Are weapons just randomly put together? this is by far the worst weapon I have ever seen. I don't know who's joke this is but it isnt cool. I'll post a screen shot when I can, but the stats of it is as follows.


why would a weapon have 3 conditions on it?

yes, they are random. I've seen 4. I swear there was a thread on this just yesterday. Deja vu.

Req 13 domination +1 death magic reduces fire magic and faster recharge on divine favor staves for the win? I see staves like that so often when I PvE you'd think it was intentional to make 1/20,000 staves suck...

req. 12 fire magic
Has a mod for:
reduces Illusion magic spells
+1 curses

When GW was launched last year in Apr, staves and wands always had mods and requirements belonging to at most 2 attributes of the same profession, just like collector's items.

Then someone suggested in Sardelac Sanitarium that it would be interesting to put mods from other professions to encourage diverse builds. Since then, things have never been the same

Two classes in a weapon... no problem.

That crazy thing has three classes!!

What, is that in case the person decides to change secondaries?!?!

ROFL... Sometimes random really sucks

With this item though, you could overwrite the +1 curses with a more useful wrap, or salvage out the curses wrap and make a few K.

Crazy stuff.

I would suggest salvaging the wrap, but half the time I salvage now I get neither the head nor the wrapping----but WOOD!!!
I remember when you would get either the wrapping or the head, and not just materials.....

Salvage and hope you get the +1 curses. Then pop it on a collectors staff or a more useful gold staff. I don't think it's really that bad. It just takes a little bit to get the base staff you want and then collect the mods you want.

Forgive my ignorance. I have only played warrior and I am not familiar with these mods. What makes this bad?

fire magic is an elementalist attribute
illusion magic is a mesmer attribute
curses is a necromancer attribute

understand why this staff makes little/no sense now? ^^

Yes if you use an expert salvage kit you will always get your runes.

And it really isn't that bad. You will get a lot of wood for crafting out of that or you will get the +4E mod or even better the +1 curses.

You just have to think outside the box a little bit. A little bit of creativity gets you a long way.

Yep, 4 seperate requirements/stats/attributes, etc is surely possible.

Ive had a couple of 3 attribute staffs myself but they only ever seem to come from chests, I've yet to see one with more than 2 different attributes drop from a creature, maybe it's just a chest thing?

I've had a few multy att items drop in my time. Some from monsters, some from chests. Best one I ever found used 3 different Elementalist attributes. I believe that dralspire found one that used 4 different Elementalist attributes.

And, yeah, the ones that are seriously multi classed are pretty funny, and terribly useless (3+ classes ftw!).

It wouldve made a sense if it was 3 different stats for 2 professions but this is just a pisstake...

how many god damn threads do there have to be about this subject.

having 3 mods on a weapon is not rare, so get over yourself.

either salvage it for a mod, or NPC it.

whining about it wont make the unwanted mods go away.

Nor will your rude and uncalled for post make threads like this stop showing up.

You always get runes out of "armor" dropped by monsters, player crafted armors still have a chance to salvage to materials.
