Ancient staff

The Ancient staff is a useful staff that allows players to autocast Ancient Magicks. It requires 50 Attack and Magic to wield. This weapon can only be wielded after the Desert Treasure quest. A player can buy an Ancient staff after they have completed the Desert Treasure quest from Eblis, south of the bandit camp, for 80,000 coins. However, after a player has bought the staff from Eblis once it cannot be bought again, rather it is dropped by mummies in the pyramid (this only works when there is no Ancient staff in the bank, inventory, or equipped). It is also the only item with a negative prayer bonus. Another interesting thing to know is that when dropped on the ground, it looks smaller than when it is wielded (head too small).

Due to the release of the Fist of Guthix minigame, the demand of ancient staffs has skyrocketed, as players were able to cast high level ancient magicks spells such as Ice Barrage without paying for the runes, since they are obtained for free during the game, and the crowded nature of the game makes it more efficient to autocast the spells rather than cast them manually.

This staff is one-handed and has the symbol of Zaros as its head.
