Armour defense, forged on weapons just like you would forge Damage Drop. Only Armour defense is far superior if you're not to the fullest geared. It boosts both your physical as well as your magical total defense.

Only for pvE, it's rather a waste in pvP.
You'd need to forge with 3x armour defense option (Flag of Roha if i'm not mistaken) and one hp/mp leech option (teardrops of Edoneh). Ideally you get about 20+% AD. Unfortunately these are not sold on IM... unless that has changed (although I doubt that), and can only be found ingame.
As for rates, well - that's just luck for you. It's supposed to be increased rates on Jainus but.. yeah.
I have just looked through my accounts, but I'm sorry to say that I cannot find these AD staffs laying around. I've only gone through 24 characters and 4 warehouses, however - so it may be possible it's laying around elsewhere.
Will continue to look out on the other chars, but it's quite a hassle reloading the client every time due to NO EFFIN SERVER BUTTON.
I was fairly convinced I had some, though. Not sure what I did with it. I'm pretty much of a hoarder, you see...
Positive side of the story (for me, alas), is that i discovered an account with a free skill reset and a whole bunch of 300% exp scrolls, drop seal, 2 HK's and the whole shebang - so that saves me some troubles on the scout.
Unfortunately it's also on the same account as the priest, which appears to be having 3 free lv7 stones. Oh well - so much for dual logging.
Not sure if I forged it, bought it or borrowed it - but I did use a Valentino AD staff on my wizard(s) ... it's however a very long time since I played one of these and I honestly cannot say what I did with it (sold it/traded it/ gave it back..).
I'm quite certain, though, that I did have AD lower level staffs laying around (for lvls 30 till 60-ish), but I'm oblivious to whatever happened to that as well. I may well have sold, deleted, gave away or otherwise got rid of those.
