I am trying to get a good monk wand for Ogden set up. I only have Prophecies and Eye of the North at the moment.
Since there are no wands in prophecies I was looking at the wands available in EOTN.
They seem rather limited.
They are only available as 20% Half recharge, with +5 enchanted energy, +15 -1 regen, or +7 hexed energy.
I was thinking that maybe +5 while over 50% would be the best. Can I replace the inscription on these collector items with the one that I want or are they stuck in place like they are?

It is because several of the wand mods added in Factions just didn't exist. For example, prior to Factions release, wands could only have one modifier (20% recharge or +5 energy ^ 50, not both).
And stuff in Phrophecies doesn't have an inscription (again, inscriptions were introduced in Nightfall, stuff from older games do not have the features introduced since then).

After some more searching I found that I can have a weaponsmith make a basic Healing Rod, and I can put a wand wrap of memory for the 20% recharge, and inscribe with the +5 50% energy.
I'm just surprised at the lack of options from the collectors. I suppose if the collectors had all the weapon combinations, there would be no need for the weaponsmiths.

Additional question about weapon construction...
If I give Ogden a Healing Rod with a wrapping of memory (20% half spell recharge) and a Healing Ankh with an inscription of Forget me not (20% half spell recharge)
Does that give him two 20% chances for half recharge or do they not stack and he only gets 1 chance?

yeah, i believe it betters the chances, so you'd have a 40% chance if you have the weapon with the mod and the off hand and so on.

Well, the chances do stack, but you're adding two probabilities of the same thing happening. So you wind up with a net 36% chance at HSR. IIRC, Anet made the game so you couldn't get both the HSR's hitting at once and get a quarter spell recharge.
Whenever people talk about 40/40 sets though, that's what they mean. Weapon and offhand, each of which has a 20 HSR and a 20 HCT. In reality, it's a 36/36 set.
I find you can get a 20/20 offhand for most any attribute from Prophecies and/or Factions collectors. 20/20 wands I usually craft from the Factions weaponsmiths in the towns with the 15k Luxon and Kurzick armor.
If you don't have Factions, maybe you have a trustworthy friend who does? It costs a 5k crafting fee plus some materials to make those wands. The crafted item doesn't come customized, so someone else could pick it up for you.
Cheers!
