In reply to Lupine Vedetian (msg # 353):
Look if we remove one of the staves of striking the cost difference isn't so bad that I wouldn't let it all fly all we do is add the days to make the spells I drain the remainder of materials to cover the time and we are good it will not have a striking rune is all. It would be a +1 staff of evocation
I think I'm the lowest priority to take a striking rune, because Lupine is the least likely to attack with his staff. That said, if the rune is only applicable to the staff I'll run with it.
Also to note, Lupine is a Staff Nexus wizard, so his crafted staff has a few extra goodies.
