Zaff

Zaff is a NPC who owns Zaff's Superior Staves in the city of Varrock. He is located in his shop just north-west of Varrock centre. He is often visited because he is one of the only NPCs that sells Battlestaffs, the other being Baba Yaga on Lunar Isle. He is also heavily integrated in the What Lies Below quest. During the quest, you can summon him by using a beacon ring and Zaff's instructions.

Zaff sells battlestaves for 7,000 coins each, which is cheaper than the Grand Exchange price of battlestaves. Players can make a profit if they buy Battlestaves from Zaff and then afterwards, selling it in the Grand Exchange. Depending on the level of Varrock armour the player is wearing, he will sell the player a certain number of battlestaves daily (updating at 1 am GMT), up to 64 with Varrock armour 3. The battlestaves, when purchased, are noted. Many players sell them to the Grand Exchange for a quick profit or save them later for making elemental battlestaves.





Trivia

 * On 17 March 2009, battlestaves bought from Zaff would be in noted form. A hidden update that day changed this.
 * With the Update:Dungeon maps and spam filter update on May 27,2009, Zaff was found to only have an examine option, with no trade, talk, or buy battlestaves options. However, if a free player closed, then reopened the door (or just opened the door), it would offer the option for them to buy one of "Zaff's Superior Staffs". This has since been fixed.
 * At the beginning of 2009 Zaff appeared in the Grand Exchange because of a glitch. This has been fixed.
