The Carian Glintstone Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. It is found in Liurnia of the Lakes, around the middle of a run.

The Carian Glintstone Staff is the other of the two Carian staves, given to sorcerers so they might enact the role of knight, and it enhances Carian sword sorceries. It lies on a throne-like seat in the Carian Study Hall in Liurnia of the Lakes, just before the second lift. It boosts Carian Greatsword, Carian Piercer, Carian Slicer and Adula's Moonblade, and the boost applies even from the off-hand without meeting its requirements. That makes it a strong partner for power stancing staves. It suits a melee mage who fights with Carian sword sorceries and a shield.
