Magic Staves and Spellcraft

Boni to Spellcraft on magic staves have no effect, nor are they reflected in the character sheet. This is true even for those staves that come with a bonus to Spellcraft by default.

Have you already reached your +50 enhancment cap by chance?  I have had the flow-watcher staff work properly.

I had entirely forgotten the fact that I already reached that cap without any staff equipped. Thanks, Manny.

Thus this thread should be closed. My apologies for this hasty bug report.

been there done that.... many times.  Now you just need to crash the server in a spectacular manner to be a true aenean addict   Don't forget to blame Ray when you do crash the server.

In case you reincarnate/ascend, the bonus from that also counts toward the cap.

As for crashing, it seems something has improved server-side, since the most I'm getting out of my AoE spells is an additional time-stopping property in some areas. Gathering every fields of death skeleton before sunbursting them all used to be a pretty reliable way, but now...

That info might come in handy later, thank you Lasombra.

As for crashing the server...nobody could be more innocent than I. Except maybe that one time, when Larron was holding a thundering speech in front of a few misguided citizens. Unfortunately, the speech met with little enthusiasm on part of the citizens and so it came to a riot - Larron might have had to defend himself with an AoE spell....

That's what they all say before shamelessly entering the temple of Sorgath.
