I'm playing a mage character and desperately trying to find some nice staff, one of the very cool new weapon types.
After some searching on several forums I found out that in the "magic" chests (a certain type of chest that doesn't have a name above it and requires a lockpick to open) you can find all kinds of staffs. But... you'll need to open 38 of them before finding the first one. After that in every magic chest (in chest 38-50) you open there's a certain type of magic staff.
To put it in perspective, there are only 50 of these magic chests scattered all over the world of Gothic 3 (all three continents; Myrtana, Varant and Nordmar).
I'm now level 44 and haven't been to half of them, in the meantime I can only get a mana staff (+25 mana) and a staff of defense (+15 armor against non-magic damage), which can already be bought in the area around Ardea, Cap Dun, Reddock.
So I decided to cheat around a little and used the mastercheat "idfka" to give me all the weapons and items available. I was stunned. The game contains a lot of great weapons, which I've never seen. Tons of swords, staffs, axes and only because the merchants inventory is random you'll never see 30% of them.
For the magic staffs there are several staffs that resemble a certain level, similar to armor (light, medium, heavy). There's a light firemage staff, medium, heavy (not the correct names, just meant to give you an idea). Same goes for dark mage and water mage.
The two staffs mentioned above also have stronger brothers. The second mana staff offers +50 mana, the third offers mana regeneration. By the time you'll find it you've probably learned that skill already.
I think it's a shame that so many weapons can only be found very late in the game or not at all. Why don't the firemages for example sell those fire staffs? The water mages those water staffs, etc.
