You can't. A staff can only be 40/20. A wand/offhand set can be 40/40.

Staff 40/20:
Inherent mod (HRT 20%)
Adept staff head (HCT 20%)
"Aptitude Not Attitude" inscription (HCT 20%)

Wand/offhand 40/40:
Wand Wrapping of Memory (HRT 20%)
"Aptitude Not Attitude" inscription (HCT 20%)
Focus Core of Aptitude (HCT 20%)
"Forget Me Not" inscription (HRT 20%)

You will still be able to put a wrap on the staff but it only has +10 energy. Take your pick as far as what is important to you. Most people will choose the enchant or fortitude wrap.

The wand/focus is maxed, but it should have a +12 energy. So it will end up being whatever is more important to you.


Prices for mods will vary, typically:
Adept staff head (HCT 20%), 1k-3k
"Aptitude Not Attitude" inscription (HCT 20%), 4k-8k
Focus Core of Aptitude (HCT 20%), 4k-8k
"Forget Me Not" inscription (HRT 20%), this one will be expensive, expect to pay over 20k

These prices may not be exact, but it's what I have seen in Kamadan.

Or search in the sell-section first. Might be quicker and cheaper.

Btw: does your staff have an inscription-slot?

I Usually find staves more effecient in pve for a couple reasons.

1) Usually energy managment is not about your inital pool, but by how you cast spells. Elementalists are the exception to this rule. I don't believe an extra 2 will help.

2) Enchanting and fortitude wraps are very helpful depening on the build.

3) 20/20 is enough personally. I never really go 40/20 or 40/40 unless its a farming build where it really helps, like restoration wand/focus for VwK warrior.

but these are just my opinions.

If the offhand insc is too much, you can always get a 20/20 offhand from a collector such ashim or her.

If your looking for a 40/40 illusion combo, then I would recommend

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droknar%27s_Scepter
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droknar%27s_Focus

You can pick up two Droknar keys and pay a monk to beat the Great destroyer for less than the cost of the Forget Me Not inscription.

I would keep the staff and mod it especially if its inscribable. I love my Ghostly energy storage staff. You probably will not miss the 40/40 that much.

staves r only good for 1 thing: enchantments
and in most cases tend to be a swap set...not ur main set

(also for non-caster classes that need energy...trappers, da sins, melandru dervs, etc)

mesmer generally has no use wutsoever for a staff
