📋 About This Mod
Description
What was once lost has been found again.
Hello and welcome to my very first mod for BG3! I love staves and all things magical and thought it would be fun to add some shiny new staves to wack enemies with into the game. Here I have 11 new staves with each their own spells and passives to match their namesake.
The chest that holds all the staves is Ao's Bygone Vault with each stave seeming to almost have a life force of their own. Raw power just waiting to be channeled once again.
I had fun creating these staves. There's 2 versions of each stave to pick from. An OP version and a not so OP version. I just feel like if a stave is supposed to be a borderline lost artifact from Ao, it should be OP. But I understand 100% if anyone feels even the not so OP version is still too OP. There's always transmog so you can still apply the appearance to any weapon of your choice. I normally use the armory and can confirm that the staves appear just fine in there.
I'm trying to be more universal in how I name my mods so if you're updating the mod, please completely delete the mod before downloading and importing the updated mod into the mod manager. Simply dragging and dropping the new mod won't automatically update your current one.
You can acquire Ao's Bygone Vault in these locations:
-
[]The tutorial chest [/]
[]Arron(Act I, Emerald Grove)[/]
[]Dammon(Act I Emerald Grove, Act II Last Light Inn, Act III Forge of the Nine)[/]
[]Omeluum(Act I, Underdark - Ebonlake Grotto)[/]
[]Talli(Act II, Last Light Inn)[/]
[]Entharl Danthelon(Act III, Wyrm's Crossing)[/]
[]Rolan(Act III, Sorcerous Sundries)[/]
[]Fytz(Act III, Stormshore Armoury)
I adore screenshots. Please post any on here to your heart's content.
To install, extract the .pak file from the zip file you downloaded and drag the .pak file into the BG3 mod manager.
Coming soon: 1 more staff added to the vault.
