Maternal Staff | Elden Ring Wiki

Does it increase status build ups like albinauric? Will it increase IMPENETRABLE THORNS blood build up?

Its the prince of death staff for the int arc builds in terms of scaling

Don't even bother with this thing at or below rl 150. At 72 arc and 42 int (min requirement for fleeting microcosm) you just barely scrap 310 sorc scaling. I thought that maybe if I rolled over into NG+ to grab a second staff that the extra 15% buff to finger sorceries would at least be able to compete with an 80 int carian regal scepter build but no. You still do less damage with finger sorceries.

I don't understand why fromsoftware makes these staffs that are entirely useless until RL 200+, like who is this for?

Has 430 sorcery scaling at 99 int and arc.

Please delete my previous comment, as its a format mess. I'll put here some numbers.

For even distributions between INT and ARC:

With less than 69/69, Albinauric Staff (Alb) is the absolute best scaling staff (excluding really low values, entering Demihuman Queen Scepter territory).
At 69/69, (Alb) is still the highest scaling staff, but tied with Lusat's (Lus), AND Maternal Staff (Mat) at 359 MagAdjust.
From this point onwards, L and MS stay tied until 99/99, reaching 430 MagAdjust.

For fixed 80 INT distributions:

With 80 INT, and base ARC the best staff will be (Lus) with 413 MA. and the Regal Scepter (Reg) with 373 MA.
As ARC increases, (Mat) and (Alb) will practically be tied until 64 ARC, when (Mat) reaches 373 MA too.
At 80/80, (Mat) also reaches (Lus) 413 MA, without it's downside plus the Finger Socery bonus.
At 80/99 (Mat) is obvioulsy the highest scaling staff at 421.

For fixed 80 ARC distributions:

At minimal INT requirements, 21, (Mat) has 291 MA. and (Alb) 317 MA.
At 61 INT both staff tie with 366 MA.

QRD:

Top staffs per major breakpoint (in ascending RL order):
69/69 (Mat) and (Alb) 359 MA. | 2,60 MA. per stat point.
61/80 (Mat) and (Alb) 366 MA. | 2,60 MA/RL.
80/64 (Mat) and (Reg) 373 MA. | 2,59 MA/RL.
80/80 (Mat) and (Lus) 413 MA. | 2,58 MA/RL.
99/99 (Mat) and (Lus) 430 MA. | 2,17 MA/RL.

As we all knew, until 80 stat points are almost equally effective regarding the scaling.
From 80 onwards, each level put in each stat raises the (Mat) MA. by exactly one point.

guessing the reason this scales with arc when the other finger stuff scales with fai and int is because the maternal staff is more of a shitty cardboard facsimile of metyr's tail fingers and her cosmos bowling ball. metyr is related to the greater will, but she's also magic space crap so makes sense for int too, but the maternal staff isn't related to the greater will and just related to ymir's fetish for fingers or something

Gets a very high scaling at 80/80 but you don't really want your arc that high. I'm wondering how it compares to the albinauric staff at 80int/45arc though, which is much more realistic.

Submit

Can someone confirm how much ARC is necessary to surpass the Regal Scepter at 80 INT?

Submit

This staff is more back loaded like prince of death. Albinauric staff is better at under rl 200

Submit

Is the albinauric staff totally obsolete now? I really hope not because I love how it looks. How do they compare? Obviously this staff outperforms albinauric at 80/80, does albinauric come on top on different distributions?

Submit

413 sorcery scaling at 80/80 int/arc

Submit

This also should have been able to cast both Incantations , and Sorceries but scale like E/E/S.

Submit

This upgrades with regular Smithing Stones, not Sombers like the wiki page currently says

Submit

Please tell me it's better than Albinauric Staff. Please tell me we're talking about Prince of Death staff sorcery scaling here but for Int/Arc.

Submit

albinauric staff looks like **** so i guess im holding on a lovecraftian nightmare stick when i make an arcane build

Submit

So does anyone know if this scales up normal sorceries with arcane? I have a Dragon Communion Character, and I'm wondering if I can supplement him with some thorn sorceries using this stave and only having the bare minimum int reqs.

Submit

This increases finger sorceries by 15%.

Submit

Finger spells trash. Return to bubble.

We finally did it, Int/Arc bros. Bubbles AND Fingers.
