Making the ultimate staffs

[Riddler]

When making the ultimate staffs, do you need to build all of the regular ones first, before one can be upgraded? So could I build the fire staff and then upgrade it, without building any others?

Yes.

You do not need to build all the staves before upgrading any individual staff.

 

In fact for the lightning staff, and only the lightning staff I believe, you can begin the upgrade process before even building the staff if you know what position the dials around the map must point.
