I'm still on my very first play through and have made it to the Crystal Caves. My problem is that I leaned heavily into sorcery and have been using the Moonlight Butterfly spear, and it appears that everything in the caves resists magic heavily (which I kind of expected). So I want a temporary weapon to deal with this area.
My offensive stats are Str: 16 Dex: 10 Int: 36. I've only found the large, enchanted, and divine embers. Is making a Raw weapon my best bet, since I won't be enjoying much scaling on anything that isn't enchanted?
