Ones that hold 90 mana. At least 30 of them.

I know there's shops that have them but they don't carry that many they always changed from thick to short etc. I'd like them all the same.

To get 10 wand/rods that are the same type I'd need to forage about 70-80 sticks, then you have to account for only some of them becoming rods and some becoming wands which means even more sticks need to be foraged. I'm not pitching for this service since my ranger mostly creates wands but you should know exactly what a pain it is to do what you are asking. On top of all of that for them to hold 90 mana you need a ton of summoning lore so you're basically looking for a capped ranger who wants to spend hours foraging for sticks so you can get only 1 type, be prepared to pay accordingly.

Yup. I don't expect them All to be the same, just not all of them different would be nice. The 90 mana thing is most important, whatever the embeddable. Or close to it at least. I really don't want to pay for 40-50 mana. I know somebody always has a stockpile they've been creating. I'll lift it off their hands.

There hasn't been a ranger who has offered reliable high-end embeddable in mass quantities for a while. Not quite sure why, as it is a very lucrative business, despite the hassle.

I sell wands in my shop for 1k apiece, I don't do it for the money though, I do it to help people out. At 1k per it's not worth the effort as a money making service.

I've been picking up handfuls of them here and there in shops. I've found enough to satisfy my needs just between WL and FWI. Those same shops don't tend to stay constantly in supply though so it looks like the bottom of the barrel until they re-up. I'll be going to other towns soon but it sucks checking out all those rod selling shops' signs to see how much mana they hold, and if they don't say then buying a sample and testing it.

And yeah I could use wands or amulets all the same I suppose, though I was told rods hold the most mana. Was I told wrong?

Looks like Charwiz has a shop full of 92-mana wands, located in the Landing: http://pshops.lichproject.org/shops/20321

(Did a search for "mana" on shop signs, and came up with a good list of things.)

Rods hold 80 base, wands hold 40. With my summoning lore training I get up to 7 extra mana per rod or wand so the ones I make hold 40-47 or on the rare occasion I make a rod 80-87

Yeah that's the shop I used to get most of my rods from but I bought it out... I thought. I've done it a few times actually and haven't seen any there in a little while. Thanks. Also for the search tip.

I've made a lot of wands and rods for people, but to look for only rods gets to be to tetious for me.

I have a shop on FWI that will probably start stocking with wands/rods, but I will not guarantee what they hold

BTW, I would snatch up all those rods in Charwiz's shop for 1.5k.....that is a steal imo for those.

The making of the rods really isn't that hard. It's the foraging that's a pain in the ass. If you brought me a sack full of sticks and maybe someone to send spirit mana, I could make you a ton of 93 capacity rods in just a few minutes.

EDIT: If you provided the sticks, I'd make em into rods for 1k per. I'd charge per stick, though, not per rod, but I have about an 85-90% rod rate.

LOL, I was basically going to say in my first post "You are looking for Droit", but I decided to make it slightly longer. I sell wands for 1k in my shop in Icemule, but that includes the foraging of sticks which is the most annoying part.

Max mana a rod holds is 80, wand 40....not base.

The amount of mana the new magical item will hold is dependent upon a dedication to the Ranger Spell Circle, the Mana Control, Spiritual skill, and the Discipline and Intuition stat bonuses.

Couldn't you just go get sticks from the kobold mine? Or even steal sticks from by the fireplace in thraks? ha.. Wait, that's cheating I doubt GS would allow you to do something that took an hour out of your day.

I suppose I could start doing these. My rods hold 92/93 mana. My shop is on Teras, tho. LOL!

I was able to acquire all I need. Many thanks. I got 50 in four flavors. Not bad.
