Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Magic Staffs

Will Larian be adding Staff of Power and Staff of the Magi to the game? I really hope so! Really cool weapons.

Just a hunch since my understanding is, BG3 caps at level 10, we probably won't see either until later expansions or DLC that extends levels. Staff of Power is usually reserved for levels 11 and up so I guess there's some chance it may show up. But Staff of the Magi is a legendary staff. It'd be pretty OP for a lower level group. I can be wrong and if so I'm sure those better versed than I will correct me.

how do we know the game caps at level 10 exactly? seeing this more often on the forums could you point me to a source for that?

I found this while dissecting the files:

It doesn't necessarily mean that it's final, but it's a hint.

I dunno, seems off considering if you complete everything in EA if there was no level cap you'd easily be able to hit level 5 or 6 depending on how min maxy you wanna be, I don't think its gonna cap at 10 considering you'd probably hit that at the end of act 2 or somewhere in the beginning of 3, I'm gonna be probably needlessly hopeful and guess that maaaaybeee we're gonna get act 2 available in EA and a level cap raised to 10?

We need more weapons and artifacts for the mage!
Standard staves are boring and useless, we need something to enhance our magical power and spells

I agree that it sounds off that they will be capping it at level 10 the reason for this is a fighter if I'm not mistaken gets a 1D10 or 1d12 hit die for hit points when they level up. If this Is true that would mean that enemies like the Matriarch spider are around level 10 or so right now which would be 2 1/2 times our max level right now in EA. IIRC even the first 2 BG games went higher than Level 10 but then again it's been a while since I've played them. Wonder if it would be worth me buying them off steam and playing them once again?

Anyone heard if were still going to get a Jan update and if it will be adding game play to the game?

BG1 level cap was 10. BG2 level cap was 30 I think but by the end you were essentially a demigod. 5E caps at 20. I honestly don't know if BG3 will cap at 10, it's hinted that way. Also people need to understand as you get higher levels, leveling itself starts to slow down. But I am pretty sure we won't go past level 11 or 12 (it's around this point where your characters really become crazy powerful). If they want to create expansions, you need some room to level to 20.

I think the davs said first that lv cap is 10, later they said it could be higher than 10 but we do not reach 20. I do not find a source at the moment.
Given that we can reach lv5 in the first act, more than 10 is likely.
