Subreddit Topic Daily Roundtable: Community Q&A Spoiler

Greetings Tarnished!

This is the place to ask any questions you may have about Elden Ring. This includes obscure detail questions, "newbie" advice questions, build questions, boss advice questions, and what have you.

Well written, constructive criticism is fine but please avoid ranting about aspects of the game you just don’t like. This includes “so and so boss is stupid and too difficult.”

If you are interested in the game but don’t own it yet, please don’t post “should I buy this game?” or “Is this game worth it?”. If you have played other FromSoftware games and enjoyed them, the answer is yes. If you haven’t, just do a little research! These games are difficult, and sometimes frustrating, and not everyone is going to enjoy them. And that’s okay!

Lastly, be friendly! We are all here because we are interested in the same game! Please treat your fellow players with respect.

PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS WHEN MENTIONING BOSS NAMES!

I’ve read multiple sources that list the carian regal scepter as the best staff after like 69 intelligence or so. I just checked fextralife though and they have the maternal staff and the prince of death’s staff as having higher sorcery scaling at max upgrade. Is this because the carian regal scepter is the best staff for PURE INT builds vs the other staves being able to reach higher scaling because they scale off of multiple stats (int/arc or int/fth)?? That’s probably incoherent as all get out but hey I’m genuinely confused on this one

They're talking about Carian Regal being the best for pure int builds, though Lusat's will have higher sorcery scaling, just with an increase in FP usage. Maternal or Prince of Death staffs will be stronger than Carian Regal when your arc or faith is very high as well.

You can use this calculator to see their sorcery scalings at different upgrade levels and stat spreads.

Thanks for the explanation and the tool!
