yeah there's no "legit" way to level past 27 i think someone said was their highest...and even that is pushing it and milking every last fight. Once an area is cleared , that's all there is. Complaining about quest loot scaling to a level never intended to be reached during "normal" play doesn't make sense. Obviously BW is planning to release DLCs and that is why loot scaled and enemy levels scale. Stop cheating levels and complaining. Cheat all ya want but accept that the game mechanics won't support it, at least on DLC items or quest loot.

I keep asking it because in don't get the staff I fully understand how the quest works. It's just that I'm not receiving said reward for doing it.


On my playthrough, I rec'd the quest to go to the hanged man for Fenris to see his sister (I believe I went during the day, unsure if that matters). Danarius shows up, words are exchanged, fight begins.

I killed all the spawns before going after Danarius (Dispel Magic is helpful to keep him from casting AoEs). As soon as Danarius died, I was forced into a cutscene, so I had no way to loot his corpse. Despite that, once I regained control of my party outside the hanged man, the Eye of the Storm had been placed in my inventory along with a Centurion Chestpiece.

I play on PC, and I wonder if part of the issue is different platforms? For instance, there is an Enigma entry that Xbox users can obtain in Viscount's Keep that PC users cannot (currently).

Sucks that you had to jump through so many hoops to get it to work finally, but congrats.

It's short for Primeval Lyrium Rune, you get it during one of Varic's companion quests if you don't let him keep the fragment of the lyrium idol he finds in Bartrand's mansion and then take the fragment to Sandal.

It's a weapon rune, and boosts attack speed of the weapon by 35%. You only get one.

What does Final Thought look like (Ill probably not be able to get it) (Couldn't get Cold-Blooded becuase of the price as well )

Currently Using Voracity (which I quite resent for looking the same as Valdasine, IT wouldve been better if that staff looked like Parthalan instead)

Have a Primal/blood Mage/Force mage build, so it seems as though Corrupted Acolytes staff suits best (But obtaining voracity was quite hard >_> ), despite the 46 mana for 117 attack trade off... (still don't get what attack does for staffs though >_> )

What about Tigers Tail btw?

109 attack
+6% critical chance
+15% critical damage
seems quite good to me no?

The Tiger staff looks like a great staff for a critical damage (dex based) build.

Your text was invisible (sorry if it was intended :D ) - Ninja'd:ph34r:

I think the closest you can get if you want use a staff in combat mainly, put some buff spells in their and you can create some kind monk like class I guess?

Still wondering on how Final Though looks like though...

Am I missing something here? I have played the game through 4 times now, you dont need to worry about highest dmg, best dmg for mages, if you party with Aveline, mage, merill, and Ander, and keep even 2 star gear on all of them / you, the game is easy with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 fights, no matter what difficulty your on... and waiting until Act 3 to get the best staff for 100+ gold is simply insane, as Act 3 is insanely short so saving up that kind of gold for a staff your going to use for maybe 2 hours is a bit insane.
