Astrologer's Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. It becomes available partway through a run, in Liurnia of the Lakes.

The Astrologer's Staff is the staff of the astrologers, with a glintstone set in the tip so it can serve as a catalyst for sorceries, and its sideways handle resembles a cross-staff for measuring the angles between stars. It is the Astrologer's starting staff and is also sold by the Nomadic Merchant at the Liurnia Lake Shore for 800 runes. As a catalyst it offers C Intelligence sorcery scaling with a modest requirement. It is an early staff to be replaced once a stronger one is found. It suits a starting sorcerer.
