is equal to the top of their head, it is too long

I like something shorter, like hollowjack

Soraka

The Thurvokun staff from the arms pack does this to my character

Sakiri

The arcanist issue doesn't affect ul'vor.

It's what I use.

ArchangelIsraphel

I actually prefer longer staves as I think they look more eloquent on my tall high elves, however I do agree that they sit too high on the characters back at the moment. It looks really strange, especially on my really tall elves.

SilverBride

As hard as we worked to get these styles they need to look good when equipped.
