It seems I'm not the only one using what I call "war staves" with 20% recharge, 40% casting, +1 attribute. People normally put Energy +5 and Health +30 / +45 Ench, but in my case I like to use the weapon as it is, a weapon, to inflict (or help) as much damage as possible. The only difference with your set is that in my case I use a focus instead a shield (but also with the +1). In my case with my Ele I always go with 20 points in attribute (21 with the staff wrapping) to hit as hard as possible with Air Magic on single targets.

For Spirit Spammer my personal (and in my opinion best choice) is to have a staff like the Phoenix Retribution.
It adds Channeling Magic +1 (20% chance) to boost the invocation of spirits with an extra level (increasing the health and damage they do). This staff is very cheap in the market, you can buy one for 2 ectos.
And as Unholy well said, the "casting time" mod in this case is useless, because spirits are not spells, so instead wasting 2 slots of mods with casting time, use a +5 Energy and +30HP (like the Phoenix Retribution). Also, the inherent recharge time of the Phoenix Retribution helps to recharge, for example, Boon of Creation, Painful Bond or Summon Spirits.

What would happen if the wrap is added to a no-attribute item, as in Q0? or Master of My Domain to a Q0 shield..does it have a chance to raise any attributes?
I don't have Q0 weapons, but if anyone has any I can lend the wrapping to try xD
-
Okay, except the forced attribute both work the same way regarding the description itself, as I thought then.
I wanted to ask because in this game we all know that every little description can change a thing xD
Thanks both (and cool collection the one from Oldschool Cool, I'm seeing the thread and it's really amazing).

It's probably nothing and the functionality the same, but I was upgrading some weapons when I realized about this (sorry for the delay if this was obvious, but first time seeing it in my case):
Basically what you see in the picture, one says Chance: 10-20% and the other 10-20% chance while using skills.

The Q13 Air dropped me yesterday when I killed the Mesmer's Construct while the favor of the gods was active.
Now I only need to find one of Water Magic.

Hello.
I'm interested in x2 Dolyak Prod Staff if possible, please. I want to mod one for running with energy and another with health for normal PvE.
IGN in my profile, but I will contact you if see you online.

Wiki is dead wrong on this
I find it hard to believe that NONE of the 25+ NF/eotn drops reported on the dead staff talk page were all air, spawn, etc and not a single one was a "uninsc only" attrib.
People are lazy, its not the wikis fault.
I just wanted to know if it was wrong or missing info pending to update, that's all, and it's solved now, thanks to both. I didn't want to start a discussion for this triviality xD :V
-
This is really helpful, thank you very much.
I will make a Poisoned Outcrops run (from Lair of the Forgotten) with the dots in the map to add it to the post when I have time again, because there is where I found all my Ancient Bows collection in purple and gold rarity from Locked Chests, and I know there are other people trying to find them too.
-
Do you collect other things related to ancient egypt?
No, I only buy weapons inside the game, in real life I don't collect. I have enough with virtual items, no need for more outside xD
-
According to Guild Wiki, the Dead Staff is inscribable only with 3 attributes, but today a Q9 Air Magic inscribable dropped to a friend:
So I have to assume the info in the Wiki is wrong. I'm not expert in the sources of the Wiki, but I guess it's based on peoples own experiences playing the game. Where does the "inscribable only" line come from? Because it's strange that in so many years no one noticed this to edit the page.
-
Good thread, I would like to hear it too.
In my case was because I wanted to update the photos of the Guild Wiki of each weapon page, there are many that are in very very poor quality and resolution.
I started buying weapons only because the skin, for 1-3k, regardless the Q or rarity, to replace the old pictures with new ones with max. settings and the option of Anti-Aliasing 8X activated. Then at the beach of Great Temple of Balthazar (and using the GW Toolbox "/camera unlock" command) I took the photos with better light, better angles, zoom, etc, with the character facing the sun and inside the seashore to have the background in blue or white depending the color of the weapon (some fits better with the color of the water or the color of the sky/clouds, for example for the Ancient Daggers I used the sky background, because the blade is grey). Then in Photoshop I apply a Color Balance +10 in Blue to have the original color of the environment regardless the sunlight (in this case, at GToB). And then the Wiki.
From that moment, when I saw that I already had a long collection, I started collecting weapons for my daily use and personal storage, golds, greens, Q9's, etc. I checked all the galleries of weapons of the Guild Wiki to write a list of everything I wanted, and I started buying everything with patience. Some were farmed, others were bought and others were given to me for free, it has been a mix.
And the last set of weapons to finish everything was the Ancient ones, that I acquired yesterday finally. Since kid I have loved Egypt and the mysteries of ancient civilizations thanks to Stargate (1994) and Stargate SG-1 (1997), so every environment containing dust, sand, pyramids, ruins, deserts, wastelands, dry plants, temples, stones, grey skies, ruined buildings/constructions, archaic legends, old myths or stories, etc, etc, etc, they make me immerse myself in the history of the place and I want to know everything of it (that's the reason of Nightfall being my favorite game, regarding the wastelands and African landscapes). I also love the Elona Desert from Prophecies, it's a pity that ArenaNet never finished the Lonely Vigil or Glint Statues missions.
I still have many weapons in the Xunlai pending to update in the Wiki, I have to find the time, but I already updated 90 or so, so patience and step by step.

I have plenty of photos of Nightfall but this one is one of my favorites.

After some weeks between buying, treasuring and farming, today the last weapon of the Ancient collection dropped to a friend when we were going to farm a green bow.
With this my Ancient weapons collection (plus the Vabbian bows set and Talon Daggers set) is completed, and I've been able finally to update the photos of the Guild Wiki in better quality, which was the second purpose of this project (the first is that I like archeology, Egypt and antiquities, and collecting these weapons from old civilizations -insert Nightfall lore time- has been a joy to me).

I buy all this. You whispered me yesterday regarding the daggers, but we still have pending the trade xD

The matching gold value makes this that much cooler!
I'm really glad you finally found the FDS of 51 gold value, I felt really bad when you whispered to me and it was sold already, I never imagined the coincidece of value with the shield until you told me.

Ornate Scythe Q9 (x2) - both, 3e ea
Kaolin Wand - 2e, the boss is super easy to kill but i'm lazy as hell x)

Emma I have the same set of Tyrian wands (plus focus) but inscribable, your OldSchool ones are amazing, I hope that one day you will get the Q9 for Fire, Air and Earth.

Ostona now we need to the the GV after ID
No, no, mine will stay like this

Mr. Clean(-Value) I finished testing it, Pleikki is correct.
OS IDS, no gold value on the item and gold value of 35g when you try to sell it to the merch.
OS IDS after using an ID kit, gold value=232g
I confirm it too, just to have 2 pictures:

Back in the day, to enter the Mursaat fortress in Abbadon's Mouth without dying, a high command meeting in the round table had to be set up to create a super master plan.
-
Nothing spectacular, but I like "normal" shields in appearance, so another Q9 for the collection.
