I've spent soo much time proffing up wands to get cc+4, but they always break, either 1~2 before I'm finished, or bashed down after I'm done.
So since my last one got kinda killed before I was finished, I started a new one, but I just lost 1 dura to Castanea because I was proffing all day at Filia and didn't have enough money to repair at many other places.
I would repair at Berched, but he charges an arm and a leg and I don't really want to spend the extra money.
And because I'm a huge dura freak, having 9/9 dura on a wand annoys me to no end. My current wand is already at 4/5 upgrades and 20 prof, but since it has lower dura I'm hating the thought of finishing it.
I can't find a cc+4 anywhere for sale, and I need one for ballooning, since a regular fire wand is so inefficient when it comes to the wyverns.
So should I finish it and leave it at 9 dura, or get a new one? I could repair at Berched, but.. argghh.. that pedophile Einstein head charges too much. I know the discount from the G9 title and stuff, but it's not much, and I'm not done G9, and probably won't be for another few weeks.
And also, I could get a diamond from the hot springs monkeys and scrape up enough jewels from the bots to get a jewel upgrade +dura for it, but I was actually planning to get the -4.00 mana consumption instead.
It's pretty stupid to get a new wand because of one dura, but looking at the 9 makes my head hurt.
And if anyone's selling a cc+4 fire wand or is willing to prof in exchange for gold, note me~

It all depends on if money is a problem, or if your perfectionism will eventually kill you. I suggest you just use the current wand though.

Money's not really a problem, except I spend it mostly on outfits and dyes instead of actual combat stuff. I've got so many wands to prof now though :T. Still need to get my ice wand to 100 prof for jewel upgrade.

Equip the [Shadow Hero] title for discounts on wand repairs, I heard.

Yeah he is :\ You know the things he says? Creepy old man smiling at me with wild Einstein hair.
And I did mention it above; I'm not done G9 yet.

If you use mp10s and tuck your wand away before firing, dur becomes irrelevant. I haven't repaired my cc fire wand in months. 9 dur would last you forever if you don't use it to melee.
Try your best to overcome OCD tendencies. They only hurt you.

I only use cc while ballooning, so I can't really tuck it away. It's all charge->fire->charge->fire repeat :no!:

Yeah this. Just put it away and save dur. And if your ranking synthesis than you can always make those mana preservation stone things.

Just press tab to switch weapons
charge > switch > fire > switch > pot > charge
Main annoyance is you don't get the wand's increased range, but neither do you pay for repairs.

You use the CC wand to load fire and then you switch weapons so that you go barehand/weapon and still have the 5 firebolts.
Then you use firebolt without losing any durability.
If you use MP10s/30s with Rank 1 Firebolt you already go down to 0 Mana so switching weapons is no issue.

hmmmm.. i have firebolt 5 so... if i charge four at a time, it will be 5x4=20, so do you have the wand out until your mana pool reaches 0, and then do the switcharoo?? or do you just let all your initial mana go to waste in order to save dura??

Mine always lives to see 8+ dura by the final upgrade.
Don't use for the wand fighting. Just heal prof at Iria on your pets at the mana tunnel, age 17+ character, on prof bonus day only.
Repair 95% or more all the time, holy water, one point at a time to reapply water if failed.
Takes about 5+ hours, 400~600k gold and causes arthritis. Good luck.
My zalch has 3 fire wands +4cc. Its way op.
