Staff of light


 * "Sol" redirects here. For the Dungeoneering reward, see scroll of life.

The staff of light is a one-handed staff that requires 75 Magic and 75 Attack to wield. It is obtained as a unique drop from ice strykewyrms, which require 93 Slayer to kill.

The staff of light features a number of properties that are very useful to mages: (A fully trained Ivandis Flail has a magic attack bonus of +56, but requires a large amount of effort to achieve. This bonus only exists when fighting Vyrewatch.)
 * It boosts Magic damage by 15%, the second largest boost in the game after the chaotic staff's 20% boost.
 * When a combat spell is cast with the staff, there is a 1/8 (12.5%) chance that the staff will negate the rune cost for that spell. This chance increases to 20% when wearing combat robes, and 50% when wearing battle robes.
 * The staff of light can be used instead of a slayer staff to cast Magic Dart.
 * It has the fourth highest Magic attack bonus among non-Dungeoneering staves at +17, behind Zuriel's staff and Chaotic staff (+18) and the master wand (+20).
 * The staff has a special attack, called Power of Light, that envelopes the user in a shield of light which will reduce all melee damage by 50% for one minute. (Verac the Defiled has a chance to hit full damage through the special.) The special attack uses 100% of the bar, and the effect will run out if the staff of light is unequipped before the minute is up.

The staff of light is also notable for its offensive melee stats, which are unusually high for a Magic weapon. Its stats are comparable, though superior to, the dragon scimitar and dragon longsword, and it is the third strongest (meaning strength bonus) (behind the abyssal whip and dragon battleaxe) and joint second most slash-accurate (behind the abyssal whip and joint with the dragon battleaxe) one-handed non-degrading weapon in the game.

Trivia

 * The drop rate is the same as that of an Abyssal whip from an Abyssal demon.
 * Since this is (primarily) a staff, it's one of two staffs that has a special attack - making it quite unique!
