Bugged Staff? Or is this just rare?

In FoW today, I got this staff. I found it strange that it dropped with the stats it did, but not sure if it's a bug or just stupidly rare?

Insightful Shadow Staff of Divine Favor - Gold and uninscribable
HSC of spells (20%)
Energy +10
Max Damage Req.9 Channeling Magic
HCT of Death Magic Spells (20%)
Energy +4
Divine Favor +1 (20% While using skills)

Is this rare, bugged and/or valuable??

Staff Wrapping of Divine Favour for the +1/20%. Not sure about the Death Magic, probably a quirk of Prophecies' silly item system.

EDIT: It might be valuable to collectors, I don't know. Check and see if there's such thing as an HCT for specific attributes (instead of item's attribute) for staffs. If there is, no. If there isn't, there's sure to be some idiot who'll pay for it.

Mods are switchable. It's not rare to see unrelated mods on staves and wands. Having unrelated mods on a staff would not make it valuable, sry. If it did, I'd be slapping unrelated mods on tons of golds and selling them.

There isn't a weap mod that does HCT/specific, but Prophecies weaps drop with inherent mods, and they don't have to be related to the item's attribute.

This I have a +1/20% fire magic I found on a death magic staff.

nothing special im afraid.. happens everywhere

just a messed up eventuallity of the old prophecies drop system >_< quite retarded that weapons do that

[Edit: Don't circumvent the filter. - JR]

I'm curious as to now he got an old school channeling staff from FoW...

Shadow, Raven, and so on, staffs can drop with any caster attribute in Prophecies/Core.

I love the old school prophecies drops <3

Can't remember how many oddball shields I have with +1 caster attributes on them.

Look what I found on my old Screenshots:



As it's on Spanish, I'll translate:

Earth Wand
11-22 r9 Earth Magic
HRT 20% Water Magic
HCT 20% Air Magic.

LOL

Useless? Yes, it is

Baku, perfect for a Master of Magic build .

The OP's staff is perfect for a Ritualist Necro-monk.

True, didn't thought about that

I have my Elementalist as a mule so...

lol nice. to OP: welcome to the world of FoW. it's the only place wammos could get a tactics shield with a +1/20% for healing spells. most of the time the drops go "randomize" and you get screwed. it sucks, but its been that way forever.

Nothing new.

It's rare in the sense that any particular combo of attributes is rare, but as has been said, weapons with odd-ball combos are not rare in Prophecies, Factions, or FoW (but are you sure you don't mean Sorrow's Furnace?)

On the other hand, since you don't use a staff for the damage, the Channeling Magic requirement is unimportant. The HCT of DM spells could be useful for a Necro build or x/N build that uses Death Magic.

The Insightful (+4 energy) staff head and Divine Favor staff wrapping, can, of course, be changed.

P.s. One of my Monks uses an Celestial Staff that requires Illusion Magic and has HCT of Smiting Prayers, which fits very nicely into her RoJ build.

I've seen a picture of a wand with e-storage/DF/FC req & bonuses, so it can be pretty crazy combinations.

Prophecies items are all random. This is common.

Not bugged.
Not rare.
Utterly useless.

Welcome to the Prophcies/Factions item generation system for caster weapons. Almost every caster weapon you find will be junk like that.
