Talk:Polypore staff

Stats from Grand Exchange:atk: stab = 50 slash = 60 magic = 20 def: slash = 3 crush = 2 magic = 20 str: 55 magic damage: 13% prayer: +5 -L.gust

Can Farming level be boosted (or other stats) to make the staff?

This item is NOT lendable. Please fix.

Can be partially recharged with 5 fire runes and 1 of the moss stuff, per charge.

Max hit
I doubt the staff can hit 950 on a slayer task.

Having been fighting with Ahrims robe top and legs, polypore staff, mage's book, infinity boots, arcane stream and wolpertinger boosts I didn't see myself hit over 510.

Sounds like someones trying to raise the price?

 * No idea, but I changed it to 510 for you. 18:59, November 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was off task, so I've removed the bit about slayer task. Lacesso 19:05, November 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * My max Hit with arcane stream necklace and wolpertinger was 519 (no slay task)

The animal staves have a higher prayer bonus than this staff at +6, so i'm removing that part about having the best prayer bonus from the article.Mofo Pr0 00:38, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

This article is unclear
Does the staff unlock the use of a new spell? If not, does it save runes when used with other spells? -- 04:23, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

It is a spell that is used while the staff is equipped. Rather than inside a spellbook, it's activated the same way that a player attacks with melee or ranged. Elysian Aura 04:29, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * What's the spell called, and if we don't have an article on it, why not? -- 04:30, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I just bought a staff. It doesn't unlock an actual spell, like Fire Surge or Magic Dart. No runes used; apparently it expends its spore charges to cast. It can do Accurate or Longranged, which give Magic and Magic + Defence XP respectively. -- 04:42, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've tested the staff a bit, and I'm adding what I've observed to the article. So far I am extremely impressed with what I've seen. -- 04:54, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Extremely overpowered, you mean. --Void Knight 05:30, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Magic has needed something "overpowered" for a long time, and this staff actually makes it a viable combat style for Slayer. I don't see this as a bad thing at all. -- 09:13, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I like using magic combat and has longed to see a spell that relies on a staff rather than runes, but I think it would be better to have something that makes maging more useful in general. I think this is going to render normal spells obsolete except for a few situations. --Void Knight 10:22, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * How exactly does this staff not make maging more useful in general? It hits harder, it's more accurate, and it's significantly more cost-effective than conventional spells. -- 11:16, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Save it for the forums guys. Also, you gotta remember it's only useful to those mages that are already overpowered thanks to the 80 Magic requirement. Kingofdanerds 17:31, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
