Lore

The Manticore Scepter was built from the skull and spines of a manticore slain by a southern warlord. He carried it to remind his enemies that no beast was too large for his army.

It serves the Dark Lord who commands with an intimidating presence. It drops from the bosses of the Deep Dungeon and the Swamp of Darkness, and it appears among the miners of Cubera Mine, the warriors of Scorched Canyon and the beasts of Atlans Abyss.

Forging and refining

At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
