Nevermore.png
Nevermore is a living reminder that there's always a purpose to Raven's riddles and tests. When you're mired in despair, lost for answers, he pushes because he knows you can fly.

Graphics[edit]

Nevermore is a rune-inscribed raven staff. While stowed, three glowing cyan orbs float among the branches of the staff; and an animated raven is perched on the center branch. While drawn, the cyan orbs and raven are replaced by a spirit raven that encompasses the staff.

Aura
  • The arm wielding Nevermore is covered in black feathers.
  • While drawn, ravens continuously fly in the sky above the wielder.
Draw/Stow effects
  • When drawn, the perched raven flies upwards and the three glowing orbs spiral towards it. On impact, the raven dissipates in a burst of cyan feathers, and forms the spirit raven. In addition, a conspiracy of ravens fly above the user and cawing is heard.
  • When stowed, the raven re-materializes and perches on the staff, and cawing is heard.
Footfalls
  • The user leaves behind wisps of cyan feathers.

Notes[edit]

  • It is recommended that you do not attempt to stat change your precursor item with the standard stat swap recipe in the Mystic Forge. While you will be provided with an item with the desired stats, it will have been replaced with a generic ascended item that cannot be used as a legendary precursor.
  • The ravens spawned flying around the enemy after a critical hit scale with the size of that enemy's model. As such, they are almost imperceptible on small enemies like Lashtail Devourers, and massive on enemies like the Legendary Icebrood Construct.
Critical hits of Weakening Charge no longer create ravens briefly flying around the target. It is unknown when this change occurred, but it can be argued that it was intentional so as to reduce visual clutter due to the skill having no recharge and hitting three times.

Trivia[edit]

  • The staff is named for Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven", which frequently repeats the word "nevermore."[1]
  • The staff's skin was datamined from a test server in December 2013 and was referred to by the community as the "Raven Staff" until it was revealed to be the legendary weapon Nevermore in October 2015.
  • After its release, more friendly ravens appeared all over Tyria: for example, there's now one on the Marriner's Plaque that was once the statue of Cobiah Marriner.
  • There was a Guild Wars Prophecies Game of the Year bonus item called the Nevermore Flatbow.
