Are there any good staves in the game for a wizzard ?
If yes where are they what do they do and what do they cost or take to get ?

Btw how about rings for a wizzard or amulets any rings with extra spells etc ?

***spoilerish***

Not that I've seen, at least nothing that compares to some of the stuff that melee classes get. There is a Staff of the Magi (a la Baldur's Gate 2) but the stats on it has been butchered to near ueslessness.

Translation: "The staff of the magi has been de-cheesed"

Probably not a bad thing...

On a more productive and spamless note - all of the item stats can be found on the neverwinter nights section of this website - if you join flashlink.

Well, I know it still dispels, on hit I believe, but the DC is very low. There probably is something else, but if it was good, I would've remembered, and being the item hoarder that I am, I would've kept it and been able to check. Since I can't do either of those things, it must've been much less than spectacular.

Staff of the Magi is a rather weak item that simply let you cast a lot of different spells:

Req lv 18
50 charges
Cast Spell: Dispel Magic (5) 1 Charge/Use
Cast Spell: Fireball (10) 2 Charges/Use
Cast Spell: Ice Storm (9) 2 Charges/Use
Cast Spell: Invisibility (3) 1 Charge/Use
Cast Spell: Light (1) 0 Charges/Use
Cast Spell: Lightning Bolt (10) 2 Charges/Use
Cast Spell: Mage Armor (2) 0 Charges/Use
Enhancement Bonus +1
On Hit: Dispel Magic DC=14
Use Limitation: Class: Sorcerer
Use Limitation: Class: Wizard

Staff of Valmaxian is probably better, AC wise
req lv 16
charge 50

AC Bonus +2
Cast Spell: Chain Lightning (11) 5 Charges/Use
Cast Spell: Ethereal Visage (9) 5 Charges/Use
Cast Spell: Fireball (5) 3 Charges/Use
Enhancement Bonus +3
Use Limitation: Class: Sorcerer
Use Limitation: Class: Wizard

Then perhaps you like Staff of Magi better. If you want a good staff, make one yourself. If you feel bad just giving it to yourself, then make a merchant and buy it from him.

mmmm looking at those I think Meldanen his stave is probably the best in the game then grin since it has the feature penetration on it so that saves you one
