Price Check +5 Thaumaturgy Quarterstaff of Enchantment Mastery

[ChicagoChris]

Any idea what this quaterstaff would be worth?



I'm thinking in the 500,000pp + range, but I'm not sure.

I imagine its closer to what a vendor would give you for it. Problems I see:

Not a arcane staff due to radiance.
Enchantment mastery not real useful to a divine.
Spell power is 114, not 120.

Maybe someone would find it useful, but I can't imagine getting a lot for it.

Agreed.

Generally caster sticks aren't worth a lot unless they are in one of these two categories:

a) Matching damage type and lore at a min level people look for upgrades (eg ML 12 Impulse of Kinetic Lore for when divines get Bladebarrier, or ML 14 fire for when Sorcs get DBF). These sell at 30-100k PP on the AH.

b) +6 enhancement bonus sticks with a good mastery (as these are +3 DC instead of +2). These vary from 250-500k PP (for two-handed ones) to far too valuable to trade on the AH (for a perfect combination like Devotion of Evocation Mastery or a useful element of Necromatic Mastery which would both go for 3-5m PP in trade value)

Excuse the ignorance, have been playing Melee's and am looking at a TR into a cleric/FS or Sorc.

I guess this article http://ddowiki.com/page/Thaumaturgy is a little confusing.

I did realize its the 114 not 120 bonus, but thought that the force/light combo was pretty cool.

So looking http://ddowiki.com/page/Light_spells and http://ddowiki.com/page/Force_spells I see that there's not a lot of overlap - light for clerics/FS and low level force for Soc/Wiz.

So with the greater <focus> mastery, this would have been better as a Greater Force/Radiance Mastery rather than Enchantment

And ideally, a Thaumaturgy with fire/Elect/cold/Acid potency plus a Spell lore/focus/Mastery/Penetration in the same school is the MacDaddy.

By the way - it was a breakable drop :-)

Worth adding that Thaumaturgy staves are generally weaker than two scepters.

Assuming ML 25, Thaumaturgy has Potency 80 and two element boosts at 120, plus one suffix.

Two scepters will have two elements at 120 (or one element plus potency 80) plus two suffixes. Given how powerful the Mastery suffixes are, it's hard indeed for a T-staff to match.

Using 2 one-handers also allows versatility in swapping.

Radiance - Light Spells
Impulse - Blade Barrier
Enchantment Mastery - Greater Command
+ Spell Pen IX

Looks like a pretty good Divine staff to me

Not offering to buy it but thinking that you might sell it on the AH for a lot more than people in this thread are positing.

500k plus however does seem on the high side - I'd try 100k bid, 200k buyout if I was putting it on the AH and go from there.

Most divines would want evocation or necromancy. It's not even a +3 enchantment to boot. I don't think it is worth more than vendor. Maybe 10K on the AH to help out new players.
