Where can I get a good Staff

[Ranked Opponent]

I main sorceries, no hexes or miracles. I'm still using my +3 Bone Staff... I'm up to the Grym Cave, where can I get a better Staff?

There is only 1 staff that you should aim to get as sorcerer

Staff of wisdom

Don't be ridiculous. OP said that he's in Doors of Pharros, not Dragon Shrine.

Otherwise, early game, you shouldn't be using the Bone Staff. That stave is trash for sorceries as it's mainly a hex dedicated staff. I'd suggest using the Archdrake Staff infused with magic, because it's got decent sorcery stats despite being a hex staff. It requires you to have 15 INT to use, however.

There's also the Lizard Staff, which is dropped by the necromancers in the Executioner Chariot boss fight, but it's extremely rare. However, it's undisputedly the best sorcery staff up until you reach Shrine of Amana.

If you don't want to farm necros or invest points into FTH, then I'd suggest using the starting Sorcerer's Staff, which is decent for INT builds, or the Witchtree Branch, which is just like the Sorcerer's Staff but has a nice cast time.

Once you get through Drangleic Castle, Staff of Amana isnt an awful upgrade before Staff of Wisdom

I would take any of the best staff I can carry which can be upgraded without rare elements and just rush to staff of wisdom ... That is actually what I did as a sorcerer ...

All the good staffs only become available at the end of the game.

The best way to play sorcerer is to actually play monk and respec. All bosses are so much easier with lightning ...
