What are Staves?
Weapons for Mages
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!
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!
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.
