LoL...so, you end up with a Hogwart's wand?

Pretty much. And you can't remove the upgrades, only replace them. Basically you end up with a glowing wand forever, unless you salvage it
I like hogwarts wands. This will be a rare item then!!
Works fine for me, the Hakkon Staff at least.
edit:disregard that, my mistake

So its the blade that makes it invisible?

This one looks awesome, if this is a glitch I'd rather leave it in o.o

That is its actual model. Yeah, I can see how the conflict came up. The blade and grip don't conform to that very unique model's shape at all. Killer looking staff; the blade and grip model should just not be visible on this one.
Yeah, it's probably because the staff doesn't have an upgraded model. In SP there's only a runeslot for the thing, no grip or blade slots IIRC. Same with Yavanalis.
I got yavanalis today and it still looks like a staff after upgrading. Disappoint.
Yo Luke, I know youve read this thread, can we expect this to be fixed any time soon? Hakkons wisdom looks really ugly at the moment :/
