Yet another Final Rest theory! Let me try to explain why i believe it drops from the Shadow Behemoth chest. Lets start with the 2 things we've been told by anet:

    "The only hint I will give on Final Rest is this: You cannot make it. It is dropped from a LARGE boss chest." ~ Linsey Murdock

and

    "It’s exactly as Linsey stated previously—it’s a loot drop from a specific (rare) boss." ~ Jeffrey Vaughn

Assuming they are both right, you can get it from a chest which spawns after killing a specific rare boss. Linsey says "large boss chest". This can be read as:

    Chest from a large boss
    Large chest from a boss

Now let's take a look at all the different types of OPEN WORLD chests:

If we scrap a few chests, based on the following ideas:

    Every chest that has the same name has the same loot tables, and Final Rest drops from a chest that is unique = we can scrap all chests which have more than 1 spawn location.
    Spawns after defeating a boss = no jumping puzzle chest.
    Chest that have been in game since before halloween update.
    Doesn't drop from dragons - have been farmed alot
    The chest OR the boss has to be LARGE.

The only chests we have left are:

    Ancient Treasure (Megadestroyer)
    Swamp Chest (Giant Jungle Wurm)
    Shadow Behemoth Chest

But Final Rest is a lvl 80 exotic staff, why would it drop from a < lvl 15 boss? Well, if we take a look at the Swamp Chest drops, we can find a lvl 80 exotic focus that drops from this chest only: Wisteria (please correct me if i'm wrong here). Wisteria has a skin that fits the jungle/wilderness theme. So this means it could be possible that Final Rest drops from one of these chests.

The story and lore behind the Shadow Behemoth tells us that it's a creature from the Underworld. The Underworld is supposed to be the place where Grenth sends spirits to their final resting place:

    When the body dies, the spirit will often move on to the Mists, usually the Underworld - though there are cases where spirits end up elsewhere due to external forces. Here the spirits are judged by Grenth for their actions in life and sent to their final resting place..

We also know the Mad King's Realm is within the underworld. During the halloween event there were Gargoyles which came from the underworld. However, these dont look like the gargoyles from GW1 or the one from the Final Rest staff.

But the Shadow Behemoth event is known to alot of players, wouldn't it have dropped by now? Maybe, maybe not. I have never seen the event myself, and i have done Queensdale on 3 different characters. I only know the event from watching videos before GW2 launch. There are alot of forum posts on the official forums that say the event is bugged ALOT. Anet has confirmed this. So this means the chest doesn't get looted that very often. To get a lvl 80 item, your character has to be lvl 80 aswel. So i wonder, how often does this chest get looted by lvl 80 characters? Often enough to get an exotic staff which has a low drop chance?

Final note: i only considered open world chests, not dungeon chests. I'm under the impression these have been looted enough times by now...

Well this was my whole theory on Final Rest. Let me know what you think about it and tell me if i made any mistakes.

Dommage, c'est pas le même prix pour le baton d'Halloween, je le trouvais sublime sur une Sylvari nécromante de couleur noir.

Au passage concernant le bâton... Je veux pas faire mon rabat-joie (ah ba si enfaite  ) mais j'ai vu plusieurs joueurs se plaindre d'avoir un problème de lancement de sort quand ils équipaient le bâton. Certains disent que le bâton est bug. Info ou intox je ne sais pas je préviens juste ^^'
