Hi everyone. I would like to know what is the best way to acquire a lighting War maiden staff. Where do they drop most commonly?

✭✭✭✭✭The best way is to farm mats for 30-60 minutes and buy it from guild traders.
If you want to farm overland weapons, the best methods are farming public dungeon bosses or farming chests in the zone (with treasure hunter CP passive). Note that it will take you WAY longer than if you just farm the gold and buy it (like 10-20+ hours).
They are super cheap right now (30-40k gold):

✭✭If you want a precise one then you can just do the Gnisis quest, it gives you one at the end.3

This is accurate.
Weapons have such a pitifully low drop rate in this game it makes way more sense to just farm the gold and buy it. Especially if this staff costs 30-40k gold, you're talking about many days time saved farming the gold vs farming the staff. Going for a specific weapon drop is insanely unlikely1
