Does anyone know how to increase Spell DC, I'm currently level 16 it's showing 37.
Level up to level 17.
Get an Apex Item to bump your spellcasting ability score. So long as that's your spellcasting modifier (and unless you're using an archetype it almost certainly is), that will increase it by 1.
Otherwise no, not really. Boost your spellcasting ability score every chance you get.
Most casters also get another bump at 19 when they get Legendary proficiency.
Note that PF2 tends to be obvious in what you need to maximize your core stats under the assumption that most everyone will invest in those aspects. In this case it's all baked into your class chassis & casting stat with no necessary items other than an Apex one.
So yeah, the best tactic is to lower the saves of your enemies (or better yet, have a non-caster PC do it for the casters, most likely via Intimidate). There is one tricky item that can fly under the radar, the Shadow Signet, but it's for Spell Attacks which you probably don't use much, but if you do, buy it.

Also be a Remaster imperial sorcerer so you can bump your DCs with your focus spell.
This is misleading. ancestral memories gives a status penalty to the target's save, or a status bonus to attack. It doesn't increase your save DC, and there are lots of ways to give an enemy a status penalty to various saves, the only unique thing about the focus spell is that it does so without a check, for one spell, for the cost of both an action and a focus point.

True but not effectively much different to a bonus to spell DC. Especially when you consider how broad it is.
Next nearest thing is Dirge of Doom. It is only -1, but also no save/no roll and considered very very strong.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
For one spell casting only. Also the OP was asking for ways to boost spell DC, so they might be confused by someone claiming the focus spell does that. Debuffing enemy saves (and targeting low saves to begin with) is the best way in game to improve spell effects, but there are many ways to do so.
