[Dev] Prism Staff (All Elemental Staves Combined)

That's what I was thinking about too. What if they wanted to keep upgrading the ToM staves, but you already had combined your staves into one staff. I guess you would be ***out of luck.

There was a long stretch of trials that were only level 75, I could see the same for level 99.

My problem I have with that theory is... what about those stupid relic aura's?

How do they continue with that? Is it going to be ridiculous trials for NQ level 99 relic and then super easy for HQ level 99 relic?

I just don't see how they could possibly continue, it seems like the end with that update.

I was thinking about a combined staff. If they let you combine the staff now and added more trials later for the individual staves, why couldn't just make the requirement for the upgraded combined staff the items it would take to upgrade each staff separately.

No it doesn't, magian staves are more powerful!

I'd be happy if they simply gave individual names per elemental magian staff rather than manually swapping it out with each nuke/cast.

But I suppose this prism thing is a good direction to take.

They did that last update :(

Each staff has a roman numeral at the end so you can macro between each option within the elemental family group.

Arka I
Arka II
Arka III
Arka IV

Oh, shows how much I've been paying attention!
Especially since I don't play anymore :P

Most likely Tanakafication of the upgrade/merge process:

Step 1) Acquire all 8 HQ elemental staves. No Augments or Signatures.

Step 2) Acquire all 8 HQ elemental gems and all 8 elemental stones.

Step 3) Go to Full Moon Fountain for a CS.

Step 4) Talk to a Magian Moogle who will come up with some stupid reason that you have to kill a set of 300 of such and such monsters with each element.

Step 5) The moogle will tell you to go to Full Moon Fountain.

Step 6) Go to Full Moon Fountain to come to the amazing realization that the moogle failed to impart upon you the simple facts that you cannot get the next cutscene unless it's a New Moon on Lightsday.

Step 7) After waiting for the planets to align, trade all 8 staves, then all 8 gems, then all 8 stones to the BC entrance to trigger a battle against all of the avatars at once, whose stats and levels have been raised to be a challenge to level 99 players.

Step 8) Complete the fight. Upon success, you will receive a cutscene and your staff. Upon failure, you have to start again from step 1.

For your efforts you are given:

Prism Staff
DMG: 51 Delay: 356
STR+9 DEX+9 VIT+9 AGI+9 INT+9 MND+9 CHR+9
Cure Potency +10% MP Recovered While Healing +10
(Affinity: magic attack +2, magic accuracy +2, avatar perpetuation cost -3)
Lv.99 WAR/MNK/DRK/SAM

I dunno Proth... Don't quite see PUP in those jobs

There will be a puppet attachment questable version, don't worry.

For those awesome drk nukes.

Enhances the effect of cheese sandwiches.

i *** WISH

Sad part is, when we joke about things like this; they actually take into credible consideration for future development.
I'm only half kidding :/

So much hate for Tanaka...damn.. It's (the game in its current state) not THAT bad lol...

They have no idea
They just poking buttons at this point I am sure

Late, but yeah I guess I worded that wrong. I meant that it's kind of a *** move to not let the people who put in all that extra effort to make better staves have a combined staff for inventory saving.

in the current state no, but only because he was gone for awhile.

It looks like they took a lemon italian ice and moved it around in the sun to see what kind of rainbows they'd get, then they translated that onto an Apollo's Staff using a shitty Photoshop filter.



Nvm, that would be way too colorful.

Tha...that's it? Nah you're joking, almost got me there, that can't be what they've been working on all this time. Nope.

People are never happy!

lol...

It probably has an aura as well, I don't think model viewers can display or detect if weapons/armor have one or not.


Just my guess.

As smn, the only ToM I have is for garuda, this would really lighten the load.

Sure hope so. :c You almost get more of a rainbow effect from in-game lighting on a Light Staff compared to that.

Why would they use the coolest looking, Plenitas virga, for what they did instead of making this more so the melee staff?

I can't wait to see if this and lots of new stuff are worth it. If not then well I'm sure everyone's gonna recall this little funny quote.

Camate Community Rep		-NECRO BUMP DETECTED!- ...but it's for a good cause! I just got the latest look at the stats on the Prism Staff (name pending)! 【HQ stats】 D45 Delay 356 STR+5 DEX+5 VIT+5 AGI+5 INT+5 MND+5 CHR+5 All elemental resistances+20 Cure potency+10% Healing MP+10 Iridescence (※1) Magic attack bonus, magic accuracy bonus, and avatar perpetuation cost-3 for each element (※2) Lv.61~ ※1　This is the name of an original effect for the Prism Staff, which makes this staff strongly affected by weather. ※2　This is the hidden effect, though I guess it is not really "hidden."
