Mage stronghold
Mage stronghold
Finishing the mage stronghold and getting the staff of power. Has anyone done this and what is the trick. Do you have to use un-hacked characters. Everything I've tried just winds up with the apprentices blowing themselves up.
No matter what,they will die. Whether or not the staff gets made is left to chance, i think.
If I asked, would you answer? Its your problem. Its a deep, deep problem. I have no way to ask about that... I have no elegant way of stepping into your heart without tracking in filth. So I will wait. Someday, when you want to tell me, tell me then. -Bleach

There is a procedure to get the Staff of Power. You can read the details at the Mage Quests on the SoA Walkthrough.

And, of course, you won't get a permanent apprentice unless all three mages-in training survive to graduate. Not that a few mediocre potions every couple of days is much of a reward...

I think the XP from the graduation is more valuable than the staff. I'd take the apprentices and XP and go to the Twisted Rune to get the Staff of the Magi.Originally posted by UncleScratchy
I don't recall the staff being all that great and you miss the wonderful graduation ceremony as well.
