Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Mage's weapon

I never remember equiping any kind of oak or willow thing in DD, but in BD, there are those trash things, what makes it worse, the staffs in BD are not for spell casting purpose, they became melee weapons, don't they?

What really suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks is that crossbows and willows cannot be sharpened. WHY!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

There were no oak wands or willows in DD. Staves are melee weapons; neither game required or used them for spell casting.

Crossbows can not be sharpened because they are ranged weapons. Realistically, it would have to be the arrows that could be sharpened. Converting normal arrows to power arrows has pretty much the same effect (piercing damage of normal arrows is 5-12, while power arrows do 42-90).

Willows are spiritual based weapons, and the damage is not dependent on how pointy they are.

Ok, for the first part, the staves are used for spell casting in Diablo, not in DD, which I think is more reasonable(what are mages if they don't have staves or wands, huh?).
While by "sharpen" we should not only mean "make the weapon pointy", we should mean "enhance", so that we can change a normal bow/crossbow into a power bow/crowssbow. No matter how pointy a pan is, it can never reach the quality of a normal sword by commonsense, right? But in BD, pans can be sharpened while willows and bows/crossbows cannot be enhanced, this is very weird. By craftmanship, surely we can convert a normal willow into a magically powerful super weapon, cannot we?
The idea of converting arrows is tipically on the wrong end. The damage of an arrow should be based on the bow/crossbow apart from their fire/water/earth/etc properties. The more powerful the bow/crossbow is, the more damage the arrow will do, doesn't this sound more reasonable?

Staff= walking stick in DD.
Willow wand, etc, in BD= magical power plus good hit.

where would the walking stick be?? i never saw the thing ever throughtout the game and i beat it 3 times now and i never get sick of it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />and i just got <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> so i am playing that and i did the thingy where u blow up the cidital but i dont know where i should go and please if you can please tell where i shold go!!!!!!! i have been everywhere and cant find my way!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> its a secret <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I found a walking stick in act 1, on a table in the training room on the pit level (with the poisoned imp / bony monster), west of the library. A couple others were dropped randomly or offered for sale.

After blowing up the citadel, you are in act 2. Explore the island, and then rescue a couple imps from the prison when you are done. One of the imps will show you how to leave the island.

Hmmmm the part where i loved killing monsters most <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> you get to kill for keys...

The thief in me, just cant resist <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

is it strong or is it just for walking or something like that and is it called a walking stick????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xmassmiley.gif" alt="" />

It is called a walking stick. I replaced the club I was using, and it remained my hero's weapon for awhile (I found a club that did better damage later, and switched to a crossbow once I reached the citadel).

My hero is using Zandalor's Stick (or whatever it's called <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ). I'm now somewhere in act4 and it's still is doing it's work.
