Lack of caster weapons

Basically, there’s tons of interesting rare crafts of 2H swords, spears and stuff. Some to the extent where you can combine two rare crafts into purple crafts that are somewhat powerful for their level.

The recipes and materials for those are mostly farmable from regular mobs too.

There’s nothing similar with interesting properties such as +aoe values or whatever when it comes to staffs or rods. I’m looking at arca staff being the only real exception. That’s a highest tier craft and there’s absolutely no information on where to find the recipe for that not to mention it’s most certainly going to be a field boss that you couldn’t solo if you wanted, much less find when you want to.

Caster gear is lackluster and needs some variation. Obviously this is a beta so it’s only natural that content is missing.

It just seems odd that it’s missing mostly for certain classes. Noteworthy? You tell me. It’d be nice to be able to grind for something or to spend money on something instead of just sitting around.

We playing the same game? There are lots of good blue and purple rods/staffs/caster daggers

There’s a few interesting ones, but they’re mostly low level. Along with that, most blues even to higher levels are like + damage to beast types and such, and not very much. Along with that most of the interesting decent 2h swords or spears and such that are blue recipes drop from normal mobs pretty close to the 120 range. Even their commons drop from normal mobs while also being in most boss drop pools. Then you look at say the square staff. It drops from 5 bosses, of which I think you actually fight maybe 2 or 3 of within that level pool. And then for blues in that range, one is from a chest but is odd and overall weaker, one doesn’t even exist in our client considering it isn’t possible to add from the buy-in shop and one is from a recipe that even the datamine can’t determine the drop location of and the recipe uses an item that I believe is dummied out. The other one is a dummied out staff. Odds are very good you’ll use nothing but common staves the whole time you play a wizard class unless you bother to make the expecta or Ludas, as most of the others either hardly drop or don’t seem to have a recipe that’s able to drop. Unless you get a purple out of a world boss or somebody figures out where to get the Arca recipe, which still probably isn’t worth using over a 170 common besides the mage staff.

Staves also don’t scale nearly as well as melee weapons, but that’s another story.

You are right, the melee weapon have more and more bonus then a simple staff, you can find more easy amor too that give you stats bonus for melee, i find a weapon one hand 50 critical attack, 66 magic attack, physical attack 65-76, dark reistance 14,(spiked mace) nice for cleric.

i have a wiz high lvl i never find a good recipe staff, only the base dmg who make me change staff no more.

but don’t care, only the mage who can t bruild physical or half, is 3 jobs that can be physical why more gear but the only that can be magic only is the weakest classes atm with the most poor gear variation, + the stats weakest in game.

Enjoy your mage.

Sure we are. I’m just not sure if you’ve played wizard at all. And if you did, did you get anywhere? I’m 148 Wiz/Cryo2/Ele2 right now and I’ve got millions and millions that I simply cannot spend on anything. Attributes are up to their 50s and ive upgraded what gear I have. There’s just no item diversity if you reach this bracket. Which I’m going to assume you have not.

aaand, where to get Arca Staff recipe? :slight_smile:

My highest wizard is in the 75 threshold for gear i spend most of my time on clerics but i use a rod on that as well.

Lots of good rods, where? Seriously, the best rod for a Cryomancer from 40-120 is still the flippin’ Ice Rod.There is no real variety unless you are a Pyro and use mostly fire spells/non-elemental.
