Ritualist Weapons Question

To be honest, I'm really annoyed there is no green 20/20 communing staff with +60 health. That is a channelling one, but no communing.

Anyway, due to never having energy problems I want the +60 health.

My only other options with greens are +30/+5e to get 20/20 by using the Wayward Wand and Straw Effigy. I dont mind this, but I really do want the +60 health.

Does anyone know if this staff is appearing in nightfall?

Even if not, I've decided im gonna buy a gold 20/20 communing staff, and add 60 health myself.

So, what I want to know is what ritualist skins are the rarest on staffs, and is it possible to get a gold 20/20 drop?

Ive been using a collectors staff, but hate the skin.

Thanx for your time!

You should be able to make the staff with a 19 or 20% HSR mod without too much trouble as long as you can find the base item.

A Hale Staff of Fortitude should be possible.
req whatever 11-22 20% recharge communing health +30 +30

Forget looking for a perfect 20/20 gold staff in any profession. They're rare as hell. Even a 19% HSR would be great. Just add the Hale and Fortitude mods yourself.
As for skins I would say you will be restricted to whatever staffs drop in Cantha (yeah I know obvious). I don't think skins are particular to a mod since its random so i guess you will go hunting for that favourite skin of yours with that favourite mod as well

Happy hunting. Better you than me

I know the list of skins, but I'm wondering what is probably the rarest staff skin for a rit.

So your saying its not possible to get 20/20 off a drop?

It's possible, just not very probable. If you are going to try to buy a rare 20/20 staff, be prepared to lighten your wallet...

I know what you mean about the staves for ritualists being, well, less than attractive. Personally I find the celestial staves to have a really nice skin...although, as has already been said, a 20/20 drop is going to be excessively unlikely. I have a gold celestial staff with a restoration requirement on which itself is rare...it requires 12 which ordinarily would be a nuisance however I have 16 in restoration so no problem.

Perhaps you could place an advert on the GWG "WTB" forum in the Ventari's Sell section I think...someone may just happen to notice it and let you know...also unless the extra few % makes all the difference to you, I would go with the first staff that came my way even if it wasn't 20/20...maybe 18/19 instead, purely due to the fact that you might be waiting a very long time for a 20/20 to appear.

Why buy a gold one? Get the collector's 20/20 communing staff, add a +30 staff head (normally costs around 3K) and a +30 staff wrapping (normally costs around 5K).... for 8K, you have your perfect staff.

^take Jetdoc's advice.

You won't be able to take the mods off with a Ex. Salvage kit, but you are adding some of the cheapest mods in the game to it anyway :\

If you read the topic, I state in the OP that I currently use a collectors staff, and it has both mods.

My initial gripe is that there are no greens with the same stats for communing (where by there is channelling).

I like nice skins, and having rare things, which is why I dont want the collectors one.

People buy Crystalines etc for a reason...I'm one of those people :P
