Best overall archistaff in Dragon’s Dogma 2 for Sorcerers
The Dragon’s Wit is the best overall archistaff in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and it’s our best endgame pick thanks to its excellent stats. The Plucked Heart is a fantastic early game option while mid-game players should opt for the pricey Solar Providence. They should offer you enough Magick to breeze through any bosses you may come across. After the game’s true ending, you’ll encounter even more enemies in New Game Plus mode’s Unmoored World. Read on to learn more about our top 3 archistaff picks.
3 – Plucked Heart, the best early-game archistaff in Dragon’s Dogma 2
At 24500 Gold, this archistaff is the best option in Checkpoint Rest Town, one of the towns you’ll run into early on in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Upgrades will let it take out most enemies in the game. Just remember that blacksmiths in Vermund and Battahl have different approaches to upgrading gear.
2 – Solar Providence, the best mid-game archistaff in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Among all the mid-game archistaves for Sorcerers, the Solar Providence is our top pick from Awaran’s Arms. It costs a steep 36200 Gold but it should take you through the rest of the game with each. You can even survive the game’s final boss with this weapon, provided you have melee pawns like a Fighter or Warrior defending you.
1 – Dragon’s Wit, the best endgame archistaff in Dragon’s Dogma 2
As for the priciest archistaff in the game, Dragon’s Wit costs you 110 Wyrmslife Crystals, earned by slaying dragons. It has the best stats in the game and is worth working towards. It doesn’t fix your poor health bar though so remember to keep your distance from claws and talons. If paying up sounds dreary to you, consider the Lion-Lord’s Archistaff for 56900 Gold. It lets you use the lightning element too for some bonus damage against foes. If you play as a mage, we’ve covered the best staff picks in the game too.
