Staff of Power or Ring of Wizardry?

Manwe · 12-06-2001, 07:38 AM

In the planar sphere should i tell my apprentices to make the Staff of Power or the RIng of WIzardry? (Or can i get the ring from another place?) Which is better to use when i'm a sorcerer? And where can i get the Staff of the Magi?

Staff of Magi is available once you kick the Twisted ruins ass.

He can be found in the bridge district but youll need a rogue stone to get into his chamber!

The Ring of Wizardry is far more useful. If you want a kickass staff, get the Staff of Magi.

You can get another Ring of Wizardry if you have Jaheira in your group. Her subquests leads to a fight with several Harpers and one of them drops the ring.

PS: You do know that this will kill your apprentices right? Just checking.

if they make the staff then they all die, if they make the ring - two die. i let them off making the third item but i do regret it a bit now - the ring is useful as it gives you a few extra spells. i didn't get no exp reward for letting them live but a while later one of them returned and now makes potions for me - hmmmmm, useless. it's up to you - as i am a chaotic good character it didn't seem right to do it any other way.

What about the cloak which gives you like ac3 or something like that?

What does the Staff of Power do anyway?

Bear in mind that the Staff of Magi has the AC and saving throw bonus as well and more.

Staff of the Magi is just a tad on the cheesy side for me though. It means victories wouldn't be satisying (no fun if it's not fair).
