Luminary Staff is a Mage staff for the brightest minds, and its strength is ice magic backed by deep mana reserves. Every ice spell cast from it hits harder, thanks to an enhancement that boosts all magic ice damage. Mana leech returns mana with each hit, and three extra levels of the Mana Currents skill help mana flow back during fights. Its own staff attacks also carry extra ice. It rewards an ice Mage who casts often and wants to stay out of mana trouble. Intelligence and ice Spell Charges make the most of its cold, brilliant power. Its lore claims only the brightest minds can wield it, along with those who simply believe they are the brightest. The Cinder's Cradle, final playground of clever Ancient inventors, is where this staff waits for an endgame Mage.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	10	11	12	16	18
10	23	26	29	38	41
20	38	42	48	62	68
30	54	59	67	86	94
40	68	75	86	110	121
50	84	92	104	134	147

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Alchemist raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. This weapon takes up to five upgrades. Every upgrade of one copy costs the same number of Runes. On a legendary copy, the fourth and fifth upgrades also take Legendary Runes. The costs are for a level 50 copy. Other copies cost more or less by level, as the second table shows.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect	Runes	Legendary Runes	NPC
1	Level +1	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	-	Alchemist
2	Level +2	Mana Leech	+9 Mana Leech	850	-	Alchemist
3	Level +3	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	-	Alchemist
4	Level +4	Mana Currents	+3 Mana Currents	850	106	Alchemist
5	Level +5	All Magic Ice Damage	+10% All Magic Ice Damage	850	106	Alchemist
Total	-	-	-	4,250	212	Alchemist

The rune cost depends only on the copy's level. This table shows the price of one upgrade and of every upgrade the copy can take, level by level.

Level	Upgrades	Runes per Upgrade	Total Runes	Total Legendary Runes
1	5	46	230	12
10	5	130	650	32
20	5	256	1,280	64
30	5	418	2,090	104
40	5	616	3,080	154
50	5	850	4,250	212
