Talk:Staff of Herding

The staff of herding already appears in my blacksmith's list and I only have one of the parts. Does it show up automatically or did I get the recipe and forget? If it does show up when you pick up one of the crafting materials but still requires the plan that should be added to the page. I'm farming the last piece, the damn rare drop gem from that rare spawn creature in a semi rare cave, for me it has been by far the hardest to get. ~Sonzaisuru


 * If it's showing on your list of recipes on Haedrig, my best guess is you gave him the tome necessary. In that case, you should be thankful; that in itself means no more farming Izual just for the plans alone. Granted, he does drop one other thing, but that's not needed for Whimsyshire.

 * Has the bug that prevented the gem from dropping been fixed? If no, you're wasting your time. If yes, the bug notes should be removed from the gem article.

So, after patch 2.0, there can only be one Staff of Herding, and once you craft that staff, assuming you plan on keeping it forever in one's stash, all the ingredients essentially become worthless ...right? - they're account bound, they serve no other purpose, and having a second staff is useless ...am I missing something?
