To save up for the Needlessly large rod, you have to stay in lane for a very long time. Learn how to sustain yourself in lane without having to back even once, though be mindful of your opponent (Don't let them leave and come back unless you hard counter them or you're completely full health/mana). Be sure to hit a lot of cs as often as you can. Farm wraiths when you're strong enough it won't set you back. Farm enemy wraiths if you grabbed a ward (This one is ballsy so you don't really have to do it). If you play your cards right, you can just sit in lane and not leave until you have 1600+ gold. Then go back, grab your rod and heal up. Quickly come back to lane and you'll probably have more AP than them if they aren't simply outfarming you. Take advantage of that if you can~
