Sage's Staff



The Sage's Staff, also known as Staff of the Magi, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It's often among the stronger weapons for magic users, and usually boosts the Holy element and White Magic. Its counterpart is the Mage's Staff.

Final Fantasy
In the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary editions, the Sage's Staff can be dropped by Squidrakens. It provides +15 Intelligence, 20 Attack, 10 Accuracy, and 15 Critical, and is equippable by both versions of the White, Black, and Red Mage.

When used as an item, it casts the Life spell. When a character wielding this weapon casts Holy, the damage dealt will be doubled. If a Black Mage wields the staff and casts Holy using the Lightbringer sword, it can do more damage than even Flare.

Final Fantasy III
The Sage Staff is the Sage Job Master item given by the Legendary Smith. It provides 110 Attack and +10 to all other stats.

Final Fantasy IV
The Sage Staff is found in the Lunar Subterrane, casts Life when used as an item, and provides +15 to Spirit. It provides 48 Attack, 15 Accuracy, and deals extra damage to undead enemies.

Final Fantasy XI
The Sage's Staff is the second stage of restoring the Claustrum Relic Weapon for Black Mages and Summoners, arguably the worst Relic Weapon upgrade choice as it enhances absolutely no magical aspect of either Job whatsoever.

Final Fantasy XII
The Staff of the Magi is the most powerful staff, and can be stolen from Luxollid. It has an Attack Power of 46, and boosts magic power more than any other staff in the game. It also enhances the power of the Holy spell by 50%.

In the International Zodiac Job System version, if lucky enough, one can find it in the Great Crystal after Way Stone X. It can also be dropped by Oversoul in the Necrohol of Nabudis. Only the Black Mage may equip the staff.
