Not totally out of luck ... the saplings that drop the staves can show up again when the game respawns new monsters. I've had good luck finding them respawned in the Pagoda room - the no-magic room with those four incense holders that you initially opened by using the blue marble.

So, if you've already wiped out the saplings in their usual haunts [Sanctuary room where you got the 2 pieces of vine, Rising Elm room where you found the ZuZu petals, and the Pagoda room], go do something else for a game day and come back later.

I agree, random drops are a huge pain when you really really really want a specific item. One game I had five Wood Sprite staffs, and in another game zilcho even after killing dozens of the bleeping saplings. Picus don't like to lay eggs for me, either. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Ebon staff is well worth a bit of extra work.
