The best Elden Ring Glintstone staffs

For the best early game staff in Elden Ring, we highly recommend taking a detour into the harsh swamps of Caelid to pick up the Meteorite staff. It starts with a higher power level than other staffs you can find in the first few hours, but you can’t upgrade it.

If you want the Elden Ring staff that does the most damage, your best bet is Lusat’s Glintstone staff. The downside to this staff is that you use up an increased amount of FP every time you cast a spell, but this staff also amplifies the power of all sorceries you cast. So make sure you have a massive FP bar and plenty of Cerulean flasks to hand. We recommend those opting for this staff also pick up as many Elden Ring golden seeds as they can.

An alternative pick for the best Elden Ring staff is Azur’s Glintstone staff. This staff also increases the FP cost of your spells, but it also reduces the casting time of all sorceries. So if you rely on magic that takes a long time to charge up, this is the staff for you.

To get the Azur’s Glintstone staff you need to do the following:

Beyond these recommendations, though, the most helpful staffs are the ones that boost spells of a specific type. As a couple of examples, the Gelmir Glintstone staff buffs any lava sorceries, while the Prince of Death’s staff increases death-type spells’ damage.

Those are all of the Elden Ring staff locations. To upgrade your staff of choice, you will need to seek out the Elden Ring smithing stone locations and take them to the blacksmith in Roundtable Hold. These are handy for fully kitting out the best Elden Ring builds, but don’t forget to put on the best Elden Ring armor to protect yourself from exceptionally hard-hitting foes, as your magic-user is likely a glass cannon.
