Meteorite Staff

Notes

• Cannot be upgraded. Its high starting Intelligence scaling makes it useful early, but there is no +10 or +25 version to work toward later.
• Increases gravity sorcery damage by 30%. Its casting stat is Intelligence: the staff has 244 sorcery scaling at 60 Intelligence and 272 at 80 Intelligence, with the gravity bonus applied separately.
• Intelligence still improves its sorcery scaling even though Smithing Stones cannot improve it. A fixed upgrade level does not mean its damage stays unchanged as your character levels.
• Rock Sling is found in the same ruins area, but the spell and staff are separate pickups. Getting one does not automatically give you the other.
• It has No Skill and cannot use a replacement Ash of War.
• Requires 18 Intelligence and 6 Strength. The Strength requirement lets you wield it; raising Strength does not improve its Sorcery Scaling.
• The 30% gravity bonus also works when you cast with a different staff while keeping Meteorite Staff active in the other hand. This lets it remain useful after a stronger upgraded casting staff overtakes its own scaling.
• Two active copies multiply their gravity bonuses to 69%. That is a damage-school bonus, rather than an increase to the Sorcery Scaling displayed on the equipment screen.
• The bonus applies to gravity sorceries such as Rock Sling. It does not boost a weapon's gravity skill just because its effects look similar, and it does not increase the distance that a pulling spell moves a target.
• Grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied to the staff itself. Its S Intelligence grade does not mean every other staff is weaker at every upgrade level and stat spread.
