The Eldon Ring has the most types of magic and prayer compared to other games, with about 70 of them, divided into offensive, auxiliary, and defensive types. And different staffs are good at different styles, so let's take a look at the 3 best staffs for different game styles and game stages.
Pre-game Staff: Meteorite Staff
Requirements: 16 strength, 18 intelligence
Additional Effect: Enhances the magic of gravity
Location: Ruins of sage town
If you come from a mage like a stargazer or prisoner, it is recommended that you use this staff. At first, its intelligence value is not high, but upgrading it once with the Forge Stone will increase your intelligence value from C to B, making your spell damage higher. At +8, the Stargazer's Staff can achieve an A bonus, while at +9, the Prisoner's Staff can achieve an A bonus.
The Meteorite Staff is one of the best early game staffs, as it has an S-level intelligence bonus from the start, which only takes 18 intelligence to use. But it can't be upgraded, meaning its damage drops later in the game. So for the early game, it gives you a high damage output from the start, and saves forged stones to upgrade later staffs.
How do I get the Meteorite Staff?
1. From Nymgfu to the east, through the Galid district, first there will be a corrupt house on the south side of the road, then continue along the road through the ruins of Chilim and the wall of smoke and fire, and then go some distance north
2. Head east and you'll soon reach the marshlands in the center of Gailede. To the northwest of the swamp is the ruins of the Town of the Sages
3. Reach a small building in the ruins, look from the side and you will find a corpse with an item on it, and you can get the meteorite staff by getting this item
Almighty Staff: The Staff of Kalia
Requirements: 8 strength, 10 dexterity, 60 intelligence
Additional Effect: Enhances the magic of the full moon
Venue: Round Table Hall
If you want to be a good mage, you need to put a lot of effort into your intelligence, because intelligence doesn't take up to 60 to use this staff. Obtaining this staff requires defeating the Queen of the Full Moon, one of the five bosses in the game. It can be upgraded to +10 with Forged Stone, and I recommend upgrading it to at least +5 after getting this staff, increasing its intelligence bonus to S level.
This Kalia Scepter provides a passive damage boost to full moon magic, but I actually recommend using it because it has an excellent intellectual bonus, rather than being as costly as some other scepters.
How do I get the Kalia Scepter?
1. Defeat Rena La, Queen of the Full Moon, at Rukaria Academy, and she will give you the memories of the Queen of the Full Moon
2. Exchange memories of the Queen of the Full Moon in the Round Table Hall and receive the Sceptre of Kalia
Maximum Damage Output Staff: Lucert's Pyroxene Staff
Requirements: 10 strength, 52 intelligence
Additional Effect: None
Location: The magic town of Celia
Lucert's Pyrene Staff has a higher damage output than almost any other staff, upgrading to +4 will bring you intelligence up to S level, and if you use the Colorless Forge Stone to upgrade it to +10, it will greatly increase its damage output. But there's a problem, Lucert's pyridon staff also consumes more blue to balance out its higher damage output. So that's why it's not recommended to use this staff early in the game, in addition to reaching the 52 intelligence requirement, you'll also need to increase your concentration to increase the blue bar cap.
This staff is best used to deal a fatal blow to bosses, especially in combination with certain items, such as the Blue Secret Drop in the Elixir Holy Grail Bottle, which allows you to cast a spell for 15 seconds without consuming Blue.
How do I get Lucert's Pyroxen Staff?
1. Head to the enchanted town of Celia in the east of Galid, an area related to the Millison quest, which you can start by talking to Gervais in a broken house at the south gate of the enchanted town on the south side of the town
2. Light the fire on the roof of Magic Town to unseal Magic Town, then defeat the two bosses
3. Go to the small room behind the boss, open the chest inside, and get Lucert's pyroxene staff
