The problem is that there is a healing ankh with those bonuses... a couple of plats anyway...

so then wouldn't this cesta pair nicely with that ankh to give:
halves casting time of healing prayers spells (36%)
halves skill recharge of healing prayers spells (38%)

(i'm pretty sure they stack cause i use Villnar's Claw (20% casting Curses) with the 20/20 Curses offhand and it seems about half the time SS casts in 1 second instead of 2.)

and a healing monk won't be wanding anything to death anyway ...

There was a similar debate some weeks ago if they stack or not.. i always thought that when u casted a spell the game did a double check (one with let's say 16% and the other 20% chances of faster cast) to give you the bonus, not a single check with 36% chances...not sure at all though.

oh yea, you're right about that. but my point was that they do add to each other.

(remembering the SoA axes ... 20% + 20% = 44% longer enchantments. yep, i timed it as i'm sure many others did too. man, solo farming sure was fun during those few short days. )

You're probably right on that, this game makes thing in the easy way. Like with that axe where the bonuses just adds up. Or when u custom a weapon, the 20% adds to the other dmg mod so that you have a 35% more dmg (for ex. when health is above 50), while i thought it was more reasonable that the 20% was referred only to the extra 15% (u would get not 35% more but the 20% more of 15%... not sure if i have been clear enough kinda twisting^^)

lol that was confusing but i got what you were trying to say. and i think you misread my post before cause i said 20 + 20 = 44, not 40. meaning it is multiplied twice, not just added then multiplied.

eg.
(1st +20% mod) 120% x 1 = 1.2
(2nd +20% mod) 120% x 1.2 = 1.44

and not

(1st + 2nd 20% mod) 140% x 1 = 1.4

anyway, i'm sure there are a few threads discussing this lying around somewhere.

Try seeing what ppl are willing to pay. I'd say try for at least 5k. Could get more, perhaps 10-15k. A smart monk will look past the fact that its not max dmg.

im not sure exactly what the mechanics are, but i alternate between the 20/20 collector and the stonehart and the 20/20 collector usually works a lot better in terms of recharge/fast cast.

i for one am not a monk that cares about doing damage with my wand...

thanks for the input guys, its too bad the percentages werent max im sure the cesta would have been worth a whole lot

the 2020 collector is an offhnd, and this is a weapon. meaning you can use both
