I have a PGT now, along with a dirk. I'm level 25, and I've had it for ...
umm... 6? levels.. (can't remember exactly when I got it). While its true
at higher levels the PGT becomes more of a hindrance than a help, at this
point for me, its still a help. I'll be upgrading it at some point, but its
not a priority for me right now. Lambent armor is :)

Can anyone tell me what the worth of a Staff of Writhing on Povar is? I'd
love to upgrade to that, if I get the chance.
