New rods for the Demi Store

[KnightErrant]

I would like to propose the idea that Mr. Moriarty (sp?) be able to start stocking:

Rod of Wellness: Cure Disease level 45 CL
Rod of Healing: Heal level 45 CL
Rod of Honing: Keen any weapon level 45 CL

For those runs where we can't get druids/clerics/bards to come play.

Also maybe a Rod of Iron Grasp ? or is that too specialized ?

I'd also second the idea of a Keen rod that works on all weapon types. There is the rona practice sai, but that's only 1/day and requires exotic proficiency so it's rather limited. Also there is teldar's toolbelt but that is bound to a single character and 2/day. RD was available from UR ranger armor, abyss set helm, and any item with a supernatural RD augment, which was quite common. Keen is much less available.

Also a +15 GMW rod would be nice since that's fairly available now to casters but would ease some formation issues. It's kind of comical but I've been in several parties lately without gmw. Even when there are casters the ability of bgs/bks/paladins/staffmasters/etc to buff their own weapons with enhancement is a huge bonus to those classes as they can buff far more weapons than casters are normally willing to buff.

Um.. would it be beneficial to suggest instead feats that let you create rods/potions with higher casting levels?

For example, craft a potion of Keen Weapon, normally casts at lvl3, but cast at 10, 18, 30, 45 with SF, GSF, ESF, LSF. If brewer has ESF then potion is able to keen any weapon.

Rods might be more appropriate, since you could have a different rod to purchase for each focus type (only takes spell if you have the focus); but just thinking out loud. Must be easier way around that tho.

GMW is the easy one imo, just farm Toyshop a few times shackled to lvl54... problem solved. I think I have something like 80 GMW gems floating across my melee toons atm.
