The '''sage's staff''' is a recurring [[Wand Weapon Family|wand]] in the {{DQSeries}}. 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 attack|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.

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.
