weyc item upgrade question

[s002wjh]

for the weyc wand i need upgrade with int aff, but i'm using xoti, not sure what ability i can use to upgrade it.

as for robes of weyc upgrade,  do i just use empower  5 time to upgrade it?

for the wand, without any other source, i think the expectation is that the very weak on-hit chance to confuse the enemy is your source for intellect afflictions. really lame, i know. there's also a poison you can make that confuses the enemy, but i'm honestly scratching my head for a good alternate source if you're not wael, a wizard, a cipher, a chanter, or even a druid facing beasts

 

for robe of weyc upgrade, you have to actuially empower an ability. you can't self-empower. but other than that, it's pretty straightforward.

You should try attacking your teammates outside combat. Just target tank(without INT res/immu) and leave it for few minutes. I never tested it but maybe it will work.

Maybe you can dual-wield with the Whale of a Wand and cause some Charms while casting? Did not test this so don't be mad at me if it doesn't work.

i just test this, and it work, thought its only 2 charge, so i have to rest every time i charm someone

Hm, you could also try to enchant Lethandria's Devotion with Captivating Crystal (can cause Confusion if you receive a crit). Or use Fool's Shoes if you meet enemies that want to confuse, charm or dominate you (if they are not immune). Squid's Grasp has an escape ability that casts an AoE confuse on activation. That might help to unlock the Weyc's Wand more quickly.

Would the trinket from the Beast of Winter's Engwithan dream-realm that gives you a 1/rest AoE enemy charm work? It might be a way to get lots of hits per fight/rest.

Edit: the name is Betrayal, looks like the hilt half of a broken dagger.
