Spine of the Devourer Caster Staff
This two-handed staff for casters has a blue (rare) quality and an ilvl of 33. It deals 59–90 damage with a speed of 3.60. A bonus of up to +36 to damage and healing from spells and magical effects of any school of magic gives the staff its main value. That's why every damage and healing spell (Frostbolt, Shadow Bolt, Heal) receives this bonus.
Your character can equip this weapon from level 28. Another bonus line (Spell Penetration +3) reduces the target’s resistance to your spells. We consider the spell bonus to be the staff’s strongest feature for a caster throughout the entire leveling process from level 28 to the first upgrade.
Mana Devourer Loot in Dalaran Dungeon
This boss in City of Dalaran (28–33) drops blue loot with an ilvl of 33. The loot table includes three items for different classes, from spellcasters to melee fighters in leather armor:
- This staff
- Manascale Treads (mail boots)
- Slitherwrap Girdle (leather belt)
Dalaran Sewer Key unlocks the entrance to the Dalaran sewers. Image of Archmage Modera grants this key as part of the Heart of Disruption quest near the city on the shore of Lordamere Lake. One key holder is enough for the entire group. This allows the other players to enter the dungeon without their own key. The Alliance can also get inside via the teleport near Image of Archmage Modera.
Who Needs Spine of the Devourer
Mages, warlocks, and priests at levels 28–33 need the staff. Druids and shamans also gain +14 Stamina from it in addition to the spell bonus. We recommend that casters buy Spine of the Devourer at level 28. Our team spends 30–40 minutes per attempt in a group of five players. You won’t have to wait for an available tank or healer in your world.
