as you can see I dont know much about staffs!

Max on Vampiric Axe hafts is 3:-1, just like swords

All zealous upgrades seem to be missing (axe, bow, hammer, axe).

All are 1:-1 of course

_jew

hmmmm what about zealous sword hilts?

Oops on the zealous.

and I used to have a 5/-1 vampiric axe haft, so unless they changed it, they are around!

For the Slaying grips, (e.g. Trollslaying) you should just say [monster]slaying, since there's an assload of different monsters for them.

My strategy guide also says it's 10-30% but I think it's full of shit.

Defensive items also go from 4-8, not 2-5.

Oh and you can have defensive staff heads.

Don't forget the random un-upgradable mods you can have on items.

10-20% under half health
10-15% over half health
10-15% against hexed
10-20% while hexed
10-15% while stanced
10-15% while enchanted
10-15% anytime with -1hp degen or -10 armor while attacking

10-20% faster cast using X skills
10-20% faster skill recharge using X skills
5-10% faster cast using all skills
5-10% faster skill recharge using all skills

mods you can have on artifacts are usually +10-45 health while (condition) and +4-8 armor while (condition)

on wands you can have +1-5 energy under a condition

faster recovery from dazed/crippled/poisoned/blinded/bleeding/deepwound/disease

on shields too I think they have 10-45hp under hexed/stanced/enchanted
-1 to -3 damage taken under a certain condition or 2-10% of the time.


...of course these aren't upgrades, but still! >.>

-edit-

Oh, and you can have even more specific defenses, as well.

For example I found a rare shield the other day with +8 vs Slashing, and my friend found a rare buckler with +8 vs Cold.

Another thing is that on shields you can have a +1 (skill) (10-20% chance while using skills)

the 2 aforementioned shields had +17% tactics and +19% blood magic respectively, and I just found a +16% divine favor eternal shield the other day....which is useless since divine favor and strength are both class-specific speclines -_-;;

Thanks for the heads up on the defensive items, ill edit that in now!

Incorrect. Max on Defensive upgrades is Armor +5.

Max on Shelter (vs. physical) and Warding (vs. elemental) upgrades is Armor +7.

Edit: Also, you're missing...

Cruel Axe Haft/Hammer Haft/Sword Pommel (Lengthens Deep Wound duration)

Crippling Axe Haft / Sword Pommel (Lengthens Cripple Duration)

Heavy Hammer Haft / Axe Haft (Lengthens Weakness Duration)

Poisoner's Axe Haft/ Sword Pommel (Lengthens Poision Duration)

Insightfull staff head (+1-5)E

ok, if the max on defensive is +5, was I right on the +2 being the minimum?

same question for the shelter and warding?

Nice thread. When the chart is complete, i am sure it will be amongst those which regularly get linked to, or indeed stickied!

I didn't know that zealous only has maximum of 1. Thanks!

it annoyed me that I could never find any difinitive list, so I thought, get off your ar$e and make one!

Vampiric Axe: 1-3max (like sword) not 1-5 (hammer/bow only)

No such thing as a barbed hammer haft. Why lengthen the bleeding duration on a hammer if the only way to cause bleeding with it is through Desperation Blow?

removed barbed hammer haft.

so, does anyone actually now for SURE the minmum/maximum of defence upgrades?

I had an axe of defense with armor+6 (but it had that when it dropped). Gold item which I have not salvaged to find out if it might be an actual mod or if it is just a built in mod....yet.

You guys are probably aware of this page, aren't you?

Granted, that page is a bit outdated and this thread could proof to gather more correct and complete information, so ... by all means ... go ahead and keep the info comming.

These no longer spawn. 3 is the current max.

I've also made a list (not using this one, so data may not be exact).

Today I picked up a 'Furious Sword of Pruning' (+10 against plants).

Seriously - I thought it was some kind of joke.
