Preliminary Enchantress Guide

[LavCat]

You don't need Warmth on the staff, because +skills don't affect synergies.  Plus the recipe for socketing white (normal quality) items is Ral+Amn+Perfect Amethyst.

LavCat, I believe Ormus only sells magic staves, but I'll look into it.  Does anyone know if you could avoid getting all magic items by using a rushed mule character?

I'm actually replying to a few people here, but yes, Ormus will gladly sell gray staves to a character that is low enough.

My assassin would take offense at being called a rushed mule character, however! Even if she did not choose to face duriel herself, she has been progressing (slowly) though act 3 on her own, untwinked and unenchanted. Since she is at a level low enough she has been buying gifts and sending them back home. I must say a rogue at level 9 is not much help in jungles though.

But no, so far no level 30 skills from Ormus. I suspect it is correct that by the time level skills appear the staves will be all magic. Still, I thought it was better to test than to wonder and speculate.
