Question concerning staff of the triumvirate.

[忍者 Tortuga]

Careful, some spoilers ahead!
So, I've done all I needed to turn it into an activated staff. First thing it told me was to head to the archivist and talk to him. So I did that ( even though I had already done it before, but this time I kept the staff in my inventory, specifically my hotbar).
Afterwards he started talking about the giant-kings being Sets favourite and told me to ask "one of the triumvirate" about it. Talked to the archivist again, talked to Klael as well but didn't get any new info from the staff afterwards.. Does it expect me to "ask" the priestking? He doesn't say anything concerning Set so I'm wondering where the hell I'm supposed to go right now..
Anybody able to tell me the next step?

Would be interesting to know if there is something else.

Personally I think most of the dialogue / monologues we get are just that with no connection to anything else. Like Conan and Razma wanting to go together but never do, regardless what you do. So each time you start the recorded message it plays out exactly the same even though she'll soon be forgetting everything so you better hurry.

Clue: Staff is used in a very special place, you can find clues in world. Listen also exactly what the alchemist tell you.
I know, it's not very explicite, but still, yes, staff isn't useles.

Yeah, i was kinda disappointed about that as well! After I talked to Razma I immediately went over to Conan to tell him about her and he just noted that I was obviously looking for answers... Hell yeah, I am! Just seems I ain't getting any..
But in this case with the staff, he actually said something else after I did the first thing he told me to do, so I'm wondering what could get him to drop the next info,

Hm, alright, so I'm gonna go listen to the archivist again, because I think that's who you meant. If not, please elaborate who you mean by "alchemist" ;)
I know the staff isn't useless but I don't know how to trigger his next dialogue option.

Person that's been captured in the staff used to be an alchemist serving priestking until he did something that ended in priestking cursing him into the staff. He tells you that when you use the staff first time.

Ok, wow. He didn't tell me that. Or I didn't read between the lines enough, or I accidentally skipped something. But I activated him several times so far and the first dialogue NEVER told me anything about this. Thanks man!

It would be great if items like the staff actually gave extra commentary when used in additional places and I mean apart from it's prime location at ToB. If the portal was actually use able, rather than just a nice visual effect.

Speaking of that do any of you know if the final boss has been fixed with the ring of Set?

The Journey tells you more about the story, then any dialog do.

Following the staff's instructions will loosely lead you on the path of acquiring the pieces you need to create The Keystone. Which, when used, essentially show you some end game cinematics and then takes you back to character creation. Being as most people play the game online with other people, following this path would result in you resetting your character and starting over on the server again. Since most people would never want to do this in a continuous online environment the staff has kind of fell by the wayside as a solo/single player lore device to give you some insight into the lore of Conan and roughly how progression works in the game. As of now it's simply a one shot item to follow it's story to the end and then you would progress to online play. No indications from Funcom if this Staff/Storyline are ever going to be updated with new content or not, but considering the primary function of the game is an online multiplayer environment I kind of doubt it.
