Yes sure, no gloves. The curly style must be the medium quality staff. Crafting with what is still called the Magician Talus Staff plan produces a straight staff, called Magicians Amplifier, the curly staff is also called Magicians Amplifier. Its the curly style one you start with tho if you choose a mage pack, and its also curly if you buy from Melee Weapon Merchant.
This brings up a bug however, when doing a mission to craft Talus Staffs, as the Magicians Amplifier is not recognised as being a Talus Staff and so is not accepted for the mission.

There seem to be almost zero changes compared to the beta. New chars now have a shield, too (which, in best nevrax tradition, is "unnamed...something"), mages still use staffs. No sign of the close combat melee tree either. Still the old q25, q50,... harvesting skills.

The only change I saw is the shield and that mage staffs have now a "master hand to hand" skill description.

The artwork for the game box is very good and the manual describes what you need to see so I will say its a very well presented box with clear instructions.

We hope that everyone of you enjoy the game and have fun.

Close Combat tree comes in at lvl 51, as it did in beta.

Also noticed, some new titles. No more "novice harvester", the title is now "forager apprentice".

Officially the staffs have been.
Or was there some kinda sarcasm in your post?
There is Much more quests working for now, meat can be gathered in many and all staffs become Magic amplificators only problem is that quests related to old magic staffs was not working. Other thing is that winter finished and all is bluming, flowers all around and all is full of green SPRING !! you can check my opter post for link so some screenshots..

The character creation you saw in the trailers was from Beta 2, the one in open beta is the current version.
