With the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, Sorceries and magic have returned in force, and players have discovered that there are a ton of spells and staffs to use. Each staff has something that sets them apart, and each has a different purpose.
Some staffs enhance certain spells, while others have incredible scaling. For example, some staffs can cause bleed damage and scarlet rot effects on enemies. Choosing the right staff in the game can make your quest or combat much easier.
Glintstone Staff
Glintstone Staff is a great starting Prisoner staff, as it only requires regular smithing stones to upgrade this Elden Ring Items, and Intelligence is something you need to focus on.
While the Glintstone Staff doesn’t have any skills or associated buffs, it’s a great all-around choice for players who are just getting started with Prisoner in Elden Ring.
This magic root is used by Prisoner by default, but can also be picked up by Noble Sorcerer enemies in Caria Manor later in the game.
Astrologer’s Staff
Among the first class staffs, Astrologer’s Staff is arguably the best for players who want to build a pure magic build early on. Its Intelligence stat is higher than Glintstone Staff overall, and it improves more with each upgrade.
Glintstone Staff is more suitable for flexible builds, while Astrologer’s Staff is more suitable for full magic builds. If you’ve been looking for a handy staff, you can’t miss Astrologer’s Staff.
It can be used to maximize your efficiency for a large part of your introductory period, and its high Intelligence stat can make you feel accomplished when fighting against early monsters.
Demi-Human Queen’s Staff
This staff will probably be the first major upgrade for most sorcerers in Elden Ring. Demi-Human Queen’s Staff can be obtained by defeating a small boss in Demi-Human Forest Ruins.
However, it is not without its shortcomings. Its expansion is weak, so you can still use Astrologer’s Staff mentioned above in the early game. When your other attributes are a bit higher, you can use it to add a little magic to your build.
Crystal Staff
In Academy Crystal Cave, you can find the staff behind the fake wall in front of the boss’s door. If you still can’t see it, you can try to go a little further to the right room. Although it only provides a 10% increase in Crystalian Sorceries, this increase can often mean a completely different result - life or death?
Unlike Rotten Crystal Staff, the basic Crystal Staff will not cause any accumulation when used as a melee weapon. But it can’t help but look beautiful - the whole body looks like a sapphire. But it is not a beautiful waste at all, and it can make exploration easier for you with eight Strength and a staggering forty-eight Intelligence.
Gelmir Glintstone Staff
Like other aspects of Elden Ring, it allows players to build their own characters specifically to showcase their desired fighting style. Among high-level players, most focus on Faith and Intelligence.
For mages who want to replicate the high-level player path, Gelmir Glintstone Staff will be their most powerful weapon, as it increases the effectiveness of lava-centric spells by 15%.
To get it, you need money to go to Volcano Manor to find Man-Serpent Sorcerer, and you also need to fight it in the throne room. After succeeding, you will find Gelmir Glintstone Staff on the ground.
Staff Of Loss
Many Elden Ring players will consider what is more effective? Is it a powerful attack that the enemy can see and avoid? Or a smaller damage that is unpredictable?
Staff Of Loss can solve your second half of the problem, both casting spells that make the enemy unpredictable and creating a lot of damage. Elden Ring has two specific Invisibility Sorceries, namely Night Shard and Night Comet. So in a sense, Staff Of Loss is closely related to both spells.
Staff Of Loss can be found on a corpse located in Town of Sorcery, Sellia. This staff increases the effectiveness of both spells by 30%, but in the dual-wielding New Game+ build this can be increased to 60%!
Carian Glintstone Staff
In the game, staff wielders are often seen as more passive combatants, as they seem to only be willing to face enemies from a comfortable distance and are unwilling to engage in close combat. But Carian Glintstone Staff completely breaks tradition by adding 15% power to the Carian sword sorceries, allowing you to cast Void Blade on any enemy that stands in your way.
If you know Carian Study Hall’s Liurnia of Lakes, then finding Carian Glintstone Staff is very simple. It is on a corpse in the second elevator.
Carian Regal Scepter
For casual players who don’t want to specialize in a particular type of spell, but just want a staff that can do everything, Carian Regal Scepter is perfect for them. To get it, you need to first give Remembrance of Full Moon Queen to Enia in Roundtable Hold.
After you complete this quest, you need to go to Rennala at the top of Raya Lucaria Academy inside of the library to get this Elden Ring Item.
Carian Regal Scepter relies mainly on Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade, which means its attributes are also unique. So you have to be unique to use it - Intelligence must be 69 or higher.
How many of these staffs have you obtained now? Have you used them to their maximum effect? I hope you have fun playing Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree!
