There's also a staff that buffs unarmed attacks. I can't remember the details off hand, I only found it once and it wasn't my monk playthrough.

i dont see the "Staff of the Moonmaiden" do you upgrade it? I was thinking maybe getting the moon stone in the underdark temple but i dont know how to get it off instead of just breaking it.

Really kind of sad that the best weapon my Sorc has to use is the Spellsparkler. Electric Veins is too good to not use, by itself it's more useful than the entirety of Markoheskir.

Blurg the trader in the myconid colony can sell "Melf's First Staff". It's really really good as it adds +1 to your spell save dc's and spell attack rolls. It's also super cheap.

I couldn't get the Blight from the Woe staff to show up on my characters hotbar. Hes a sorcerer and he should be able to get it but it just doesn't show up no matter how many times I re-equip it. Doesn't show up on my Spellbook tab either. Not sure what the deal is. I get the spells from the Incandescent Staff just fine.

missing entry: staff of arcane blessing, found in arcane tower top level.
sounds pretty ridiculous.
when blessing:
+additional 1d4 to normal attacks and saving throws,
+additional 2d4 to spells using attack rolls.
Staffs are fairly powerful, but with the dual wielder feat you can equip two. Let me tell you, having two staves that boost spell DC is insane.
