In the game “Avowed,” I found myself overwhelmed by the abundance of weapon options available. It can be challenging to decide where to begin. Although characters in Avowed aren’t restricted to a specific class, it’s wise to specialize your character in a particular direction to ensure your skill points are effectively utilized. For instance, if you want to play as a Wizard, you’ll still need weapons for reasons other than draining essence and to enhance your collection of spells.
As these are ‘early game’ weapons, we’ll be using the Dawntrail and Emerald Stair maps only.

Common Wand
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis, found around Dawntrail
| Feature | Value |
| Physical Damage | 11 |
| Stun | 8 |
| Stamina Cost | 12 |
| Critical Hit Chance | 6% |
In simpler terms, at the fundamental level, a wand functions like a gun that fires spells instead of bullets. Despite its low cost of 150 gold pieces and widespread availability, it outpaces bullet speed. Unlike a grimoire, it doesn’t deplete magical energy. However, even in the early stages of play, it represents only basic wizardry capabilities.

Common Grimoire Of Elements
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis, found around Dawntrail
| Spell | Effect |
| N/A | -20% Ability Cost -15% Cooldown |
| Fan of Flames | Creates a cone of Flames dealing damage over time |
| Chill Blades | Shoots Ice daggers |
| Jolting Touch | Shoots Shock bolts to enemies, jumps to other enemies |
| Arcane Veil | 20 second shield that makes spell casting uninterruptable and reduces damage by 50% |
The Common Elemental Grimoire, a weapon commonly used by Wizards, can be bought from Merylin in Paradis for 150 gold pieces or found in chests and on enemies in the Dawntrail region. This book is essential for Wizards because it allows them to access higher-level spells with the Grimoire Mastery skill. It contains the most basic elemental spells, but if you plan to continue as a Wizard, it’s recommended to specialize in elements as explained in our Wizard Skills guide.
9.
Common Grimoire of Greater Elements
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis, found around Dawntrail
| Spell | Effect |
| N/A | -20% Ability Cost -15% Cooldown |
| Fireball | Creates a fireball AoE |
| Blizzard | Creates an ice AoE |
| Crackling Bolt | Bounces Shock damage between three enemies |
| Bristling Frost | Protect yourself with frost for 10% damage reduction of Frost Accumulation for enemies |
Merylin offers The Enhanced Compendium of Greater Elements at a cost of 150 gold pieces, boasting stronger spells. Consequently, it presents a more advantageous purchase. However, to fully utilize its potential and master its spells, you must first enhance your Grimoire Expertise. While you can still use the compendium without this skill, you’ll only temporarily benefit from its spells until you acquire the necessary ability.
8.
Fine Grimoire of Elements
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis
| Spell | Effect |
| N/A | -42% Ability Cost -25% Cooldown |
| Fan of Flames | Creates a cone of Flames dealing damage over time |
| Chill Blades | Shoots Ice daggers |
| Jolting Touch | Shoots Shock bolts to enemies, jumps to other enemies |
| Arcane Veil | 20 second shield that makes spell casting uninterruptable and reduces damage by 50% |
Upgrading to the premium Grimoires enhances both spell casting ability and reduces cooldown times, which are crucial for a Wizard to maintain a steady flow of spells. However, considering the 3,000 gold piece price tag, this upgrade represents a significant investment. It is advisable to make this upgrade only if you have been frequently utilizing the basic version extensively.

Fine Grimoire of Greater Elements
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis
| Spell | Effect |
| N/A | -42% Ability Cost -25% Cooldown |
| Fireball | Creates a fireball AoE |
| Blizzard | Creates an ice AoE |
| Crackling Bolt | Bounces Shock damage between three enemies |
| Bristling Frost | Protect yourself with frost for 10% damage reduction of Frost Accumulation for enemies |
In simpler terms, the expense of 3,000 gold pieces might seem steep considering the value it provides, but this is especially true if you opt for the Common variant that can be upgraded. However, for wizards who have an abundance of gold, they will certainly appreciate the boost in the number of spells they can cast per minute.
6.
Fine Wand
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis
| Feature | Value |
| Physical Damage | 33 |
| Stun | 32 |
| Stamina Cost | 12 |
| Critical Hit Chance | 6% |
The variation among wands is more evident, especially since they provide a significantly greater damage output – think of them as magic firearms. Consequently, for users of wands who lack the means or time to create upgrades, spending 3,000 gold pieces in this case will yield immediate benefits.
5.
Beothel’s Grimoire
Purchase from Merlyn in Paradis
| Spell | Effect |
| N/A | -42% Ability Cost -25% Cooldown |
| Corosive Siphon | Deals Poison damage and heals you |
| Arcane Veil | 20 second shield that makes spell casting uninterruptable and reduces damage by 50% |
| Parasitic Staff | Summons a staff that recovers Essence on every hit |
| Blizzard | Creates an ice AoE |
Instead of the typical grimoires that primarily focus on elemental magic, this distinctive one provides entry to two captivating Level 1 spells for a Wizard, offering something unique. At 450 gold pieces, it’s a wise investment compared to the standard 300 gold piece offerings. The Corrosive Siphon spell stands out, as healing spells are scarce, and Giatta is more suited for this role than the player character. However, this spell allows you to inflict damage while healing, combining the best aspects of both worlds.

Minoletta’s Conduit
Purchase at Fior mes Iverno apothecary
| Feature | Value |
| Physical Damage | 39 |
| Stun | 32 |
| Stamina Cost | 12 |
| Critical Hit Chance | 6% |
| Charged Missile | +5% Attack damage +30% Maximum wand range |
| Shocking Lash | +10% Shock damage |
In the second significant city within the game, you will encounter a vendor offering an exceptional wand, which is among the finest Wizard weapons obtainable at this early stage. Although it’s somewhat costly at 3,780 gold, purchasing it provides a straightforward method to acquire a unique weapon without having to complete intricate quests, search for concealed treasures, or battle challenging foes. By the time you arrive in Fior mes Iverno, the price should be reasonable, and if you plan on using wand combat, Minoletta’s Conduit would be a valuable asset to have with you.
3.
Anything Else From Porrya & Vellino
Purchase at Fior mes Iverno apothecary
By waiting until you reach Porrya & Vellino, approximately a dozen hours in, it’s beneficial to have already chosen your Wizard specialty. At this shop for 3,000gp, they offer Fine Grimoires of Elements and Greater Elements, as well as Embers, Rime, Sparks, and Storms variants. For a higher price of 7,200gp, you can purchase the Exceptional versions of these grimoires, along with the Exceptional Wand that deals 55 Physical Damage with a 52 Stun, standard 12 Stamina Cost, and 6% Critical Hit chance.

Anextli’s Grimoire
Mountain pass north of Ivona’s Threshold in Dawnshore
| Spell | Effect |
| N/A | -28% Ability Cost -15% Cooldown |
| Fan of Flames | Creates a cone of Flames dealing damage over time |
| Arcane Veil | 20 second shield that makes spell casting uninterruptable and reduces damage by 50% |
| Grimoire Snap | Slams grimoire shut, dealing Explosive damage |
| Missile Salvo | Sends a sphere of enemy-seeking missiles into battle |
This magical book, or grimoire, empowers you to cast Level 10 spells (only one at a time though), boasting an exceptional variety of spells. For a wizard aiming to control the battlefield, this could be a decisive advantage. As you traverse Ivona’s Threshold, you’ll come across a mountain pass and detect a pyromancer conversing with himself. Upon reaching him, he will explode, inadvertently passing on his Grimoire to you. Despite its potentially perilous appearance, it’s relatively safe for you to possess.

Hidden inside a splendid treasure chest lies one of the finest Grimoires you can find during your journey. However, the path leading west is filled with skeletons and specters, but this isn’t associated with any specific bounty or mission. So, you can quickly grab it and leave if circumstances require.
