Along with the rest of the wands, the Teacher Wand has experienced a large increase in price since the drop changes made in PvP worlds. This was the same update that stopped the Abyssal Whip, and many other items, being dropped as a regular loot item. It has the same magic bonus as an Ancient Staff, however does not require a quest or attack level, useful for mage pures. Although the Teacher Wand could also be hard to sell in the Grand Exchange.
