As the title says, this is not a bug, more feedback...

The Initiate's Conduit (Wizard) staff is designed to be used by a low level wizard. It has cheapish components, and a low DC to make, but it currently has a required level to use of 16, the same required level as the Arcane Conduit (Wizard) staff.

I don't expect this is deliberate, more likely an oversight.

Any chance of this being adjusted?

Oh shit, for real?

If this is the case I'll get a fix asap.

Can you get me a screenshot of this?

Currently the low level one on my end does not have an item level requirement nor was it it updated or migrated so I am honestly confused.

I just right now crafted that staff, among others, for my shop and I can confirm it has an item level requirement of 16, as do all the low-level staffs. I've crafted and stocked all of these within the last 7 days for point of reference.
- initiate's conduit (sorcerer)
- initiate's conduit (wizard)
- hermetic totem
- cleric's staff
- gleeman's travel staff
- favored's rod
- natural focus

All of the "elite" staffs have a properly functioning item level of 21, not 16.
Sorry for no screenshots, I've never figured out how to make them work with how this forum uses embeds and all that. In lieu of that you can go to Stink's Woodworks in the Devil's Table main market area and see all the staffs in stock.

Kalo found the issue and it'll be fixed soon.

Basically? Weapon type items have an inherent ILR tied to gold value.

...staves have more gold value now.

Therefore, yikes.

Newly crafted staves will have the correct level requirement from next reset on :)

is the sequencer wizard staff int 16 or 18? I thought it was 18 originally, has it been updated?
