Well, I got a bunch of spirit staves (3 or 4 I think) when I fought the elms in Trynton.. The only problem is that I didn't realize that they were used to make a special item at the time, and I sold them. I have been going around looking for the merchant I sold them to but nobody seems to have them anymore.. Can I find a spirit staff elsewhere in the game, or is it impossible for me to make the Ebon staff now?

Oak critters will often spawn in the center room of the 4th bough if you didn't use the insense. Just rest near the 7th bough and take a peek every once in while.
