I have some questions about how to acquire sleek wands. You can consider me a complete newbie when answering.I've been helped by some
characters in game but there are still many things I don't get a grasp of.

- Do I have to kill possible carriers in order to discover one?
(I believe this is so.Just wanted to make sure)

- Could they be carried by any mage or can I rule out some? Like guildguards,shopkeepers,generic mages (like the ones in tower or azuremain)

- Can I discover any wands if I look around hard or do I have to attain a certain rank for being able to discovering some(levels 37,42,47 as the helpfiles suggest)

-Can I find more than one source for a single wand ?

- Are the wands carried by the mobs with respect to their levels (e.g. No barrier wand from the mages in aldevari or copeham inn)

- Can they be in explore areas or just the regular areas?

- How does the detect artifact spell work? (I am yet to learn it though)

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated..
