Graphics

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 occasionally fly above the user's head.

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.

Skill effects

• Default class weapon trails are replaced with a cyan mist and feathers.
• Default projectiles are replaced with spirit ravens that transform into glowing spheres mid-flight. Additionally, up to three ravens will fly out of the sky and trail the projectile.
• Critical hit attacks will spawn faint spirit ravens on the attacked enemy that fly away quickly.

Trivia

• The staff is named for Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven", which frequently repeats the word "nevermore."
• 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.
