Enshrouded: Best Wands, Ranked
Key Takeaways
Table of Contents
- Enshrouded offers two types of mage weapons: staffs and wands, each with unique features for different playstyles.
- Some of the best wands in Enshrouded include the Apprentice Wand, Snakespide Wand, and Shocking Ice Wand.
- The Ritual Tempest Wand stands out as a high-damage weapon with superior overcharge and durability for mage characters.
Enshrouded is an action roleplaying game that launched at the start of 2024. With a huge, completely hand-crafted map, it received praise for its attention to detail and long-term playability. With deep, exploration-driven gameplay, Enshrouded offers the player freedom to adventure in a sandbox world, with just enough in the way of signpost quests to loosely guide them through the map.
There are two types of mage weapons in Enshrouded: staffs and wands. Staffs are hard-hitting, two-handed weapons that consume charges as ammo. Wands are one-handed, auto-targeting ranged weapons that require no ammo at all. Playing a mage character is a solid solo build. For mage characters, using a wand frees up the offhand to carry a shield for added defense. Here are some of the best to choose from.

Enshrouded: Best Healer Skills
Players looking to buff their chances of survival in Enshrouded need not look further than some of the game’s best healer skills.
Updated on December 9, 2024, by Mac Wheeler:Since this original list was published, there have been a number of updates to Enshrouded, resulting in changes to the loot table. Furthermore, as time has passed, players have learned more about loot tables and loot patterns, finding new items and places to loot them. Therefore, this list has been updated to add some more wands. The higher-tier wands have not changed, what has been added are some mid-game wands, that are easy to loot and can work well until a player can safely access the late-game areas of the map.
11 Wand
Basic Wand Available From The Start Of The Game
- Damage: 11
- Mana regen: 1
- Overcharge: 10%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 150
- Crafting requirements: 2 Bones
Why is the wand with the worst stats in the game on a list of the best wands? For one reason: Everyone can craft and use this wand from the very first minutes of a playthrough. New players often struggle in melee combat until they have basic gear. Having this wand on their button bar gives them instant access to a ranged weapon with unlimited ammo.

Enshrouded: Best Tank Skills
The Tank’s job in Enshrouded is to take as much damage as possible without dying. These perks make that tall order a little easier.
The 2 bones needed to craft this wand can be lured from the bodies of wolves, which the player can kill that spawn in multiple locations very close to the starting area. It may not be the best wand, but it’s worth a mention because it offers so much early-game utility.
10 Apprentice Wand
An Easy To Loot Wand In The Early Game
- Damage: 14
- Mana regen: 2
- Overcharge: 10%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 250
The Apprentice Wand makes this list primarily because it is one of the few wands available in the early game. It should be simple to loot from POI chests, using the game reload trick to respawn the chest over and over. There are much better wands in Enshrouded, but not until later in the game.
This is also another great wand for melee and tank builds to carry as a backup ranged weapon. Most players will pick this wand up as loot at some stage in the early to mid-game, as it is a common item.
9 Snakespide Wand
A Rare Blunt Damage Wand
- Damage: 31
- Manage regen: 1
- Overcharge: 13%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 170
Enshrouded players can find the Snakespide Wand in its legendary iteration, by looting chests in the Hollow Halls. It can also drop from bosses sometimes. And while the damage stats are quite low, along with overcharge and durability, it does do blunt damage, which is rare for a wand or staff weapon.
Arguably the best way to acquire this wand is to save scum, by finding a golden chest in the Hollow Halls then saving and reloading the game until the Snakespide Wand is found in the loot.
8 Shocking Ice Wand
Easy To Aquire Shock And Ice Wand
- Damage: 31
- Manage regen: 1
- Overcharge: 14%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 160
The Shocking Ice Wand is pretty easy to get hold of for Enshrouded players, at least once they have gotten a little way into a playthrough. This is because it can be looted as a legendary weapon from gold chests in three regions of the map; Kindlewastes, Noman Highlands, and Revelwoods.
The wand does two types of damage, shock and ice. The stats are not on par with later entries on this list, but it is a decent enough wand for players who don’t have access to endgame map zones yet.
7 Silver Storm
Slightly Better Shock And Ice Wand
- Damage: 31
- Manage regen: 1
- Overcharge: 16%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 170
The Silver Storm wand is comparable to the previous entry in this list, the Shocking Ice Wand. It has a slightly better overcharge. However, this wand is looted from exactly the same locations as the previous wand, so the best advice would be to keep whichever is looted first, as this wand is only marginally better.
Once again, this wand can be looted from gold chests in the Revelwoods, Nomad Highlands, and Kindlewastes areas of the map. It can also spawn in silver chests, as a non-legendary item.
6 Blazing Wand
Great Mid Game Fire Damage Wand
- Damage: 31
- Manage regen: 1
- Overcharge: 17%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 180
The Blazing Wand is another wand that can be looted in the mid-game stage of Enshrouded, and it is found in the same places as the last two wands, the Kindlewastes, Revelwoods, and Nomad Highlands maps zones.
With its slightly better overcharge and the beneficial fire damage type, this is a solid mid-game wand that can be used as a main weapon. However, it must be said that the fairly low durability will mean the player will likely want to carry a backup weapon as well, for when this wand breaks.
5 Scorching Wand
Mid-Game Static Loot Legendary Wand
- Damage: 47
- Mana regen: 1
- Overcharge: 11%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 250
The Scorching Wand is likely to be the wand that players will go after mid-game, as it is a static loot item in an easy-to-locate place. It lags behind other legendary wands in the stats department but will last the player until they can loot a better wand later.
Head to the Kindlewastes region, and look for the City Ruins POI. Within this POI the player will find a flat decked area, with barrels and boxes stacked on it. A golden chest here contains the Scorching Wand.
4 Frozen Core Wand
Guaranteed Static Loot Legendary Wand
- Damage: 47
- Mana regen: 2
- Overcharge: 11%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 250
The Frozen Core Wand is the first legendary item on this list, and it is notable because it is so easy to get. Players who are doing the quest to locate and free the Alchemist NPC should consider stopping off to get this wand afterward.

Enshrouded: Best Ranger Skills
The Ranger class is an incredibly powerful class in Enshrouded. Those looking to make the most of it should use these skills.
To acquire this wand, go to the obelisk close to the Alchemist’s location. There is a cliff to the north. Jump off it and use the glider to glide down to the dirt track below. Follow this track to the Scavenger Ruins. Clear all the enemies, then head inside and go downstairs. There are some wooden boards blocking access to a bridge. Destroy these boards, then head across the bridge to loot the Frozen Core Wand from the chest. Once the wand is looted, a slow spike trap triggers on the bridge, so get out quickly.
3 Helix
Chest Loot Wand Found In The Kindlewastes Region
- Damage: 47
- Mana regen: 1
- Overcharge: 19%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
The Helix is a powerful legendary wand. With 19% overcharge power, it does excellent levels of damage. Once fully upgraded, it will do an additional 45 Shroud Magic damage. This weapon is not only great for mages but is also arguably the best backup wand weapon for all players, regardless of their specialization.
Unfortunately, the Helix wand can only be looted from golden chests in the Kindlewastes region of the map. This means it will take some time and effort to loot, even using the game reload trick to respawn chests. Make sure to take plenty of lockpicks when going after this wand.
2 Luminous Wand
A Good Wand Looted From Several Zones
- Damage: 47
- Mana regen: 1
- Overcharge: 13%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 260
The Luminous Wand is another contender for the best wand in Enshrouded. As should now be apparent, there is not a huge amount of variation in weapons in this game. What really shapes weapons in Enshrouded is how the player upgrades them.

Enshrouded: Best Wizard Skills
Wizard is one of the most powerful classes in Enshrouded, and for players who choose this route, these are the best skills to pick.
Players can loot the Luminous Wand from golden chests in quite a few areas. It has been found in the Nomad Highlands, the Kindlewastes, and inside the Alchemist’s tower south of Revelwood. Players can loot it using the load/respawn trick, but it may take some time, depending on the luck of the draw when the chests respawn.
1 Ritual Tempest Wand
High Damage With Excellent Durability
- Damage: 47
- Manage regen: 1
- Overcharge: 20%
- Attack speed: 0.6 seconds
- Durability: 300
The Ritual Tempest Wand is an excellent, high-damage weapon for mages in Enshrouded. With a whopping 20% overcharge bonus, it can decimate enemies at range, when used properly. It deserves its place at the top of this list for this reason.
Looting the Ritual Tempest Wand is pretty straightforward, as it is found in the same golden chests where players can loot the Wolf’s Snarl Longbow. Head to the Nomad Highlands and locate the spire. Jump off the southwest of the tower, glide down to the ground below, and then start looking for the golden chest. Use the reload/respawn trick until the desired wand appears.
