The Crystal Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Mid game. It is found around Liurnia of the Lakes, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Upgrades

Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at D and Int at B, so Int is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 8 and Int 48 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling. It also enhances Crystalian sorceries by +10% on its own, with no infusion needed.

Notes

Staff fashioned from pure crystal; a deed impossible for a human. Enhances Crystalian sorceries. The Crystalian's faint cogitation is known as the "wisdom of stone." This staff can only be wielded by those of intellect high enough to grasp such wisdom.

How to Get Crystal Staff Guide

Found in a treasure chest inside the Academy Crystal Cave, located near the Crystalline Woods grace, in Liurnia of the Lakes.
The cave requires 2 Stonesword Keys to enter.
The chest is behind an illusory wall to the left after entering the room with a Battlemage.
