  • Inspired by the record-breaking online universe that’s captured the imagination of millions worldwide, RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg is the official cooperative board game for 1-5 players.

Materials listed for the Staff of Light

Game8 lists these recipe requirements: Blightwood ×16, Wild Anima ×8, Sapphire ×4, Vault Shard ×12, and Vault Core ×1. These are guide-listed crafting materials; check the in-game recipe for the current requirements. [Game8]

Which forge do you need?

Published guides conflict on the crafting station: Game8 names the Smithing Forge, while a more recently dated Thishepen Kara guide names the Mystic Forge. The available guide reporting does not resolve the discrepancy, so check the current in-game recipe screen rather than relying on either station name. [Game8; TheGamer]
