Why are there no randart elemental staves?

[Hurricos]

Seriously. Devs, get on this.

That is, make enhancer staves have randart versions.

[archaeo]

Why should these be added to the game?

[yesno]

what does this mean? the game should generate enhancer staves with randart properties? or spell school enhancement should be a randart property?

[Hurricos]

Why should these be added to the game?

Because currently enhancers staves are boring and dull, while still being very good weapons in the right hands. Take a TeAr, for example - find a Staff of Air and absolutely trash everything that comes in your way using the passive.

That, and randarts exist for literally every other weapon type besides thrown ammo.

And rods, and decks, and...

Rods are not weapons. Neither are decks. Anything else you'd like to add before you board the wrongtrain today, duvi?

[yesno]

My first thought was like archaeo's and duvessa, basically "Why?" and "well enhancer staves are like rods basically" but i don't actually think it would be bad to have randart enhancer staves... The thing is though that randart enhancer staves would basically just be randart quarterstaves with an enhancer property, so if someone implemented this, then spell school enhancement would just be a randart property, and there would be no real reason i can think of for it to apply only to quarterstaves. There already exist unrand weapons that function as spell enhancers, so i don't really see why not. Finding a good randart weapon with an enhancement bonus would be fun, might provide incentive to train a spell school you otherwise might not have considered, and in most cases wouldn't be much different apart having a good randart weapon plus an enhancer staff, except you might spend less time swapping weapons.

also fwiw rods have enchantment bonuses, whereas staves can't be enchanted even though they are basically normal melee weapons with a spell enhancer property. it would be nice to have more incentive to use the melee abilities of staves.

Rods are not weapons. Neither are decks.

They're about as good of weapons as half the enhancer staves are.

Randarts is what makes the game boring and dull, actually.

  Code:

 N - the +1 hat of the Shoals (worn) {rElec rF++ rN+++ SInv}
   (You found it on level 1 of the Spider Nest)   
   
   It greatly protects you from fire.
   It insulates you from electricity.
   It renders you almost immune to negative energy.
   It lets you see invisible.
