Best Scepters in Atlyss

Scepters in Atlyss are essential tools for mystics, designed to harness the power of the Mind attribute and channel it into devastating magical attacks. Each scepter offers unique strengths, making them the key to unlocking your class's potential.

There are a lot of choices, so we'll take the best options and highlight their stats, elements, and where you can find them. Whether you're just starting out or already taking down tougher dungeons, there's a perfect scepter for every player.

Atlyss is in Early Access at the time of writing, so weapon availability and stats may change with future updates.

9 Wooden Scepter

The Wood Scepter may be your very first magical weapon in Atlyss, but don't underestimate it. This simple wand will get you through the early levels by dealing steady damage without costing too much. It's perfect for anyone new to the Mystic class just figuring out how to play.

You can buy the Wood Scepter from Sally's Store in Sanctum for just seven crowns, so it's incredibly affordable. While it won't get you past the early levels, it's a reliable starting weapon to help you get the hang of things. Pair it with early game spells for smooth dungeon crawling.

8 Splitbark Scepter

​

The Splitbark Scepter is a step up from the Wood Scepter, offering higher damage and better durability. It's a good option for early to mid game mystics. The main draw of the scepter is its availability – you can grab it as a drop from Slimes and Wisps in Outer Sanctum or Effold Terrace. Its decent stats make it a flexible option if you don't want to invest in expensive gear too early.

It's worth hunting down this scepter while exploring, as it provides a much-needed power boost at lower levels. You'll find its consistent damage especially useful when dealing with dungeons.

7 Marrow Bauble

Marrow Bauble adds shadow damage into the mix, making it perfect for dealing with enemies weak to this element. Its slightly higher damage stat and elemental bonus make it an attractive upgrade for Mystics ready to diversify their magical arsenal. You'll find this scepter in chests scattered throughout the Sanctum Catacombs, especially in levels 1-6.

Marrow Bauble's shadow element gives you more options when planning strategies against enemies with specific weaknesses. If you're exploring deeper dungeons, this is a handy weapon to have on hand.

6 Iron scepter

Iron Scepter offers solid stats for its tier, making it one of the most reliable mid-game scepters. It's easy to get from Sally's Store at level 2, so you don't need to grind for it. Its combination of affordability and power makes it a popular choice among players looking for a simple weapon upgrade.

What stands out about the Iron Scepter is its versatility. It doesn't tie you to a specific element, so you can use it in a variety of scenarios. Whether you're dealing with mobs or bosses, this scepter gets the job done.

5 Demicrypt Bauble

The Demicrypt Bauble is another shadow element weapon, but with a notable jump in damage compared to the Marrow Bauble. Found in deeper parts of the Sanctum Catacombs, this scepter is a reliable choice for higher level dungeons. Its increased stats ensure you can take on tougher enemies while benefiting from the shadow element.

If you've been enjoying Marrow Bauble but need something stronger, this is the natural next step. It's a great tool for mystics who lean towards shadow damage.

4 Wizwand

The Wizwand is an outstanding weapon, not only because of its power, but also because of how you obtain it. This wand is created as part of the quests “Makin' a Wizwand” and “Makin' More Wizwands.” It's worth taking the time to complete these quests as the Wizwand is incredibly effective for mid to late game content.

What makes the Wizwand so special is its ability to adapt to different play styles. Its balanced stats allow you to experiment with different spellcasting combinations, making it a great choice for flexible players.

3 Nethercrypt Bauble

The Nethercrypt Bauble is a high damage scepter perfect for mystics who specialize in shadow spells. Its stats surpass previous shadow weapons, making it an important choice for late players. You can find it in the Sanctum Catacombs between levels 12-18.

This scepter's power lies in its ability to deliver consistently high damage. If you encounter enemies that resist your other elements, the Nethercrypt Bauble ensures you always have a backup plan.

2 Flamepetal staff

The Flamepetal Staff combines strong fire damage with wide utility, making it a great endgame staff. It's located in Crescent Grove, which makes it a little harder to get, but its high damage and fire element bonus make the effort worth it.

If you focus on fire-based spells, the Flamepetal staff takes your build to the next level. Its ability to dish out massive damage ensures it's a reliable tool for taking down tougher enemies and bosses.

1 Slime Diva Baton

​

The Slime Diva Baton is a rare baton with a shadow element, ideal for mystics looking to boost their magical power and critical speed. Its stats are tailored to improve a Mystic's combat effectiveness, especially against enemies vulnerable to shadow damage.

There are two ways to get the Slime Diva Baton:

1. Buy: Available at Skrits Sikrit Market in Effold Terrace for SEK 1,000.
2. Drop: Defeat Slime Divaa level 10 shadow elemental boss in Effold Terrace. To summon her, complete the “Diva Must Die” quest by defeating eight Slimeks in the eastern arena of Effold Terrace.
