What are Staves?

Weapons for Mages

Dragon
Staff is a weapon that is only available for Mages in Dragon's Dogma 2. You won't be able to equip it on other characters with different vocations other than Mages!

Mage Best Builds, Augments, and Skills

Can Be Equipped on a Mage Pawn

Mage Pawns can also equip and use Staves in the game. Consider giving them a better staff other than their default ones to ensure they can perform at the same level as your Arisen character!

Pawns System Explained

Mostly Increases Magick

Staff mostly increases the Magick stat for your Mage character, aside from a few exceptions, like Goblin Bane, where it gives more Strength than Magick. The damage from your Magick attacks will increase if you equip a staff, so be sure to use one!

All Stats Explained

Staves are Different from Archistaves

Archistaves are different from Staves. Archistaves are for Sorcerers, and Staves are for Mages. It means you won't be able to equip an Archistaff to a Mage or a Staff to a Sorcerer.

Best early game staff is Tintreach. Fairly easy to obtain if you have time and effort.
