WOW! Staff of Magi

Remove all ads!

I just got the staff of Magi with my sorc. It's the first time I've gotten it and it is just...WOW! I would go so far to say it is overpowered. Permanent invisibility, prot. from evil and charm PLUS spell trap??!! I am thinking of kicking everyone out of my party (except my R/C)!!!

 

with a cloak of non-detection.....Awesome

 

That wouldn't be too far off

 

Now imagine it's power with a Fighter/Mage (or Kensai/Mage)!!!!

 

I heard it's even got a built in can-opener too!

 

never heard of it , where do I get it ?

 

Funny Aces It's the swiss army knive of BG2 staves.

Er, Isshy.. you get the Staff of the Magi from the Twisted Rune, not Kangaxx

 

I did Kangaxx last night also and guess I got 'em mixed up (too much ) I fixed the post. Thanks for the save Jhonka.

The protect from evil attribute seems not work, pit fiends still go after me. But yes, it's awesome

How did the battle go ?
I remember my lv14 sor had a hard time with them, gota use SI : divination, improved invis, melf meteor to kill Layene the mage, then grab the staff, used all the skull traps, sunfires left to kill Vaxxal the beholder, then left wish I had taken finger of death instead of Mordy

 

The battle went well Minh So. I had to do this battle twice because the first time the lich never left the table he stands on and after he was dead I couldn't get the loot. IIRC I think the first time the lich was the only one there and his friends never showed up and I killed him with ranged weapons. Maybe because I never actually entered the room. I sent in a wizard eye with monster summons (got the archer monsters) and with projected images. The second time wasn't TOO hard cuz I'm maxed out in levels. Hide in the corner, summons, lots of spell protections, Proj. Image, Haer'Dalis with Melfs Meteors, Keldorn with Caromsyr and True Sight, R/C with Crom Faeyr and Mace of Disruption/Cloak of Mirroring (he went in first of course after the summons, to get the beholders attention...love bouncing those beholder rays). The Sorcs and Imoens projected images casting sequenced/triggered protection removals then offensive spells (did I use Horrid Wilting? I think I did). I went for the lich first because he teleported right to me. Then the mage, then mopped up the rest. They went down hard with no party deaths. Was scary during the time stop though. I'm glad he focused on trying to kill my R/C instead of someone else. The dumb thing I did was cast death spell at the fiend thinking it was summoned...forgot it was gated. It did however take out the Skeleton Warrior they had turned against me.

 

1) I wonder if the protection from evil not working is not a bug fixed by an unofficial patch.
2) I like to give this staff to Imoen, among other uses she can detect & disarm traps while being invisible. Now, can Edwin do that?

 

Edwin has no thieving skills, so no, he cannot.

 

But Eddy does have a voiceset for pickpocketing, trap laying, and hiding

 

Everybody does. I've dualled him into a thief, once, using tomes of Dex, and it was fun experience. I remember that battle, and Edwin actually laid traps instead of Skull traps.

It's a pity this party has staff of the Magi, I mean, THEY could be easily killed by a low-level solo sorcerer with a staff of the Magi. But as they have it...

 

Wil,

the Baldurdash Fixpack includes a patch that restores the protection from evil effect to the staff of the magi.

 

This staff is not bad , but i have mood that give you Staff OF The DArk ArhiMage ... This staff ... is maybe the best in the game but there is a bug you do not see it and your mage can not fight But have the great ability "Cast 3 fingers of death to you and to your enemy neary without save " I have yoused it and if your mage have big saving you can kill dragon with it


For the battle first kill lyana then go for the beholder and the fighter but remembur YOU MUST HAVE MANY stupid spells ! Why ? When lich try to cast only tager him with one magic missle (a tactic and for dragons ) and summon every unit you can (without the elements when your mage is stuned and may not success and that make you another enemy ) That's All From ME
