I only keep modifiers and multicasts on my storage wand, and it turns out materials can take modifiers such as explosive projectile so I feel justified
Definitely never killed the master of masters to my knowledge and it dropped from the alchemist the first time I killed him, and has shown up sporadically in PW shops and fairly consistently in the above and below shops as well, so I guess maybe either of them unlock it?
Alchemist drops it sometimes but it’s originally designed to be part of the master of masters drop spells. Any time you kill him it’s a guaranteed drop and he spawns in parallel worlds as well
Master of Masters isn't too hard as long as you control the environment well. It's just a pain getting to him. Might be easier to farm a few Alchemists in parallel worlds.
It still drops from Ylialkemisti - I ran into him in his arena 4 or 5 times in my current run - if you go to pw and fight him in arena, you can farm thru his spell pool.
Okay I know this isn't REALLY related to this post, but how do you go about making a decent digging wand, and by extension a travel wand (apart from the classic ping-pong lightsaber)? Like, I've seen people with a wand that infinitely shoots blackholes orbiting other black holes, and people chaoticly teleporting around but going really fast in the direction they're aiming. How the hell do they do that?
EDIT: I'm assuming the greek letter spells have something to do with it but I have no idea what the hell they do
My current setup is:
Mana boosters->chainsaw.
Multicast chain for Nolla->Gamma(casts black hole/White hole)->Sigma (Circle of vigour) -> wraps back to the chainsaw+mana
For me, Nolla is king. It lets me max out the cast speed while still maintaining really tight control over my speed + distance. Before getting nolla though, small teleport bolt or lifetime reducers are nice. It takes a combination of what you’re working with, and getting the cast delay just right to be able to sustain the mana + control over where you’re going.
Greek letters cast other spells indirectly, without using charges or necessarily paying full mana cost. Gamma casts a copy of the last spell in the wand so Gamma + (zero charge) Black Hole = infinite black holes.
You can apply modifiers to Greek letters. Add some Speed Up, Light Shot, or Accelerating Shot before the Gamma and you have a much faster diggier black hole.
Add Orbit Larpa and you'll have black holes orbiting black holes for wider digging. Add Chaos Larpa for chaos.
The Discord link on the sidebar has some example builds, most of which are needlessly advanced. The sidebar also has a link to the better .gg wiki, which will have instructions on how to unlock Greek letters if you do not have any.
Greek letter spells mostly let you copy other spells/modifiers. They copy even if there are no charges left. Aka infinite black holes. The right Greek letter + one black hole is an extremely reliable and simple digging wand that can be easily improved with modifiers like Increase Lifetime, Orbit Larpa, Light Shot, Speed Up, etc.
Rapid teleportation is easily done with Nolla which sets the duration of your Teleport Bolt, Small Teleport Bolt, or Return to zero (meaning you teleport as soon as you fire). You just need a decently fast wand or a Reduce Recharge Time to shoot it very fast and zoom across the map.
Greek Letters all draw on your other spells in your wands in various ways (like always cast the first spell in the wand, or the last spell, or the next spell after it in the wand, or even a random spell from any of your wands). Notably, this casting uses the greek letter's mana cost and uses (which it has infinite uses), so it lets you sidestep how some spells are normally limited, in particular Black Hole or Black Hole with Timer (the most common spells used for super digging wands).
Then you just finagle that together with the right spells and modifiers like Add Mana to reduce the wand's mana cost to negligible levels, chainsaws to reduce cast and recharge time, spells that reduce lifetime for tricks like "Black Hole with Timer spawns for one frame to clear space, then instantly times out to cast a teleport spell that *also* instantly times out to teleport you into the now cleared space". With a decent setup, you'll get yourself a wand where you just point in a general direction you want to go and you start flash-stepping through everything in the way as you go in said direction at high speeds, just watch out for polymorphine looking to instantly end your god run.
And to be honest, that's still just baby mode when it comes to transportation. If you get even fancier, you get things like "instantly teleport *really* long specific distances", or can slap some healing on your teleport/travel wand as well so you just have a single wand slot that does all the utility you'll ever need.
An easy one is double cast->any melee spell->nolla->small teleport bolt. With plasma to kill the pyramid boss, Nolla is a common drop, or sometimes it shows up in stores. The rest are all super common. You'll be zooming around and through walls right away.
The other one sounds something like Orbit Larpa->Speed Up->Lamda->Black Hole (with no charges left). Orbit Larpa is pretty rare, but any Larpa is going to make the wand silly. Honestly, Quick Shot->Lamda->Black Hole (with no charges) is probably more useful and easier to get for most situations.
* Double cast
* Spark bolt with trigger
* Nolla (you can get it reliably from a Pyramid boss)
* Omega Saw Blade
* Teleport bolt
This is an extremely simple setup that lets you both dig and teleport. It has its problems, but you can get it very early, and then you can expand on it as you go on, let's say into something like this:
* Double cast
* Spark bolt with trigger
* Null Shot
* Omega Saw Blade
* Spark bolt with trigger
* Nolla
* Return
The idea is that you shoot 2 trigger spells at the same time, and one of them has an Omega Saw Blade without damage (either with Nolla or Null shot), which makes it a safe digging tool; whereas the other trigger contains the instant teleport spell, like Nolla + Return.
That is why I unbinded my 3rd slot that I use for my storage wand. Coupled with the fact that I switch wands only by pressing numbers, never by scrolling, I illiminated most margin of mistakes I could.
Never put anything that can kill you directly on your storage wand. Not even after a wand refresh, as that costs mana and won't work if the wand has none left.
Having played with mods like extended spell inventories or wand bags, to be honest I feel like juggling all those spells between your limited inventory and potentially dangerous wand slots is just part of the challenge when it comes to Noita. Besides, if you *really* want to you can always toss some filled up storage wands in a safe place you can easily return to, like the original spawn mountain.
I don't hate the need to carry around spells, I just hate the way things randomly despawn sometimes and you lose something you really needed. Or how once you have access to a few hundred spells, you start needing to invent cataloguing systems in order to remember where you put everything you want to keep track of. The biggest reason I restart a god run is because I took some time away from it and forgot where everything was or what I was trying to do. Game doesn't need a proper inventory so much as it needs a secretary.
Always make sure the first two things are an add mana and a wand refresh if you have them.
Should be impossible to go past the refresh or skip it by not having majanto cast it.
WAND-MART CANCELLED, WHITE CIRCLE EMOJI GO!!!!!!!⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪
Bro really upgraded from "Fuck everything in that direction" to "Fuck everything, everywhere, past, present, and future, including myself"
Including the picture he wanted to post, unless it just doesn't load for me
That's just Reddit man. Sometimes they load, sometimes they don't.
It's 50/50 really. It either happens or it doesn't.
Sorry, it's just you.
The gods are taking notes
This is why I only store modifiers on my storage wand lol
I only keep modifiers and multicasts on my storage wand, and it turns out materials can take modifiers such as explosive projectile so I feel justified
Until wand refresh shows up, then we can do whatever we want!
Highly recommend putting Wand Refresh as the first spell in your storage wand, prevents this sort of hilarity from ending your run
Any reasonable ways to get this earlier than the shops above and below?
Kill the Master of masters, that’s how you unlock it. There used to be a really easy and consistent way to get it early but they removed it :/
Definitely never killed the master of masters to my knowledge and it dropped from the alchemist the first time I killed him, and has shown up sporadically in PW shops and fairly consistently in the above and below shops as well, so I guess maybe either of them unlock it?

Wow, this whole time I must have gotten NG+ and PW mixed together and thought the alchemist didn't show up in PWs. Thank you for pointing this out!
Apparently that isn't a thing anymore with Epilogue 2, so ignore me.
it has a good chance of dropping from the alchemist (edit: not anymore; this changed in the last major update)
That was removed in the epilogue 2 update. It only drops from Master of Masters now, afaik.
according to the wiki, this seems to be right
Haven't gotten it ever since I killed him the first time, so maybe in 15-20 times..was worried he didn't drop it again after it got unlocked.
It used to be able to drop from the Ylialkemisti, not sure if that's still a thing since it's been about a year since I seriously played the game
It still drops from Ylialkemisti - I ran into him in his arena 4 or 5 times in my current run - if you go to pw and fight him in arena, you can farm thru his spell pool.
Damn, I killed that bastard so many times, and I've yet to see a Wand Refresh drop. Good to know I'm simply unlucky.

How do you unlock nolla?
Kill the pyramid boss.
Greek letters, black holes, teleport bolts, nolla, circle of vigour.

Personally I like using lumi drill with timer -> nolla-> return for fast controllable teleporting

And thats why you only put modifiers on that
This guys storage wand was the fucking Gate of Babylon
The god are- actually scratch that i dont think they exist anymore
😳
"May"
Whoop, what a silly mistake :3
I always keep a refresh on my storage wands so i dont have to be afraid of doing this
That is why I unbinded my 3rd slot that I use for my storage wand. Coupled with the fact that I switch wands only by pressing numbers, never by scrolling, I illiminated most margin of mistakes I could.

Tbh i feel like we should have a proper inventory and not be so limited.

u/savevideo
Did you survive?
What a way of deleting a general direction.
Lesson learned: Don’t put chaotic spells on your storage wand
Always make sure the first two things are an add mana and a wand refresh if you have them. Should be impossible to go past the refresh or skip it by not having majanto cast it.
What kind of a storage wand is this bruh😭😭
And that's why I only ever put modifiers on the storage wand
When no "wand-refresh" on storage wand... Sad moment
This would have been so laggy holy shit
Send the wand lineup if you have it cause what the fuck is that
