Inquisitor staff is currently at 185m. Considering it is the best staff at high-end bosses (telos/solak/aod), the price is a joke compared to noxious staff t90 at 150m.

This is due to the mass of dishonest cheaters abusing alts with lvl 12 archaeology during pylon times, which now goes off 3 times per day. While this may not be against the rules, this definitely is against the spirit of the game.

One may argue the drop rate at pylon times are low enough to prevent abuse. But as we can see from the mass of staff pieces flooding the market, the sheer amount of alts have completely offset the supposedly low drop rate.

Inquisitor staff’s counterparts are much harder to acquire. For terrasaur maul, it takes immense effort to farm t3 dinos for a measly 1/1000 drop rate for only one of the three maul pieces. This translates to over 3000 bgh kills in at least 180+ hours for the maul. The hexhunter bow is a 1/1.5million drop from soulgazers. Enough said.

Edit: suggestions credit to AsphxMeHarder

(1) pieces should only be available during pylon and only at the war room spot;

(2) make it so you only roll the drop each time you get your time sprite to 100% during pylon.

I really love a J-mod response on this, and hopefully the market will not be soon flooded by 20 mil inquisitor staffs that are best-in-slot anytime soon.

Edit: seems like I am getting lots of downvotes and negative comments. This is totally understandable considering this post is directly against the interest of many people who farm the staff pieces.

Just posting to say that the staff was brought up in a meeting earlier today and we discussed it at length.

We will share information on any potential changes when we've nailed them down.
