Wands are a recurring type of weapon in the Dragon Quest franchise. This class of weapon is favored by magical characters such as mages, priests, and sages, 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 wands, with many of the staves that had appeared in prior games having now been reclassified as heavy wands. In Japanese versions of the game, the former 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 bo staves

Wands can be equipped by Priests, Paladins, Luminaries, Dancers, and Druids, and still deal 10% more damage to demons.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

Wands can only be equipped by Serena. Like their bigger and heavier cousins, wands can drain MP away from enemies after a physical attack, given that the enemy has MP remaining. Unlike heavy wands, however, wands are weaker in terms of physical damage, and boost magical mending instead of magical might (although both are enhanced, magical mending is prioritised). Wands deal 10% bonus damage to monsters of the Elemental and Undead families. After unlocking the dual-wielding skill tree panel, Serena is able to dual-wield wands. Below is a list of all wands in Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age:

Wands are the main weapon type of Nera and are wielded exclusively by her. In this entry, wands can be used at either close or long range and produce magical bubble projectiles that are launched towards the enemy. These bubbles can be burst with Nera's abilities and spells. Although Nera's wands deal low damage, she can recover her MP with each hit unlike other characters.
