Crystalfire Spellstaff

This is the Inscription crafted intellect staff in WoD.

Stage 1 - [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=113134&bonus=525]ilvl 630[/url] Stage 2 - [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=113134&bonus=558]ilvl 645[/url] Stage 3 - [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=113134&bonus=559]ilvl 660[/url] Stage 4 - [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=113134&bonus=594]ilvl 675[/url]

Use a [item=128010] to upgrade from stages 1-4.

Stage 5 - [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=113134&bonus=619]ilvl 690[/url] using [item=127717] Stage 6 - [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=113134&bonus=620]ilvl 705[/url] using [item=127735]

The techniques for [item=127717] and [item=127735] can be bought and learned via the [url=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=91031]herb[/url] [url=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=91404]trader[/url] in your tier 3 garrison by a character with the inscription skill.

The random enchantment can be re-randomized via a [item=113289].

Upgraded ilvls via [currency=1191] during any stage will be retained even after crafting to a higher stage.

Your Scribe's Quarters can craft the original ilvl 630 version but not the crystals. You'll need to have a friend with Inscription make these for you, as they do not appear to be BoP.

this means that this page is wrong. here on wowhead stage2 is listed as ilvl645 and stage3 is ilvl660

Confirming that Wowhead is correct. Just upgraded to Stage 2/3 and it is indeed iLevel 645. The tooltip for the upgrade Magical Crystal is incorrect.

How do you Upgrade from 4 to 5 ? on the staff ? I have my Inscriders Hut that is lvl 700/700 and haven't figured out how yet....

Is this really meant to have double the spellpower of the higher item level epics out of Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry?

No, this will be hotfixed before WoD Release: https://twitter.com/nite_moogle/status/532319535051718657

Most likely a reference to [item=24069] from the "[b][i]The Burning Crusade[/i][/b]" dungeon "[i][b]Hellfire Ramparts[/b][/i]". The original staff is usually one of the first staffs people would normally get when they begin questing above 60, so it is somewhat fitting that the new [item=113134] will most likely be one of the first staffs people will get as they begin questing above 90.

I'd agree with you except for the fact that the staff from Ramparts never drops unless you don't need it. Lock finally got it though!...........at 90

Has a really cool unique transmog for the level 3, dunno about a 120k one though.

Finally a use for all this [item=4470 ] I've been storing up!

Why do the crafted Staff's start at ilvl 630 and not 640 like all other crafted items?

All the weapons start at 630. They did this in MoP, too. Weapons from the Timeless Isle, for example, were a teir lower than armour from the same place.

Crafted items in WOD can be made to have perfect or near-perfect stats for your class:spec using the stat reroll items, so they easily make raid drops obsolete. Stopping them at 655 means that they only obsolete Highmaul Normal items. Weapons are the single biggest contributor to output for DPS, and big deals for tanks and healers (I don't play them so I can't say for sure), so a crafted 670 weapon with perfect stats would be a mandatory pick unless you're at the very head of the raiding race.

Because the ilvl budget is not comparable to armor since weapons have the addition of spell or attack power.

Might not be the right place for this and sorry if it's a stupid question. Can anyone confirm that using the upgrade on these staffs will or will not remove any enchantment you might have on it?

Confirmed: Any existing enchantment is kept; upgrading does not affect the enchantment.

WoD [b]Crafted Cloaks, Weapons, Shields[/b] will not be created containing, and will [b]NOT REROLL[/b] to contain, [b]Spirit[/b] or [b]Bonus Armor[/b] (Healer or Tank, respectively). Only the 10 types of <Random Enchantment> from this chart, not including the 10 Bonus Armor and Spirit, will be created or rerolled: [url=http://compuball.com/forum/WoWRandomEnchantment.png]<Random Enchantment Table>[/url]

As info, this upgraded weapon doesn't register for the weapon slot for Savagely Epic, even after it upgrades to level 645: [code]http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/15492009112[/code] It appears to be a known bug.

Thanks for this, this needs it's own topic honestly!

Excellent graphic on those types of staves. Thank you very much :D

You have saved me the hugest headache ever. May the wow gods bless you with much awesomeness :D

Hugely helpful tyvm :)

As you know we get secondary stats on this staff in pairs. It’s impossible to get single secondary stat on it. Stats in a pair are random. But values of those stats are dependent from each other. For example, if one of stats for this staff item level 630 has a value of 127 then the value of another stat will always be 85. I mean you will never get both secondary stats at 127 value. There are several fixed combinations of those values. Which combination of values you get is depends on random.

I was experimenting with rerolls of stats trying to get ideal combination for my specialization (and I have got it!). I have made something about 100 rerolls. Here are combinations of stat values that I have seen for item level 630: [code]127 85 126 87 124 90 123 93 121 95 120 98 118 101 116 103 115 106 113 109 111 111[/code] Please pay attention that I have never seen combinations with highest stat at 125, 122, 119, 117, 114 and 112. Most probably those combinations aren’t exist.

I hope this information will help you when you will do rerolls trying to get ideal combination. Good luck :)

For transmogrifying purposes only, you only need to upgrade WoD profession gear to the 3rd stage to unlock all appearances. You can save your Felblight for something else.

Thank you! Exactly what I wanted to know.

Note that with Shadowlands pre-patch, 9.0.2 the upgraded versions are no longer obtainable via crafting, but may be obtainable on the Auction House. Blizzard have said they intend to re-introduce them "at a later date" with [item=128010], [item=127717] and [item=127735] becoming grey items (and presumably being removed from the inscription crafting list).

I wasn't aware that they were thinking of bringing them back, but I REALLY hope they do. There were so many really good mog pieces I wanted to get, but with the way the WoD crafting was set up, it took SO long to make everything. (Although, I did really like that it kept crafted items relevant - usually those plummet in value each xpac as soon as people start raiding.)

- - - So as of 10.0.5 - - - If you want to have the three version of the transmog items Unique-Equipped: Warlords Crafted gear, you will need to craft and equip ALL THREE SEPERATLY! I have just crafted Crystlalfire Spellstaff level 3 using the "Remarkable Weapon Crystal" ( Purple ) in Inscription, I already knew the original level 1 transmog, but on equiping the level 3 staff I just crafted, it DID NOT give me the level 2 appearance as well! Meaning you will need to craft the first item, then learn level 2 ( Blue ) essence + craft the item AGAIN AND learn level 3 ( purple ) essence AND craft the item for a third time! Remember they are part of the new crafting system, so you will need to add them on WHILST CRAFTING...NOT, like you did in WoD, were you have them as an item and clicked onto the item you wanted to upgrade! I.E "Savage Weapon Crystal" which become grey items and being removed from crafting lists.
