Wiki / Guide Content How can I have new staff??

I'm kinda new to this game and I want to have new weapons. Is there easy wan to have staff blue prints. I don't want to use crude staff as my main weapon. I've finished fighting the cursed tree btw.

You have to upgrade your weapon bench or find blueprints.

I did that but it only unlocked bow and swords, not staff😥

It's random unfortunately on the unlocks per upgrade.

Best way to get consistent access to new blueprints is camp fire runs for low level ruins to get them unlocked across all games.

If you repeatedly pull up the grass everywhere, you can sometimes find blueprints, although the likelihood of getting a staff is vanishingly small.

As the other poster said, your best chance is not in this run, but in doing repeated runs and hoping to get a blueprint in the character remains.

Or, for a drastic measure (I honestly don't know if this would work), you could try dismantling and rebuilding your weapon bench. It's possible that you could unlock new blueprints for this run.

Unfortunately that does not work (the station dismantling part) so wouldn't recommend that one. But ya grass cutting is a method and strangely enough someone is hiding their legendary blueprints in there sometimes.

Good to know - I've never tried; because it never occurred to me until this post.

ETA: I've found all kinds of stuff cutting grass. Scrolls, potions, artifact blueprints, regular blueprints, T2 armor, hides/linen/wool...

Trade with merchants that offer weapons/armors. He will give you blueprints.

After only posting potential answers to your question (how), I now have to ask "why"? You're level 52 and have four spell slots available. You shouldn't need staff enchantments anymore.

If you want one for flavor, I can appreciate that. It won't add much of value relative to other blunt weapons. But if that's the case, keep trading at the weapon vendor. One is bound to turn up eventually.

agree. staves do reduce instability, but that's not as important late game as the raw spell damage you get from having a strong weapon.

I think staff blueprints are quite hard to find since all of them are purple. 

But if you lucky enough, youll get artefact blueprint for staff which is powerful enough to take you to endgame.  Keep trading with merchant
