The full Elder Armor set is also a very powerful option for a Wizard, but it’s a pretty tough set to get since it only drops from vanquishing enemies.

Best Wizard weapons in Enshrouded

As a Wizard, you’re going to want to stick to using either a wand or staff. You might also benefit from having both on hand at all times, especially since staffs require you to craft Staff Charges.

Wands are always ready to go and deal moderate damage, while staffs only work when you have crafted ammo to fuel them but dish out a lot more damage, so there are benefits and drawbacks to both.

Here are all of the best weapons you can use as a Wizard. The exact statistics of your weapon will vary slightly depending on what level you are when you come across it, so you could easily come across a fairly bad version of any of the best weapons for a Wizard.
