What Are Archistaves?

Weapons for Sorcerers

Sorcerers are the only ones who can use Archistaves in the game, meaning no other character with different vocations can equip it. Archistaves increase the Magick of a Sorcerer, boosting its offensive spells in a battle.
How to Unlock Sorcerer Vocation

Can Be Equipped on a Sorcerer Pawn

Sorcerer Pawns can also equip and use an Archistaff. You can consider giving them a better one other than their default Archistaff to improve their overall stats.

Pawns System Explained

Different from Staves

Archistaves are different from Staves, not only in their sizes. Archistaves are designed for Sorcerers, and Staves are for Mages only. It means you can't equip an Archistaff on a Mage or Staff on a Sorcerer.
