The Shroud Weaver is a staff in Enshrouded known for once being the most powerful weapon in the game. It was once a level 30 legendary staff, one of the few weapons to have gone past the max level, however it has recently been nerfed in an update. Regardless of the nerf, it is still a very powerful staff for magic users to wield. Read ahead as we share how to find the Shroud Weaver in Enshrouded and talk about its stats.
Enshrouded Shroud Weaver Staff Location

The Shroud Weaver Staff can be found inside a golden ornate chest in the southeastern corner of the Embervale map. Reaching the location on foot will require a level 6 Flame Altar, although the location can be reached from the Kindlewastes Ancient Spire using at least an Extraordinary Glider and the Updraft skill.

Gliding from the Kindlewastes Ancient Spire, head towards the southeast, but aim for the rock formation that is just above the shroud as a resting place to recover some stamina. Then, continue down towards the southeasternmost mountain.

Once on the mountain, look down the cliffside that is facing north and find a ledge that is still above the shroud. You will eventually see wooden platforms holding the chest that contains the Shroud Weaver Staff.
The Shroud Weaver Staff is part of The Mysterious Wanderer Appears side quest which is started by finding a particular note. Despite being essentially a quest reward, it is not necessary to start the side quest in order to get the staff, although its quest marker will help find the staff for the first time.
Additionally, the staff can also be farmed with the simple login respawn trick. Place a Flame Altar nearby, making sure that the chest is not within the altar’s boundary, open the chest, then logout and log back in the game. This chest’s content is fixed to have only the staff itself.

- 47 Power

Due to its Fire Magic Damage bonuses, it scales well with Fireball spells, especially with the Eternal Fireball spell.
