Notes

This wand outstrips all other wands, thanks to its two shots, massive rate of fire, and pretty decent damage/shot. Only at very high DEF does this wand get beat by other ranged wands. This wand doesn’t pierce, but its spray of shots and superb rate of fire still make it a somewhat viable choice for clearing hordes of monsters.

The catch is that its shots move at an incredibly slow speed - nearly a quarter of a tiered wand’s projectile speed. The helical firing pattern and short (normal) true range can make landing shots very difficult, especially when the user and/or the target are moving. If players are able to consistently hit, the Lumiaire becomes a clear-cut winner over all other damage options due to its insane DPS.

History
Before Exalt Version 3.3.5.0 (Mar 2023), this item dealt 90-110 damage per shot (average 100).

This wand used to have two firing patterns, each of which were useful against different enemies. To swap firing patterns, one needed to fire an odd number of shots (like from a tiered wand), then swap back to the Lumiaire. This makes the shot pattern converge at around 3.5 and 9 tiles instead of the middle of the range. To switch back, simply swap off of Lumiaire, fire an odd number of shots again, and swap back.

April Fools Version
For April Fools 2022, this item was temporarily renamed to “Luminaire”, with the description “A complete lighting unit!”
