Effect Casts Midheal or Insulate

The Sage's staff is a recurring wand in the Dragon Quest series. In earlier entries in the series it could be used as tool to cast Midheal on an ally, but starting with Dragon Quest IX the sage's staff could be used to cast Insulate on an ally and protect them from breath attacks.

Characteristics

The staff has had two different designs throughout the series history. The design featured in III and VII is a tall wooden staff with an upwards curving horn-like shape at the top and a metal cover on the bottom. The weapon also features a jewel set in the center of the top section, either blue or orange depending on the game. Starting with IX, the sage's staff is now dark red and has a orange crystal orb at the top held in a silver setting.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation remake

The sage's staff has an attack bonus of +50 and can be equipped by Mages, Priests, and Sages. It can cast Midheal on any ally when used as a tool in battle. The sage's staff can be purchased from Kol for 15,000 Gold Coins and sold for 11,250.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

The sage's staff has an attack bonus of +50 and a style bonus of +12. It can be equipped by Maribel and Sir Mervyn and can be purchased for 15,000 gold from Providence in the present and sold for 7,500 Gold Coins. However, the sage's staff will not see much practical use, as the party will acquire the staff of salvation from the events at Gröndal for free, which also casts Midheal when used as a tool in battle.
