Meteorite Staff | Elden Ring Wiki

I feel like people complaining that it’s not upgradable are missing the point of why that’s both good and important. For sorcerers, you want to raise your stats as high as possible and as fast as possible. You care much more about getting Int to 80 than melee units care about it for their stats. So not having to spend runes for the first 1-2 bosses on upgrading your staff directly transfers to more Int. It also makes it easier to build melee weapons on top of casting.

In contrast with incantations, most incantations up through Limgrave aren’t doing damage. You don’t get lightning for a while, so the best you’ll have are some dragon incantations. So scaling your Talisman isn’t as important which is one reason Fth hybrid builds work so well. On the other hand, most Sorceries you get are for damage. You need to actually be able to deal damage with them.

There are melee equivalents to this (GUGS, Bloodhound Blade, Golden Halberd) that you can get before even reaching Godrick’s castle. At least for this, you have to survive the miserable roaches spamming webs while at level 5. And long-term, it’s outclassed. It’s just there as a jumpstart for mages who want to rely on spells for damage

I like magic but this staff ruins the fun of leveling a weapon. It's the best staff you can get until +4 somber Lusat's, or +14 Academy for int scaling.

Submit

Low level character with zero upgrades. Level 19 Astrologer all levels in INT. Use every INT boosting item. Dual wield two of this staff. Get Meteorite of Astel and Cerulean Hidden Tear. Low level co-op and surprise host with boss one shot to get a priceless reaction. Admittedly though, going through the game without upgrades at low level up to Astel is a high price.

Submit

This thing does bonkers damage.
Even with 30 INT, I had enough damage output to kill dragons at Dragonbarrow with stuff like Carian Slicer with relative ease.

This will carry you all the way to the Altus Plateau in a spell blade build.

Submit

does this boost cast speed at all like some of the other staffs?

Submit

I was thinking of doing a Grandsax's bolt RL20 sunbro to impress the Limgrave players but the twink potential of this staff is just scary.

Submit

I just wish the staff had slightly more embellishment in its design. I like it, but it does feel noticeably plain compared to the other staves in game.

Submit

Yes, why not just give mages pre-upgraded +12 level staff which they can grab right from the start. As if mage gameplay is not easy enough already. But of course, there is no way this is an early game thing, complaining that newcomers won't ever find it by themselves until reaching midgame stage is ridiculous

Submit

best staff in the game

Submit

Sucks that this thing doesnt boost the Gravitas ash of war on the Meteorite Ore Blade. That combination makes for a nice Gravity Samuari (Yasha)

Submit

great if ur a melee main like me but wanna yeet some rocks once a while

Submit

as a melee main I like using this as a ranged option since I don't have to spend stones or make ammo for it, and that +30% dmg is pretty good. Use it with cold infusion or native int weapon for best results.

Submit

Idiotic that this is a great early game staff but a first-time player will probably not find it until much later in the story as it's in the middle of one of the most dangerous areas in the game and already obsolete if you're at an appropriate level to actually explore it safely.

Submit

I hate that this ugly stick destroys sorcerer progression early game and is useless late game, I refuse to use it out of principle. The stats of this staff are genuinely baffling, why is this the ONE weapon out of hundreds that cant be upgraded making it op early game and also not filling the gravity sorcerer niche late game

Submit

How do pvp calculate the level of this weapon? Did it count as level 1 or level 25 or all level?

Submit

doubling up on this staff is corny at low level. definitely get one dropped or use collectors edition if you get the chance

Submit

For purely gravity spells, would this be the best staff to use regardless of int level?

Submit

Just picked up the meteorite staff and scaling is only 153

Submit

It would be great if the staff was there, along with several other items that are gone since the patch!

Submit

double meteor staff at low/mid level is insane for damage output

Submit

If anyone was wondering, from the information I've gathered, this counts as a +0 as far as weapon level matchmaking is concerned.

Submit

If you don't use gravity sorceries, you should switch to the Academy Glinstone Staff once you can upgrade it +14 or more. It will be a straight upgrade for damage output.

Submit

Ok bellow me I spoke to soon, after reading the Carian Glintstone staff page, my bad XD.

Submit

This Staff has the highest scaling out of all the staffs, OP am I right.

Submit

It would be great if you could upgrade this staff and it scaled with both Strength and Intelligence, it would be very useful for big strong nerdy boys

Submit

At 41 int (when Academy Glinstone Staff passes Demi-human) the Academy Glinstone staff and Demi-Human surpass it when upgraded past +14 from my testing (note: I did not take into account the 10% gravity bonus, but result will still be similar anyway).

Basically, at 41 int and stave upgrades past +14 you should start using a better staff and keeping the Meteorite staff in your offhand if you still want the bonus and don't mind duel wielding. Let me know if my clacs are wrong, they're likely a little off.

Submit

even though I'm using sorceries as a side weapon along with Wing of Astel, they still do more damage because all of my damage sorceries are gravity. should I just go full caster?

Submit

paired meteor staffs can be pretty absurd at low level, regularly oneshotting people with full charged gravity well at 45+8

Submit

Submit

This thing is absolutely busted. My friends and I are playing a seamless co-op no upgrades run and one of my friends went running off and picked this up to use. Now I know why hes melting everything despite no upgrades. Damn thing is already maxxed out.

"Hurr hurr its cuz it has S scaling" I knew that mf was lying on a technicality.

Submit

This thing absolutely destroys in PvP at low level, with the right equipment I have over 60 int at rl 30 and one shot everyone

Submit

Its weird this staff cant be upgrade, i mean of the hundreds of equipable weapons, shields, staffs, seals, everything!, this is the only thing in the game you can not upgrade.

Submit

It says sorceries, but does this boost apply to things such as Alabaster Lords' Pull or Gravitas too?

Submit

why does this staff even exist? it just serves to make every other early game staff completely obsolete

Submit

Is it worth using simultaneously two Meteoric Staves in a Gravity Spells only run, or is it better to pair with a stronger staff? I'm not sure, since two Meteoric Staves should boost Gravity Spells by 60%

Submit

Please offhand this staff and use Carian Regal Scepter people!!! The amount of players that use this exclusively and level to high intelligence hurts my head. This staff is only good for buffing gravity sorceries. Why ruin your damage just to make those spells 30% better, except you can still use a better staff and gain the bonus regardless. The only time it is acceptable to use this staff is on low level builds as it starts out as the best.

Submit

The Dragon Seal is more op and u can get it just as early, sure you gotta upgrade it a little bit but you can get it to +2 just by helping Blaidd and picking up the +1 somber from the scarab by golden vow AoW. Dragon Seal is where it is at if you TRULY want to be an op caster early on. Sprint to Frenzy Burst and then go get Ekzykes Decay, GG EZ

Submit

If you equip two staves, it boosts gravity sorceries cast with the other staff by 25%.

Submit

Anyone know if it boosts gravity sorceries in the offhand while another hand uses another staff?

Submit

ROCK SLING

Submit

Hehe

Submit

Haha rock sling make numbers big

Submit

this thing carried me till late game. Pretty broken for how early you can get it

Submit

This staff can't be upgraded? That's weird. Do gravity mages just use Lusat's Staff in late-game?

Submit

Wish it buffs gravity AoW and throwables too.

Submit

best staff in the game because you can just focus on upgrading your weapon instead.

Submit

The only S scaling weapon in the whole game that i can use on a lvl 14 pvp build against others with 0+ upgrades. 300 carian slicer damage with 52 dex casting speed... ya nothing op to see here.

Submit

Why can't I find it in the window?

Submit

honestly would have preferred this staff to be a strength/int scaling staff to fit with the gravity sorceries, similar to the beastmark seal and bestial incantations. Still, a great staff for early to mid game

Submit

I'm honestly surprised that they went down the no upgrade path instead of making it's Sorcery Scaling scale off of both Strength and Intelligence. The reason that I say this is that all of the weapons with innate Gravity skills (Meteoric Ore Blade, Alabaster Lord's Sword, Onyx Lord's Greatsword, Fallingstar Beast Jaw, Starscourge Greatsword) are all Strength oriented Intelligence weapons that deal more physical damage than magic damage at even Strength/Intelligence. The existence of the Clawmark Seal proves that they could have done it.

Sure you'd have to nerf the boost that it gives to Gravity sorceries and it would be useless on most Intelligence builds, but it would complement the 5 Gravity weapons as I'll call them very well. However Meteorite of Astel would need to have the Intelligence requirement lowered a bit to around 45 Int to make it work better with this Staff if that was the case.

Submit

This is the best staff for gravity sorceries up to 70 INT then the Carian regal takes over, and yes I know you can offhand this staff with a better scaling staff for a bigger boost but not everyone ants to dual wield staves

Submit

early game wizard friend

Submit

It claims to be outclassed by staffs at higher int levels, but that requires upgrading those staffs to VERY high levels, even at 60 Int, it still outclasses a +6 Carian Regal Scepter, 244 to 237, and doesn't need the rune ro smithing stone cost to upgrade. Once you have this, you should just keep using it until you beat at least the Fire Giant, but keeping it as far as Radagon is still a good move.

It also powers up Rock Sling which can be found nearby, which is boosted by 30%, meaning even if you have a staff with higher scaling (like the aformentioned staff) it still won't do as much damage as it doesn't get this boost. Did I mention Rock Sling is one of the few sorceries that can stun enemies, so you can get more slings off while they're stunned? It's also very cheap on FP.

This thing is RIDICULOUSLY op in PVE, no other staff is worth having AT ALL until you have 60 Int and Lusat's to start Comet Azuring people. This, which you can pick up in probably under 10 minutes of starting the game by getting Torrent and simply riding into east Aeonia can easily still be your best staff going into Radagon+EB.

Submit

When you apply that 30% bonus to the spell buff itself, the only staves that are stronger are those requiring 50 INT and above, like Lusat... and you also need to upgrade those. Definitely the best staff for mage-only runs, the QoL of not having to upgrade it is felt for the whole run.

Submit

Pity incantation users don't have talisman equivalent of this. This item absolutely carries sorcerers to the mid-game and beyond with Rock Sling.

Submit

the beauty of this is not its powerful but rock sling is, with its curve shooting and great range.

do anyone know how much Sol scale can make up the 30% buff

Submit

They should reduce this stave's scaling and make it upgradeable to bring it in line with the other staves early game. As it is now there in NO reason to use any other staff until +14 upgrade. This would also mean that it would be good late game when using gravity spells.

Submit

This item shouldn't exist as it is in its current state, it makes all other staves irrelevant until you can acquire 6 Smithing stone 5s. They should nerf its current scaling and make it upgrade so that it fills the niche of being the gravity magic staff and no the early game staff which should be filled by the demihuman queen staff instead.

Submit

Demi human staff is also easy to aquire, and becomes better very early after just few upgrades if you want to keep your int low in the early stages of the game. So this staff is not OP.

Submit

Early game this is amazing but I kind of wish it had a purpose end game outside of offhanding to boost gravity magics. If this scaled with Str better end game I would love to do a Str/Int build focused solely on gravity magics.

Submit

Saw some dude saying this needs to be nerfed.
An un-upgradable, early game usage staff that only boosts gravity sorceries. Nothing op about it, just a good staff.

Submit

If planning a mage run, get this staff (and rock sling) asap. A little scary/frustrating going through Caelid the first time, but totally worth the effort.

Submit

This staff is totally OP. Sorry but it needs to be nerfed.

Submit

The nearest site of grace is “Aeonia Swamp Shore” directly north of there hugging the cliff side. Also they are rot flowers not poison flowers.

Submit

literally the best staff in the game and you dont even have to upgrade it lmao, comes out of the box with S int scaling

Submit

Amazing for twinking hosts with overleveled summons in limgrave :^)

Submit

My Carian Regal Scepter finally got better than this with 60 int and upgraded to +7. This staff is absolutely insane for sorcerers up until late game.

Submit

I didn’t find the staff in the small room on dead guy while playing on the ps4. Has anyone else have this problem and any ideas where else the staff can be at?

Submit

Fromsoft just lost the chance of making this the single strength-intelligence scaling staff to instead make an unupgradable staff that makes all other staffs obsolete up to a very late stage of the game, congratulations.

Submit

Is this even good with just 18int? What's the Sor Scaling of having the meteor rod with just 18int?

Submit

If I wanna play around gravity magic, should i keep this staff all the game through since it buffs gravity magic? or does some other maxed staff beat it? and by how much? lusat's doesn't count imo cuz it consumes additional fp

Submit

Best staff in the game hands down. yeah other staffs will eventually out damage it but god damn they need like 50-60 int to use so if u wanna run around 70% of the game with all your stats in int and let everything one shot you then there's better staffs for that. But if you want to actually survive fights whilst still doing good damage, having a decent equip load, having high fp,hp and sp whilst having a good weapon as a side arm that's highly upgraded then always pick this bad boy up

Submit

Will still out damage an Academy +25 if both are using rock sling

Submit

I have the staff and 18 intelligence and is equiped to my left hand but I can't cast any spells with it, he just scratches his head. What do I need to do to be able to cast spell

Submit

From 24 Int to 40 Int with data points goes from 153 to 193
So formula is something like : 150 + 2,5*Int (linear regression)

Submit

I have staff equipped and have 18 intelligence but I can't cast the spell, why?

Submit

Does this count as an upgraded weapon for matchmaking? and if so what upgrade level roughly?

Submit

say 60 int and with other staffs upgraded to at least +24/+9, is this staff still worth it if I just want to use it off hand for Rock Sling? or should I just use Regal Scepter at this point

Submit

If I wanted to make a character who would exclusively uses gravity spells, would it be better to use this, or some other staff later in the game?

Submit

Boosts gravity sorcery by exactly 30%.

Submit

Pretty much the best staff in the game until you get enough materials to boost other staffs to max level. Kinda crazy, and for some reason it also boosts meteorite spells and in the same area you get THE best meteorite spell in the game (combination of speed, fp cost, range, stun and damage)

Submit

FELLOW PPL WHO CANT FIND IT

I am playing the launch version unpatched version, and I’m sure you are as well, which is why you can’t find it. Many items haven’t been where they are in the patched version, it’s like a different game almost.

Please reply if you find it!

Submit

No corpse in window & no staff. What gives?

Submit

I just got this staff and got my intelligence up to 18. It doesn’t seem that powerful, am I doing something wrong?

Submit

Dunno if this got nerfed but it has sorcery scaling of 145. Not 262

Submit

Ummm...

"However, since it is not upgradeable, it gets outperformed in the later game by upgraded staffs like the Demi-Human Queen's Staff."

No, absolutely not. The low requirements for the Queen's staff make it decent early on to play around with Sorc, but it gets outshined by starting staff when upgraded. Total meme comment as far as I can tell. Don't waste time upgrading the Demi-Human Queen's Staff - please y'all.

Submit

You could likely make a very powerful coop mage build with this, as you don't require to upgrade it, because you can't. Glass cannon coop time.

Submit

Does anyone know what the penalty for using a staff like this is when you don't have the INT for it? I'm using it for just the scholars armament but it still lets me cast it. Is the effect weaker?

Submit

Since I just hit the 60 INT milestone, here's some data:

At 60 INT:
Carian Regal Scepter+8 has 262 scaling.
This thing, which don't need any upgrades, has 244. (~7% loss)

The fact that it's just 7% is pretty mindboggling by itself, but that also means that at this level Meteorite Staff with its bonus to gravity spells will still deal more damage with Rock Sling. (810~ vs 700~). Crazy.

Submit

It boosts gravity-type sorceries by ~30 %.

Submit

I made some test and it buff gravity spell by 23% . So basically better than other elements buff staff. Rock sling, collapsing star and metorite crush everything. It break stance insanely fast.

Submit

roughly compareable to a lvl 15 staff in terms of sorc scaleing

Submit

Lusat outscales this at +6 ?

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Lusat's+Glintstone+Staff

at least it feels like im starting to hit much harder with rock sling than when i use this staff (finally i have wanted to upgrade to something more visually appealing for a long time)

Submit

I went to the tower with the runes and the flowers but the corpse is missing no staff in sight.

Did they remove it from the game?

Submit

After getting this staff, which upgradeable staff should we aim for? Academy? Demi-Human Queen's?
Which staff once upgraded is actually better than the Meteorite staff?

Submit

Didn’t know this was a s-tier

Submit

It would be nice to see some more gravity spells. The current ones are nice but, they’re expensive and not all that useful in my personal opinion, as they’re generally pretty slow to caste and if you’re a pure sorcerer the last thing you want is to pull enemies toward you. They’re most all very powerful however, and definitely hurt A LOT when you get them off and they land on target. Coupled with the staff they just get even more powerful, and can make bosses a bunch of big ninnies.

Submit

Fun fact: This is the best weapon you can use when playing co-op with friends especially during late game. There are practically no invaders that will be able to invade you because you don't match with players that have upgraded their weapons.

Submit

Does look like staffs stack, if you hold this in your left hand and cast with a better wand in your right, you get the scaling of the better wand, plus the gravity boost skill.

Submit

When equipped in offhand the boost to gravity spells applies to your main hand staff when casting.
