Hi folks,
I admit, I am not very experienced in crafting, so maybe I am just a dumb fellow asking questions that have been answered a thousand times; however, if you can enhance my understanding, my honest thanks:
I try to craft 100% ele black staffs. There is this sticky that says the following:
100% elemental black staff: Oak saw + Powerful + Quality
(difficulty: moderate)
I tried to follow this, but I think I don't get it right.
First, what is your basis? Since the staffs will be imbued and I also need the DI on them later, I would always craft excep items with + 40 DI on them. However, in another "100% ele thread" (covering axes) ppl said you should take normal crafted weapons for reforging. If I search for 100% ele damage black staffs on vendors, I only find 100% normal crafted staffs. Can you explain the reason for this to me?
Now back to the sticky: What does "Powerful & Quality" actually mean? If I just take "Powerful" on the reforging menu, I don't have the option to choose a name ("of Quality"). I have to take "Powerful & Grand Artifice & Inspired Artifice" to choose the option "Exquisite/of Quality". However, in this thread
[Bowcraft/Fletching] - Reforging for 100% Elemental bows
they say just take "Powerful" for reforging the bows and also state that you should go the same way if dealing with carpentry.
Now I took all this information and buyed some oak runic saws and started reforging.
First try was:
- excep crafted, +40% DI black staff, reforged with just choosing "Powerful": Result of about 100 tries: Tons of mods, but not one elemental modified weapon (not even a 30/70 one).
Secend try was:
- excep crafted, +40% DI black staff, reforged with choosing "Powerful & Grand & Inspired" and then "Exquisite/of Quality": about 60 tries, one single 30/70 cold damage staff but with also 70% lower requirement mod = worthless.
So, before I go on and burn tons of saws in this really annoying and tiring "crafting" grind - if you can, plz give me any hint what exactly to do to get these weapons
Thx, and kind regards
