So for sorcery builds the meteorite staff is gonna be your best friend early on - i grabbed mine from the street of sages ruins in caelid and its been amazing. The s-scaling right from the start is pretty nuts and it makes those gravity spells hit like a truck. Once you get deeper into the game though, youll want to swap over to the academy glintstone staff, especially after upgrading it past +15 when it really starts to shine.

The endgame is where things get interesting and you've got some cool options to play with. I personally love the carian regal scepter from rennala, its probably the most reliable choice since it doesnt have any downsides. If youre feeling spicy though, lusats glintstone staff hits like an absolute monster but watch out for that fp drain - its brutal if youre not prepared. Azurs is pretty fun too, makes you cast super fast but also drinks more fp than normal.

Something i found pretty useful is keeping the meteorite staff in your off-hand even late game, since that gravity boost is still really good. You can pair it with whatever main staff youre using and get the best of both worlds. Just remember that whatever you go with, make sure you've got the int requirements covered - nothing worse than finding a cool staff and not being able to use it! The academy glintstone staff is probably your safest bet for most situations, but once you hit those higher int levels, the carian regal scepter is hard to beat.
