Digger's Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. It is found in Caelid, around the middle of a run.

The Digger's Staff belonged to a sorcerer-miner who extracts glintstone from crystal tunnels; the staff itself is a mining tool with a glintstone in its ferrule. It drops from Glintstone Miners in the crystal tunnels, including the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel, Sellia Crystal Tunnel and Altus Tunnel. It boosts Stonedigger sorceries, Rock Blaster and Shatter Earth, and can be found early by sorcerers who do not start with a staff. Because its boost covers so few spells, it is a niche choice later on. It suits an early sorcerer or a build centered on those two spells.
