'''Wands''' are a recurring type of weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. This class of weapon is favored by magical characters such as [[mage]]s, [[priest]]s, and [[sage]]s, and many can also cast second tier spells if used as an item during battle. Notable staves in the series include the [[Lightning staff]] and and the [[Magma staff]], the latter of which is typically required to advance the story.

As of ''[[Dragon Quest X]]'', the family was split into the single-handed wands and two-handed [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|heavy wands]], with many of the staves that have appeared in prior games have now been reclassified as heavy wands. In Japanese versions of the game, they are known as '''sticks''' (スティック, ''Sutikku'') to better differentiate the two.

'''NOTE:''' Prior to the release of ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', wands were alternatively referred to as ''staves'', and some individual weapons still retain the nomenclature. In spite of this, none of the weapons listed here bare any relations to [[staff|Bo staves]]
