I've been trying for weeks to get the staff while doing Crypt of Hearts, up to no avail, and I'm wondering if it still exists in the game. If so, who drops it? I've read conflicting responses from those who said it exists, and those who said it doesn't exist anymore.
Bought one a long time ago for my first
Farmed last boss 100 times for number 2
Got a third from needing second set of jewelry
Fourth was from an advanced chest
I did get at least 1 more that I have to a friend who needed his 2nd. He got his first for farming almost 3-4 a week for 6 months.
I have a few - got one even recently. Per your question, weapons drop from the final boss in the dungeon and have a chance to drop in the few chests that spawn per instance.
The destruction staves are easier to obtain. I think this is equal parts because there are more of them, and there are multiple, unique destruction staves. Including an ice staff, I believe.
Make sure to unlock the treasure chest passive in CP and open every chest you find in the dungeon. There are 2 chests in random locations in the dungeon.
If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.
Good to hear that the staff still exists. I had more luck getting the doomstaff (have a couple) than the restro staff
Named drops drop very often. Chests should honestly be a pretty good priority. There should be 2 per dungeon. Also check adds. It can drop from them just very unlikely. However my girlfriend got me multiple pieces from adds including my last purple Amberplasm ring I needed.
It took me a few weeks of farming to get it. I was doing a few runs a day most days of the week, I don't like to exhaust myself. Just take your strongest toon, go to normal and kite straight through to the bosses as fast as you can as only the last boss will drop it. It's that stupid RNG. If you don't need it they drop like pine needles. Decide you want one and you can do twenty runs or more. The only good news is that you can pretty easily solo this dungeon so you're free to run it as you like. Even the last boss only takes a short time to kill with a decent rotation and setup.
They do exist. It’s just that the loot table isn’t that generous. I got a Bow of the Lich last time. Simply wonderful.
FYI look out for chests too. They can drop weapons as well.

I was gearing myself up for farming one for my PvP build one day and the very first instance I went into I received a powered one at last boss. Yes, they exist
