To make staff:
Kill verthandi, be sure you have all 7 comps in inventory, and sleep.
Verthandi doesn't change seasons randomly,
but by another more structured method, which is working as intended. Thanks for
checking, though! Fayla
NOTES
Killing verthandi solo:
trap and clear each of the 3 fleeable rooms
keep corner 2 north of verthandi traped
watch for rats on flee, have autosneak on
avoid ghosts, as they are very difficult
wimpy 150
verthandi stabs fast, so always run in and init magic missle for images
or use color spray
dispel, plague, blind, poison
ice
Lev(28) Loc(waist) AW AT armor(-15) mana(30) con(-4) Cond(pristine - 185 Days) - a tricoloured cingulum
Lev(24) Loc(feet) AE AN hr(5) armor(-7) Cond(pristine - 185 Days) - misty bathing slippers
Lithindyn notes:
- when zone repops, a rentable comp like shard will not reload
- do not need mob 'heron', despite walkthrough mentioning it
- phoenix egg only loads in spring, and not all the time, but can see in inventory
- icing Verthandi 7 times in a row is only way to move season. Game or zone reset will not pick random season.
- Yeshem claims that season will rotate on a timer, but Lithindyn disagrees
- Lith recommends getting more than one componnet from the season before you switch season "turn the wheel", to make more than one seven
- don't be formed when you sleep to make Seven. You can only make one staff at a time, with 7x comps in your inventory
- 7d7 dice doesn't smite undead like reck/kirin
- exit to queen from phoenix area (3d 2e d from phoenix is queen) bypasses maple key
- If you ice queen for 7th time, season changes on next repop
- After icing queen for the 7th time, there is no indication that season is about to change next repop. You just have to wait and see.

Initial Notes
Verthandi has four seasons. Unlike Arcadia, only one season is active at a time.
the zone DOES repop with people inside
to change seasons, kill Verthandi 7X. Season will change on the next repop. Otherwise the season will stay the same forever (across restarts).
You need 7 items to make the staff: 3 !rent, 4 Seasonal.
Before going to the !rent components be sure to check the season. The room name at the beginning of the zone gives a hint as to what season it is.
A bright, Autumn Trail = Fall
A Snowy, Woodland Track = Winter
A Forest in Flower = Spring
A Lazy Summer Trail = Summer
when zone repops, a rentable comp like shard will not reload
*****IMPORTANT*****
It is most efficient to make multiple staves at once (we recommend 9 at a time)
You must kill Queen Verthandi a minimum of 16 times to make a single Staff of Seven, but only 24 times to make nine staves.
This means you should get nine seasonal comps before triggering season change
Walkthrough
Seasonal Components
Spring
Phoenix Egg
From @ go n, e, e, n, n, w, n, n, e, n, n, e, e, n, n, w,w, n, w, all n, e, all n, e, e, all n, e, n, e, n, d, n, all e, s, all e, n, n, all e, n, n, search, u, u, u, e, e, all up, kill phoenix, loot egg.
Same strategy as killing Verthandi, except use wimpy 255 because its perma-fireshield.
Sparking hammer is great against phoenix.
The egg does not load every time, but you can scry phoenix to see if it loaded.
You should kill a no-load Phoenix, as it may repop with egg.

Verthandi
To get to Verthandi:
Go to Phoenix, 3d 2e d.
Notes for killing Verthandi solo:
it is possible to flee north, west, or south from Verthandi.
the only entrance back to Verthand is from the north. If you flee west or south, follow the path north, then east until you're at the north flee room.
trap and clear each of the 3 fleeable rooms
keep corner 2 north of verthandi trapped
watch for rats on flee, have autosneak on
avoid ghosts, as they are very difficult
set wimpy 150
Verthandi stabs fast, so always run in and init magic missile for images or use colour spray
dispel, plague, blind, poison
Making Staff
After you kill Verthandi, be sure you have all 7 comps in inventory, and sleep. Staff is created when you wake in 3 minutes.
Make sure you're not formed when you sleep to make the staff.
You can only make 1 staff at a time, with 7x comps in your inventory, but you can repeat this step.
