Overview

Preyseeker's Staff

Game iconPreyseeker's Staff is a two-handed staff added to World of Warcraft with the Midnight expansion. The model leans into the void elf aesthetic of a renewed Quel'Thalas: an elongated dark shaft with a carved finial and cold lilac shimmers that echo the void theme the whole expansion is built around. This is a weapon for agility-based specializations — the staff is available to druids, hunters and monks.

The item belongs to the rewards of the Prey system, a new Midnight hunting activity spread across the zones of Quel'Thalas. The staff drops from hunt targets, so its value for a transmog collector is primarily visual: a clean silhouette without excess glow that fits neatly into dark and arcane looks.

The staff drops as loot in the Prey hunt system, available after completing the introductory chain from Astalor Bloodsworn in Silvermoon. Hunts take place across the renewed zones of Quel'Thalas.

  • Unlock Prey by talking to Astalor Bloodsworn in Silvermoon and completing his introductory chain up to activating the hunt table in Astalor's Sanctum.
  • Accumulate echoes by completing world quests, opening treasures and killing rare enemies across the zones of Quel'Thalas.
  • Start a hunt from the table and finish off the assigned target — weapons like this staff drop specifically from hunt targets.
  • The Normal, Hard and Nightmare difficulties differ in how dangerous the target is; on Hard and Nightmare the fight is solo and the target gains extra complications.
  • Each week it is worth closing up to four hunts — after that, progress toward rewards slows noticeably.

For finishing off targets you also receive the Remnant of Anguish currency, which you can spend with the rewards vendor Construct V'anore in Astalor's Sanctum on cosmetic sets, pets and mounts from the hunter series.

A good visual fit for

  • Harmonizes with lilac and dark-purple void-themed sets from the Midnight campaign across Quel'Thalas.
  • Pairs with light leather kits for druids and monks thanks to the slim shaft without a bulky finial.
  • Suits a hunter as a melee-line staff for blood elf ranger looks.
  • Stands out as a contrast in bright "priestly" outfits — a debatable but recognizable accent.
  • Fits neatly into concepts built around blood elves and a renewed Silvermoon.

Tips

1

Unlock Prey as early as possible: the introductory chain from Astalor Bloodsworn takes little time, and after that the hunts run regularly.

2

Before starting a hunt, gather a stockpile of echoes across the world — quests, treasures and rare enemies of Quel'Thalas provide them steadily.

3

On Hard and Nightmare the target fights you one on one and gains complications, so keep your consumables and gear in order.

4

Plan up to four hunts a week — that is the optimal amount, after which the reward payout drops.

5

If the staff hasn't dropped from a target, keep hunting: the weapon drops randomly, and in parallel you bank currency for the sets at Construct V'anore.

6

Druids, hunters and monks have direct access to the item — these are exactly the specializations that wield agility staves.

7

The kindred Preyseeker's Spire from the same system gives a second variant of the same model if you like the appearance.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
