Top 5 Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring and where to find them?

sportskeeda.com:

Mages in Elden Ring use a very particular type of weapon known as a Glintstone staff for casting spells. As expected, just like katanas and greatswords, glintstone staves also vary depending on stats and scaling.

Obviously, being a weapon for mages, the scaling primarily relies on the intelligence stat. While some of them have very high requirements, there are a few that can be accessed in the early game as well.

The damage dealt by spells depends a lot on the scaling of the intelligence stat. Therefore, ensuring that the staff is upgraded from time to time is extremely essential.

It is important to remember that in most cases, building mages is extremely complicated, especially for new players. There is a lot to grasp at once regarding spells and staves that players need to understand.

Therefore, the following list will help new players a lot as it will make the task of finding the best glintstone staff for their magic builds a lot easier. However, it will also help veterans as well, since they will be able to plan out their builds before-hand.

The weapon only requires 18 intelligence, which is quite small for mages, but it also provides S scaling.

If players can pick it up early, then it can solo carry most of the challenging content in the early game. The issue, however, is that this staff cannot be upgraded, rendering it useless later in the game.

This is a staff that works extremely well with glintblade spells. This includes spells such as the normal glintblade sorceries, magic glintblade, glintblade phalanx, and others.

It provides somewhere around a 15% buff to those spells. This might not seem a lot in PvE, but it works quite well for PvP.
