As a result, the Crystal Staff's buff in Elden Ring does not affect them.
Wielding the Crystal Staff requires a stat allocation of Strength 8 and Intelligence 48, making it more of a mid to late-game weapon compared to something like the Carian Glintblade Staff.

The Rotten Crystal Staff can be acquired from farming Crystalian Mages within Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree. On the other hand, the Crystal Staff is located in a fixed location in Liurnia of the Lakes.
