Talk:Staff of Wucad Mu

I found an "ephemeral staff" at the Bazaar for a decent price. It's the Staff of Wucad Mu, which is quite difficult to evaluate. A very rarely appearing item, high risk of miscast effects and no reliable use. - Why is the "unidentified name" not part of the crawl wiki text? Is it a random and not a fixed name? -- Bwijn 19:29, 23 February 2013 (CET)

Are you playing an old version? I thought that as of 0.11, all unrands would be identified on sight, making the un-ID'd description irrelevant. Anyway, the un-ID'd descriptions are actually in pretty much all of the unrand articles, but these four staves already had articles written a while ago which don't mention the descriptions. If the un-ID'd description was found in 0.11 feel free to add it. -Ion frigate 22:20, 23 February 2013 (CET)

Oh, and if you're a caster it's worth buying. -Ion frigate 22:21, 23 February 2013 (CET)

No, you're right, I prefered a 10.3 game. The graphics and the odds IMHO are better. - Shouldn't we add a history chapter for obsoleted details like that? Even the online servers don't offer solely 0.11 version games. -- Bwijn 00:31, 24 February 2013 (CET)

Sure. Ideally, we should actually write history sections like that for all the unrand articles (currently, it gives the un-ID'd appearance in the main description). One thing I'm not sure, though, is whether or not that appearance might still appear when you examine the artefact in 0.11+ - it might. -Ion frigate 00:46, 24 February 2013 (CET)
