Staff parts

[Hotcake Tiny]

Has anyone found any staff parts other than the ones presented by the quest and the terminal thing?

Wondering just how much variability will come with this staff. If it's just these parts then it's the least variable multi tool

Answered my own question, different camps terminals have different staff options.

From what I've found myself and seen posted on NMSR, in addition to the three craftable parts there's 5 "sets" of staff parts that you can mix and match with. The terminals seem to always sell 6 pieces: 2 heads, 2 cores, and 2 backbones. In total there are 7 heads (one set has two options), 6 cores, and 6 backbones. Here are the sets:

• Voltaic (This is the craftable set. They cost extra when purchased with motes, and also don't stack. They also say "Voltaic Component" instead of "Autophage Staff ___" in their tooltips)
  
• Radiant
  
• Runic
  
• Havoc
  
• Salvaged
  
• Reclaimed (This one has two head parts, "Claw" and "Head". Also, for whatever reason the backbone is named "Recycled Pole" rather than "Reclaimed Pole", but it's definitely part of the same set because the pattern matches the reclaimed core piece.)

In total, there are 252 (7 * 6 * 6) staff combinations, and that's before considering color and class variations.

In terms of staff class it seems more depending on the terminal than the combination. The same C class combo is an A or an S elsewhere.

From what I've tested it's based on the terminal and the head piece you use, which also seems to be what decides the color scheme. Essentially there's 7 "base" staves per terminal, one for each head part.

They also sometimes come with upgrades for the weapon component when you make the staff. Unsure at this point whether these compete with the normal upgrade modules or not.

I think that's also true of other multi tool sources as well, so that may or may not be affected much by staff specific stuff.

The new exosuit components stack :). So someone checking will be the only way to be sure.

I swear, buying some parts also unlocks more.

Where can you customize your staff once you have acquired these extras?

Note that colors and class variants are decided by the terminal you craft at. The same part can make a staff of different color and class at a different terminal.

You cannot, you can only craft a new one at the autophage's station. The terminal you craft at determines what combination is of what class/color.

Arf .... that's a pity. None of the items you buy at the camp are cosmetics for the staff?

Yes and no, they are part of a new staff. Since it's still a multi-tool, you can't really customise it, so you need to craft a new one. Get new part, make a combination, then go from terminal to terminal until you find a color/class that you like.

Oki thanks for the clarification.
It does look like you can improve the class at the space station in a similar way as for the other multitools.
