Charge Rate

Other staves have their elemental charge rates listed.

As Demonic equipment are the designated end-game gear of the game, it would be pretty useful if the end-game mage weapon had its charge rates listed for comparison.

Are you referring to these tables?

I find them redundant because the "Other Information" section already lists the rates. Though, it doesn't list charge durations. Which, by the way, do they vary by staff?

Yes, they vary. Some, like the Trinity staff take a bunch of charges to charge up, but others (I believe White Wing is an example) have lowered requirements while yet others do not have charging.

I believe you misunderstood which part I was talking about that varies. I know that charge rates vary (they're all listed under the staff), but I was talking about the durations.

...Durations vary? That doesn't sound right. I have an Andris I bought for 100K. I can run some tests.

Durations don't vary on staff o-o

The endgame staff right now would be a hermit staff crafted at +8 magic dmg and fully upgraded. Infinity staff only beats hermit for bolts, and most people don't even use bolts right now.

Doesn't charging the staff with an elemental also apply to intermediate and advanced magic? Or does that only apply to bolts?

The category page says bolts only, and IIRC i asked on a talk page somewhere and got that same answer.
