Mystic steam staff

Beta  The Mystic steam staff is the most powerful steam elemental staff. It requires 40 Attack and Magic to wield. It provides an unlimited amount of water and fire runes. To create one, a player must take a Steam battlestaff to Thormac after completing the Scorpion Catcher quest, along with 40,000 coins, 27,000 with the Seers' headband 3. That gives it additional 12 crush attack points, and 15 strength points.

The steam battlestaff was released on 28 August 2007 as part of the God Wars Dungeon update. The staff used to look no different to an Air staff apart from that it had a very slight blue tint to it. but an update has changed the appearance of the staff to look more unique.l

Since the release of Dungeoneering, the Tome of frost provides an alternative method of supplying water runes, and it can be used in conjunction with other staves to provide a different combination of runes (including fire). The Tome of frost requires a Dungeoneering level of 48 and 43,000 tokens. Due to the EOC it is no longer possible to equip an elemental staff with a tome of frost due to staves being made two-handed.

With 85 Crafting, players may attach a shade skull to the Mystic steam staff, creating a Necromancer's steam staff.
