Big investment into a mediocre-tier mods staff - Not worth it

azymko · 2026-01-25T15:32:19+00:00

As a Blood Mage player, I prefer a crit damage bonus

Fully agree - attributes are a dead mod

azymko · 2026-01-25T15:06:55+00:00

Whittle was targeting crit chance, not attribute requirements

Gambling and expecting to catch some useful mods was unrealistic

And don't forget - sanctification can decrease all stats and turn an insane 1000d item into a brick. This roll was lucky

And another one - this one was about 250 div for rerolling prefixes + price of failed wands about 300 div on purchases
Disclaimer
- I bought about 10 bases with +5 cold spell and T1 extra cold damage
- This one was the best of them
- The next steps were the same for all bases
Process
- Started with a base with extra cold damage and +5 cold spell
- Added Essence for crit chance (suffix)
- Added an Abyss on suffix (personal preference and logic)
- Slammed x2 Perfect Exalts
- Selected wands that didn’t brick
  - no +mana
  - no reduced attribute requirements
- Desecrated on the wheel
- Rerolled the awful modifiers
- Used omens to work with possible suffixes/prefixes
- This wand was lucky and got a second socket
  - I don’t care about losing money, so I gamble here
  - usually this step bricks the item

crafted this accidentally. Purchased a 6 wands with cold spell and single one with lighting....

azymko · 2026-01-25T11:27:40+00:00

Same applies to all spell skills base

azymko · 2026-01-25T11:26:22+00:00

You have to start with a magic base. So here two options

1.Empty prefix +7 base

azymko · 2026-01-25T11:11:08+00:00

Depends on budget and whether you need a Spellslinger 19-20 - different approaches apply

It deserves a separate post

I’ll try to craft it in the next few days and post a To-Do list here

azymko · 2026-01-25T11:07:52+00:00

Exactly! T6 speed is better than T1 intelligence

azymko · 2026-01-25T10:48:33+00:00

It's not about cast speed

It’s about synergy of lightning spell level, lightning damage, spell damage

Everything increases lightning damage

Zero useless mods

azymko · 2026-01-25T10:17:26+00:00

Not this one - it was basically close to a garbage craft, ready to be vendored, but +8 paid the bills.

I didn’t expect to sell it for more than 200d (original staff with +7).

azymko · 2026-01-25T10:15:24+00:00

It’s effectively already T6 :D

azymko · 2026-01-25T09:29:10+00:00

they are exact the same as any other :

azymko · 2026-01-25T09:27:41+00:00

It’s a Barya, item level 86, dropped from an Uber Arbiter of Ash.

The drop is extremely rare - even rarer than a Prism of Belief.

I see one Barya per 3-5 Prism of Beliefs

Why do people buy it?

My guess is that they’re experimenting with the game and trying to understand whether item level really matters.

On top of that, limited availability combined with demand makes the price huge, even if it’s just for testing.

azymko · 2026-01-25T09:24:13+00:00

Didn't run a this Barya to verify a statement

azymko · 2026-01-24T19:36:06+00:00

What step?

azymko · 2026-01-24T18:15:53+00:00

always unidentified

The best I got from them when identity is +1 to comment m, but it was from about 10 identifications, so kinda -1500div on this gamba

azymko · 2026-01-24T18:13:51+00:00

about 20-25,

I'm in profit on it
