Sorcery Scaling is based on Int stat. The Int of the the character with the staff equipped at the time of posting the Sor Scaling is located in the (Int) to the right of the scaling amount. This will help to give a general idea of what staves are better at various Int levels until MAX is achieved.
Graphing 8 data points for Sorcery Scaling at different Int levels comes to 1.11609x + 97.6978 (where x is int) at reinforcement level 0. The game does round so this may be off by a point or two. Use this to get a idea of how this will scale for you.
*Note: Sorcery Scaling will show as 60 if you do not meet the stat requirements. The Sorcery Scaling displayed on this table shows Minimum Requirement and Intelligence 80 as xx-yy.

AnonymousI know it requires a bit of research or experience to know about the meteorite staff, but we are two years out from release now. So I think it's a shame that the unique astrologer's staff doesn't hold a candle to it. Like, here's a unique weapon for the all-magic class, but you should chuck it in the chest at your earliest convenience and don't look back until you reach Raya Lucaria...

Sorcery scaling of this item should be modified by your zodiac sign

It'd been kinda cool if it buffed Founding Rain of Stars considering the lore. Besides its neat appearance, its rather unremarkable otherwise in the sorcery scaling department, being surpassed by a multitude of different staves.
why does it have a second foregrip? are you supposed to hold it like a ****ing baton?

Stats seem to be wrong, this staff seems to have higher scaling than astrologer and glinstone staffs
- Anonymous
Sad this one gets outclassed both in early, mid, and late game via the Demiqueen, Academy Sorcerer, and Carian Royal / Lusat Staffs respectively, I think it is one of the best looking staves.

Putting in everybody's stats below that actually list their INT, the equation for scaling at +0 is very, very close to (always round down):
1.165*INT + 97
This seems to hold for +/-2 and seems to be a tad high for over 60 INT so the scale probably drops a little with higher values.
Then for each plus, it looks like it's linear, with:
[+0's Scaling] * (1 + (0.032 * [Plus Amount]))
or:
+5, [+0's Scaling] * 1.16
+10, [+0's Scaling] * 1.32
+15, [+0's Scaling] * 1.48
+20, [+0's Scaling] * 1.64
+25, [+0's Scaling] * 1.8
This matches all of SamDoehart's data with +/- 1 accuracy

i have this at +25 with 60 int and it has 300 Sorcery Scaling
Yeah the Sor Scaling on the table is a mess. The posted equation does appear to work thus far when the staff is +0. But the equation very much changes when upgraded and I dont have enough data to do the math yet
- Anonymous
Just for common sense sake
1) put the bloody int you’re basing the scaling off
2) make sure the stats aren’t contradictory, +0 and +3 are the same? Yeeeeeeaaaannnno fix it
We appreciate people posting their scaling but if you go threw the trouble to do so please include your Int score to. Otherwise its mostly meaningless

Does incantations not work because I’m a samurai? I bought spells and equipped them, bought the Astrologers Staff, but it doesn’t do anything when I try and use it

Here is the data I used to find Sorcery Scaling equation:
Name, reinforcement level, Sorcery Scaling, (int)
Astrologer's Staff +0 115 (16)
Astrologer's Staff +0 136 (34)
Astrologer's Staff +0 139 (37)
Astrologer's Staff +0 142 (40)
Astrologer's Staff +0 157 (52)
1.15957x + 96.2872

This staff can be upgraded with ashes of war despite what the Wiki says, however, only a few ashes can be be used. Mine has spinning weapon in it.
The sorcery scaling stats of almost all the staves in this wiki are very off. Do NOT trust it.
My Astrologer Staff has 128 sorcery scaling at +4. And yes, I do have the stats to wield it. My Demi-Human Staff on the other hand has 130 sorcery scaling at +0. Character stats probably affects the sorcery scaling.
A relatively nice staff, cosmetically speaking. Being the starter staff it’s actually not half bad when upgraded. Yes, there are better options but, if you like the way it looks and don’t mind taking a hit to total damage it will suit you just fine with most spells. Meteor, Crystal and Regal are far better if you’re after damage.

Sorcery scaling isn't anywhere near 166, its much lower than that at 60 base sorcery scaling.

Elden Ring changes the display, and only displays the total magic adjustment value. You cannot see the base number + stat modifier anymore. So the stat you will see is always based on your current INT value. This means a comparison can only be done when using the same upgrade & player stats.

I'm a little confused. I found it in the shop and it says it has a sorcerery scaling of 118. Not... 166?
