Staves with Charges?

Post by Shados_Draconio »

ok, I know this seems cheap, but I'm looking for a code to make a staff WITH charges. All the ones I have are charge-less and I'd REALLY like another one.
So, I am wondering if anyone knows a code, or knows where I might be able to find one, where I can make a staff, wand, or rod, and give them charges. Or even if I CAN charge a staff. so, please, if you know, help me out?

ps. I've already beaten the game twice. this is just playing around for fun now.

Won't it work if you simply sell the staff and buy it back again? Have you checked the tools of TeamBG?

Shados, welcome to the forums. Astafas is suggesting you make your own staff mod, using coding tools created by a group called TeamBG. As TeamBG has closed up shop, though, does anyone know where those tools are currently located?

Don't you mean rod? As I recall, the charged staves in BG2 were limited by number of uses per day, not number of permanant charges. Though I could be wrong. As for the rods: as long as you have one charge left, you can sell them to merchants, then buy them back, fully charged. One cheesy exploit in the game is to have your party thief consume a couple of potions of master thievery, then steal back these rods. Personally, I don't do this, but some people... :rolleyes:

In any case, I hope that helps.

More Info

Ok, some items are once/twice/thrice per day, and some have limited charges... The staffs of monster summoning, fireball, lightning, ice storm, cloudkill, and magic missile are all limited in charges.

I don't know about modding, but you can use something called the CluaConsole to create the existing staves with however many charges you want... I think the limit is something like 65 thousand... 2^16 - 1 actually.

Check the BG2 Reference Crossroads for the list of Clua Console commands...

I second Fable, though. Some of the staves, like the monster summoning one, are ridiculously overpowered. You can keep sending in summons forever, and win every battle. Fun for a little while, but eventually boring...

I was wondering the same thing - I remember picking up the staves of air and fire in the game, but when I went to use them, they were gone - I figure I must have dropped them at some point when I was given an item. So, I just CLUAd new ones in, but I couldn't use any of their powers, because they had no charges.

Specific Syntax

Whoops, sorry Fable...
Looks like it's wands, not staves, after all...
Anyway, try this:
CLUAConsole:CreateItem("wand10",65000,1,1)
