Do Mantids outside Nahpui Quarter drop celestial staves? I know they come out of the chests but I've never seen one drop.

Mantid Monitor and Mantid Drones? Yes, randomly, but nothing really specific or unique ('green') worth mentioning, if that's what you're asking.

I have had a Celestial shield drop once, but that was many moons ago. Pleikki is right though - the Vermins and the kappa around the city drop celestial weapons more often then the mantids.

Vermin are pretty easy to farm and Iv gotten several celestial weapons from them in the past.

You could run people trough naphui quarter and open chests on the way, its a pretty easy run and even opening chest you will have plenty of time to get masters.

I don't remember getting Celestial Staves or Scepters from Vermins, just Shields, Swords, Axes and Hammers (I don't say they can't because I haven't farmed them heavily enough, just can't remember getting even one). Mantids and Temple Guardians however certainly do drop Cele Staves/Scepters as I got multiples.
