I have a +3 want of lightning and an unupgraded staff, and according to the wiki, I should end up with a +2 staff, but it says I'll only get a level 1 staff. Why? I tried this on a different run, and it actually gave me an unupgraded staff, it's not just the prompt being wrong. I'm playing the latest version of Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

Scroll of upgrade should work too, no?

The plan was always to dump almost all of my SoU into the staff, the hope was to get a couple points bonus.

You can find a +1 natural in most runs, use that to upgrade your staff.

Then you get a guarranteed +1 from wandmaker, take that to the troll blacksmith and upgrade it to +2.

Then imbue for a +3 staff and SoU dump to +18.

You need RNG for higher staff. A +3 wand from wandmaker is 5% chance and you can use that with a natural wand of the same type to get a +20 staff. If you find two of the same type you get a +21 staff but that's pretty rare.

Random number generation

In ShPD, it means the chances of a weapon or item being dropped, things being upgraded, or how the levels are generated
