The Staff of Loss is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

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

Why Players Pick It

The cheapest big multiplier in the class: 's class page gives it +30% to invisibility sorceries at 2.5 weight and only 14 Int, and 's Sorcery Scaling page confirms that boost fires from the non-casting hand. Its own scaling is poor, which is exactly why you hold it rather than cast with it.

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 E, Dex at E and Int at C, so Int is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 6, Dex 12 and Int 14 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 boosts invisibility sorcery on its own, with no infusion needed.

Notes

Staff missing its glintstone. Wielded by sorcerers who believe that discovery comes through acts of asceticism. This staff only distinguishes itself when casting invisibility sorceries, but that is reason enough for some to wield it.
