In Baldur’s Gate 3, Staff of Arcane Blessing is a Quarterstaff that provides the fantastic Bless spell, and you can get it in Act 1 – this short Guide Explains everything you need to know about the Staff of Arcane Blessing in BG3.
The Staff of Arcane Blessing Baldur’s Gate 3
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Staff of Arcane Blessing is valuable in Act 1, particularly for characters utilizing quarterstaffs. This staff grants the wielder the “Bless” spell, a potent buff that significantly enhances damage output and combat accuracy. What sets the Staff of Arcane Blessing apart is its unique enchantment, Mystra’s Blessing. This enchantment adds an extra 1d4 to saving throws and weapon attack rolls and another 2d4 to spell attack rolls. This enhancement not only amplifies the effectiveness of the “Bless” spell but also elevates the overall damage potential of the wielder and their party.
You can equip it to your character’s main hand weapon slot in the inventory, providing additional bonuses and buffs. The user needs Simple weapon proficiency or suffers penalties while wearing the weapon. You can equip it on any class, companion, or character with Simple Weapon Proficiency.
In Arcane Tower, you’ll find many other great items. Still, you must get the Guiding Light and unlock the basement in the Arcane Tower Basement, where you can find other fantastic items such as Light of Creation, The Sparkswall, and Uncovered Mysteries.

How to Get Staff of Arcane Blessing in Baldur’s Gate 3
To get the Staff of Arcane Blessing, you must first enter the Underdark. There are a few entrances, including trying the Shattered Sanctum and Auntie Ethel’s house, but I’ll quickly explain how to get there through the Whispering Depths underneath Blighted Village. You’ll need the potion, scroll, or spell of Feather Fall, so ensure you have one before proceeding.
Find the Underdark
Set your course west from Emerald Grove, and you’ll easily find the Blighted Village and a well in the middle. You must pass an Investigation skill check of 10 DC, to use it and climb down to the Whispering Depths. Inside the cave system, there are giant Spiders and Spider Matriarchs (X: -543 Y: -366). You must defeat them first, so we advise you to reach at least level 3 so you’ll have no problem with the fight and surviving in the Underdark.
Once you are ready and defeated the spiders, you need to jump down the big tunnel (X: -543 Y: -366) leading straight down to the Underdark, and that’s when you need the Feather Fall spell. Use it so you won’t take any fall damage. In the Underdark, you must find the Arcane Tower. For a detailed description of how to find Underdark, defeat Bernard, or solve it peacefully, and how to unlock the Arcane Tower Basement, please check out the Arcane Tower guide.
