Notes

Eternity stack VFX

• The Eternity passive will trigger with effects like  Seraph's Embrace's active and  Muramana's passive.
• If the owner is protected with a shield and receives damage, they will continue to restore mana.
• The additional stats over time are not unique. One can have multiple Rod of Ages while all of their stats simultaneously increase.

Map-Specific Differences

One for All differences ^edit

• Uses the Quick Charge version.

Strategy

• Because this item takes 10 minutes to reach its full potential, it is best obtained early on in the game. 
• It is a strong item for casters in need of durability, mana, and power.
• Rod of Ages can be very effectively combined with an Archangel's Staff because the Awe passive will grant 9 bonus ability power from Rod of Ages' mana.
  • The early Tear of the Goddess and Catalyst of Aeons are useful in lane for the healing sustain and increased mana pool. The only downside to this build is that Archangel's Staff / Tear of the Goddess and Rod of Ages take considerable time to stack.

Trivia

• Rod of Ages may have been originally named as "Guinsoo's Rod of Oblivion", and its icon is still named as such in the League of Legends install directory.
• Karthus Lightsbane uses the Rod of Ages.
• The name is likely a reference to Def Leppard's 1983 song "Rock of Ages". (The movie of the same name, which is also named after the song, was not released until 3 years after the item came out.)
• The Quick Charge version is also used on the Crystal Scar during Rotating Game Modes.
