I know this has probably been done to death but what are some good ways to boost spell DC?

I'm working on getting a stat boosting item but that could take some time so any suggestions?

Spell focus, greater spell focus, spell mastery (doubles both of the above for one spell) are the basics. Pick a race with a boost. Some sorcerer bloodlines get boosts too; fey for +2 on compulsion, there's another for +2 on charm, etc. I once built a lvl 1 sorcerer with Save DC 20 on sleep, for example.

Elemental focus and greater elemental focus. If you've been taking ranks in UMD, remember that your familiar shares your skill ranks, and have them activate a wand of arcane concordance, which as other benefits. It's spell perfection that doubles the bonus from feats for one specific spell. So spell perfection on a spell that is affected by spell focus, elemental focus, and the greater version of each, would get +8 to its DCs.

The Heighten Spell metamagic feat lets you increase a spell's level, including save DCs.

The Spellslinger archetype allows you to add the enhancement bonus of your firearm to DCs for cones, lines, rays, and ranged touch spells.

Sorry for the late response guys, thanks for all the help. IRL stuff got to me. Was hoping for something not quite as feat heavy but I suppose that will do. Thanks for all the help.
