In FoW today, I got this staff. I found it strange that it dropped with the stats it did, but not sure if it's a bug or just stupidly rare?
Insightful Shadow Staff of Divine Favor - Gold and uninscribable
HSC of spells (20%)
Energy +10
Max Damage Req.9 Channeling Magic
HCT of Death Magic Spells (20%)
Energy +4
Divine Favor +1 (20% While using skills)
Is this rare, bugged and/or valuable??
Bugged Staff? Or is this just rare?

EDIT: It might be valuable to collectors, I don't know. Check and see if there's such thing as an HCT for specific attributes (instead of item's attribute) for staffs. If there is, no. If there isn't, there's sure to be some idiot who'll pay for it.

Mods are switchable. It's not rare to see unrelated mods on staves and wands. Having unrelated mods on a staff would not make it valuable, sry. If it did, I'd be slapping unrelated mods on tons of golds and selling them.

Shadow, Raven, and so on, staffs can drop with any caster attribute in Prophecies/Core.

I love the old school prophecies drops <3
Can't remember how many oddball shields I have with +1 caster attributes on them.

The OP's staff is perfect for a Ritualist Necro-monk.

On the other hand, since you don't use a staff for the damage, the Channeling Magic requirement is unimportant. The HCT of DM spells could be useful for a Necro build or x/N build that uses Death Magic.
The Insightful (+4 energy) staff head and Divine Favor staff wrapping, can, of course, be changed.
P.s. One of my Monks uses an Celestial Staff that requires Illusion Magic and has HCT of Smiting Prayers, which fits very nicely into her RoJ build.

I've seen a picture of a wand with e-storage/DF/FC req & bonuses, so it can be pretty crazy combinations.

Prophecies items are all random. This is common.

Not bugged.
Not rare.
Utterly useless.
Welcome to the Prophcies/Factions item generation system for caster weapons. Almost every caster weapon you find will be junk like that.

That staff is practically a 20/20 Death Magic staff without the ability to wand for damage and without compatibility with Adept Head. It is somewhat limiting it's usability but if you don't plan to use Adept Head or wand for damage you'll see no difference in it's performance compared to one that would have a matching requirement. As such some of rare skin 20/20 staffs with unmatching requirement still have some decent value, not as oddball collector items but as actually somewhat useful pieces. Shadow Staff however is on the lower end among them since FoW is always heavily farmed.
Talking about actual rarity, in Prophecies and Factions any multiprofession Staff (one that can drop with requirements for different professions) has it's inherent HCT mod selected from a list covering most attributes from all 5 caster professions, with the same chance for every attribute HCT. So for every one with matching req and hct you'll find 16 or 17 (can't remember exactly at the moment) unmatching ones, some of which will at least be from the same profession. The chances are much better for staffs that drop only for one profession since they will only have HCT mod selected from that professions' attributes.
