Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems [DE BUG?] Crafting Staff seem bugged

Have anyone been able to make a staff in D:OS2 DE that has anything other than fire damage. Since I started this game I have tried to make staff several times and every single time it become a staff with fire damage. Seems rather odd to me that the element isn't random like it has been so far, unless you have changed it so that we need something other than a shell to make a staff with a different element.

But to be perfectly honest, I would prefer that it wasn't random, but instead you needed to use three components to make a staff of the element you want, like long stick + shell +a scroll of the element you want, or a mushroom, or something else that's related to the element you want to make the staff for. Also adding pixi dust gives the staff a random extra point in an ability, skill, or whatever.

If that were the case, you would have needed at least 3 components to make any staff to begin with. Having fire as the default element for 2 components and requiring additional components to make any other element doesn't make sense. Not to mention, if nothing else, the shells are more water-related than fire.

That said, at this point we might as well just pray that the next Divinity game will have a group of devs who actually sit down and focus on designing a real, proper crafting system that has a bit of depth and is fun to play with.

I would actually like crafting to be more focused on usable items like potions, scrolls, skill books and such and instead make weapon crafting about adding to weapons that we find/buy, like with the runes, but more options. Weapons and armors having more expansion slots the better they are, like blue and green having one expansion slot and the next color on the line having two and so on.

Okay.. So it's not just the staff crafting that's bugged. Wands are effected by it too.

I saved my game having 6 skulls and shells and tried to make wands and staffs and then load and try again. I did this 4 times with the same results every time, I ended up with 6 fire wands and 6 fire staffs all 4 times.
