The earliest one that can be found is in Liurnia of the Lakes, although there are far more of them near Fort Laiedd in Volcano Manor or in the Mountaintops of the Giants.

If you don’t mind having such limited options, or want to include a couple Sorceries in your Faith build, you can farm the Staff of the Guilty from the Thorn Sorcerers wielding blazing staffs. When using double Staffs of the Guilty to stack their buffs, along with Alberich’s Set - which also buffs those Sorceries - you can get decent damage out of them, but it’s usually not worth limiting yourself so much. But that comes at the cost of dealing damage to yourself when you cast them. Staff of the Guilty buffs these Sorceries by 20 percent, and they have innate Bleed buildup, which is always nice.

This problem is compounded by the fact that there are only two Sorceries that scale exclusively with Faith: Briars of Punishment and Briars of Sin. It scales exclusively with Faith, but will deal far less damage than the high-tier Staves that use Intelligence.

The Staff of the Guilty is an extremely unusual weapon.
