I'm still trying to see the "shameless exploit" in this. A clvl 1 char is not going to raise 1100 gps very fast, and you can buy some plain staffs for less than that. So you are depending on a higher level char for the gold (and finding that chipped diamond), in which case buying a staff is trivial (any higher level that cannot afford a plain staff probably cannot obtain chipped diamonds either). While finding the chipped diamond, you'll probably find the remaining materials too.
A clvl one can produce the uber cruel swords when given the right stuff, this is not that much different. If you could immediately equip that savage halberd, then.....
As an aside, I've always wondered why items had lvl requirements, most players are counting on playing into the 60s, which is above the majority of the lvl requirements. I always thought if one could figure out a way to use an uber item and still manage to live long enough to benefit from it, that you deserved it. I suppose it is another feature that the mindless hordes demanded.
