Digger's Staff

Notes

• Requires 8 Strength and 12 Intelligence, and weighs 4.5. Intelligence improves its Sorcery Scaling; Strength improves ordinary staff strikes rather than the damage of spells cast with it.
• Raises Shatter Earth and Rock Blaster damage by 20%. Rock Sling and other gravity sorceries are a different group and do not receive this bonus.
• The bonus works while the staff is active in either hand, even when you cast with a different staff. Two active copies multiply to 44% more qualifying damage.
• Its narrow spell bonus does not mean it is the strongest staff for every sorcery. You can keep it in one hand for the bonus and cast with a stronger upgraded catalyst in the other.
• Upgrade it with Smithing Stones to +25. It starts with No Skill and can use the compatible Spinning Weapon Ash of War; grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied to it.
• This is a random drop from Glintstone Miners. Ordinary versions have a 2% chance at 100 Item Discovery, while the larger version has 4%. Higher Item Discovery can help, but no number of kills guarantees the next drop.
• Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel is a convenient farming option because miners are close to its grace. Other Glintstone Miner groups also occur in Altus Tunnel and Sellia Hideaway.
• The staff is a dropped weapon, not one of the mine's chests or its boss reward. You do not need to defeat the Crystalian or spend a Stonesword Key to farm the nearby miners.
