You might\u2019ve seen other players using powerful spells to damage enemies from a mid-range distance, and now you want a piece of that action.<\/p>\n<p>If you picked one of the non-magical classes at the start, don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s still possible to pick up a staff in Elden Ring and use it to dish out some magic attacks.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to do a bit of legwork (and level up your Intelligence stat) to catch up with those magic-using players, but it shouldn\u2019t take you too long in the grand scheme of things.<\/p>\n<p>Keep on reading for some top tips on getting an Elden Ring staff, understanding magic-based stats, and learning some sorceries nice and early in the game.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to get the best early staff in Elden Ring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re relatively new to Elden Ring and looking to try out some Glintstone magic attacks, you\u2019ll want to pick up a staff that doesn\u2019t require too much preamble before letting you loose with spells aplenty.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d wager that the\u00a0<strong>Meteorite Staff\u00a0<\/strong>is the best early staff in Elden Ring. The requirements to wield it aren\u2019t that high, and it has some of the best scaling in the game (meaning that your attacks will increase in power nicely as you level up your Intelligence stat). You should be able to find it relatively easily by using the video guide below.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Meteorite\" staff=\"\" location=\"\" in=\"\" elden=\"\" ring=\"\" how=\"\" to=\"\" get=\"\" a=\"\" magic=\"\" early-game=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LA4QOOeJV_o?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Essentially, you need to find a portal in Limgrave (downstairs at the Dragon-Burnt Ruins) that will allow you to teleport over to a region called Caelid. Here, after a bit of running about, you\u2019ll pick up the Meteorite Staff from a corpse that doesn\u2019t need it anymore.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The best Elden Ring staffs and where to find them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for one of the very best staff options in Elden Ring, there are a couple of things to bear in mind when it comes to picking which Elden Ring staff best suits your needs and capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The two main stats to be aware of are Sorcery Scaling attack power (the higher number the better) and Intelligence Scaling (S is the best one followed by A, B, C and so forth). These stats combine to determine how much damage your magical attacks will do, and how much that damage will increase as you level up your Intelligence stat.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s also important to note that each staff requires you to reach a specified Intelligence level before you\u2019ll be able to use it \u2013 the higher that number is, the more you\u2019ll need to level up your Intelligence stat before you can wield this staff in combat.<\/p>\n<p>With all of that in mind, we\u2019ve listed some of the very best Elden Ring staff options for you below, with links that will show you where to find them. Pick a staff that isn\u2019t too far off your current Intelligence rating, or the number you\u2019re willing to grind up to, and you should be off to the races!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lusat\u2019s Glintstone Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 300<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: B<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 52<\/li>\n<li>Found by defeating a boss in Selia, Town of Sorcery (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=APy_EJblvsw&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Academy Glintstone Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 168<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: B<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 28<\/li>\n<li>Found by killing Thops or giving him the second Glintstone Key (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QnMZuOZ1XwI&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Astrologer\u2019s Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 166<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: C<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 16<\/li>\n<li>Received by default if you pick the Astrologer starter class (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vyxRXr0Jv4U&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">or buy it here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Glintstone Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 163<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: B<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 10<\/li>\n<li>Received by default if you pick the Prisoner starter class (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=00A7ofU9HBQ&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">or find it here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Azur\u2019s Glintstone Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 159<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: B<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 52<\/li>\n<li>Found by traversing secret paths in Raya Lucaria Academy (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IyGrYcpNzIo&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Digger\u2019s Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 157<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: D<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 12<\/li>\n<li>Found by defeating Miners in Sellia Crystal Tunnel (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-8iOX9e8D74&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Meteorite Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 143<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: S<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 18<\/li>\n<li>Found in the Street of Sages Ruins, Aeonia Swamp (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LA4QOOeJV_o&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Demi-Human Queen\u2019s Staff <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 128<\/li>\n<li>Intelligence Scaling: C<\/li>\n<li>Required Intelligence: 10<\/li>\n<li>Found by defeating the Demi-Human Queen in Weeping Peninsula (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mMqa4pkiGVs&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>The Staff of the Guilty <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li>Sorcery Scaling attack power: 127<\/li>\n<li>Faith Scaling: C<\/li>\n<li>Required Faith: 12<\/li>\n<li>Found by defeating guards at Mount Glemir, Fort Laiedd (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VdzbufsYoy0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">see video guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><strong>Where to learn magic attacks in Elden Ring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got a staff, where do you pick up the magic attacks that go with it?
