Enshrouded: Best Resources To Stockpile

There are plenty of resources players can find on their adventures in Enshrouded. Here are the best ones they should stockpile.

Staff weapons are one of two types of mage-focused weapons in Enshrouded. A staff requires ammo in the form of craftable staff charges. These are two-handed, high-damage weapons. In contrast, the other mage weapon, the wand, is a one-handed weapon that does not use ammo. A good mage solo build will probably use both types of weapons, switching weapons depending on the situation. As far as staff weapons go, these are the best options for mages in Enshrouded.

7 Blackened Staff

Looted From Golden Chests Near Elixir Well

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Precise
Brutal
Spiritual
Mana Leech

The Blackened Staff is a solid choice for players focusing on mage skills in Enshrouded. The Mana Leech upgrade is very nice, although it is the last upgrade slot on the weapon, so the player will need a stack of runes to be able to unlock it.

Enshrouded: Best Early-Game Food Recipes

Finding suitable food options can be hard during the early stages of Enshrouded. Here's a list of the most appropriate recipes to consider.

The Blackened Staff can be looted from any golden chest in the Elixir Well region. However, something to keep in mind when reading this list, is that it is based on reported loot locations at the time it was published. It could be that the Blackened Staff could be looted elsewhere that has not been discovered as of this writing. This holds true for all the items ahead as well.

6 Hopeful Glimmer

End-Game Golden Chest Loot

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Shock Damage
Precise
Vicious
Recharge

Hopeful Glimmer is a good staff weapon for battlemage builds, with Shock Damage as an upgrade stat. However, the reason why this staff isn’t higher up on this list is because it can only be looted from golden chests in end-game regions of the map.

As Hopeful Glimmer is chest loot, the reload/respawn farming method can be used. To do this, find a suitable golden chest, loot it, then drop back to the main menu and reload the game, the chest will then respawn with fresh loot.

5 Mirage Staff

Mid-Game Loot Item Southwest Of Kindlewastes

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Shroud Magic Damage
Spiritual

With its Shroud Magic Damage bonus, and the fact this is a fairly easy staff weapon to loot, the Mirage Staff is a solid staff for beginners to Enshrouded who want to play a mage. The synergy between the Shroud Damage bonus and the skill unlocks that boost this damage is great.

Early on in the game, players will be sent to locate and free the Alchemist crafting NPC. On the way to this quest location, the player will unlock the Kindlewastes region of the map. This staff can be looted from any golden chest in the southwest part of this area.

4 Root Staff

Guaranteed Loot Staff In The Oasis Region

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Spiritual
Poison Damage
Mana Leech
Precise

The Root Staff is very easy to get, as it is a guaranteed drop from a golden chest. It can be located by heading to the Oasis region and looking for the large lava pool. On the edge of this pool is a small cave. Inside this cave is the chest that contains the Root Staff.

Enshrouded: Best Ranger Skills

The Ranger class is an incredibly powerful class in Enshrouded. Those looking to make the most of it should use these skills.

With Poison Damage and Mana Leech upgrades, this is a solid mid to late-game staff for mages. It does excellent damage, and is best used against magic-user NPCs for the Mana Leech to be at its most effective.

3 Shepherd’s Lightning

Looted From Golden Chests In The Sun Temple

Shephers Lightning Staff Weapons, Ranked

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Mana
Brutal
Precise
Spiritual

The Shepherd’s Lightning Staff is a good choice of weapon for mages who don’t like switching weapons to apply different damage types. This staff is basically a blank sheet. It has no damage bonuses, and as such, can be modified by using the appropriate staff charge for a particular damage type.

With a Mana Bonus, it is great for extended group fights as well. Shepherd's Lightning can be looted from golden chests in the Sun Temple, so this is a late-game staff. Players will need to have unlocked most of the map, and be fairly geared up to get into the Sun Temple in the first place.

2 Undergrowth Staff

Easy To Loot Early Game Staff

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Spiritual
Mana Leech

The Undergrowth Staff gets second place on this list because it is a very easy to loot staff that Enshrouded players can get in the early game. It is also a great backup ranged weapon for warriors and tanks. Players using tank skills, for example, might like to dabble in a handful of mage skills to exploit this weapon better.

Enshrouded: Best Healer Skills

Players looking to buff their chances of survival in Enshrouded need not look further than some of the game's best healer skills.

To get the Undergrowth Staff, head to the Kindelwastes region and go into the city ruins. In the northeast corner of the ruins is the Flame Sanctum, with a kettle inside. There is a Shroud Root here, with a Thunderbrute boss patrolling the area. Kill the boss to loot the staff.

1 Shroud Weaver Staff

The Best Staff Weapon In Enshrouted

Stats:

Power: 47

Upgrades:

Fire Magic Damage
Precise
Viscious
Recharge

The Shroud Weaver Staff is a typical nuker-style staff. Heavy on fire damage and great for taking down enemies fast with the Fireball II charge. It spawns in a specific chest, and can be farmed using the reload/respawn trick. Be sure to bring plenty of lockpicks to farm this staff.

It can be found in a chest on the west side of the map, but to the southeast of the KIndlewastes Ancient Spire POI. Look for a large wooden structure, and the chest will be on top of this platform.
