Battlestaff

A Battlestaff is a reasonably strong weapon in terms of melee, plus having the advantage of boosting Magic. Mostly, though, it's useful in making elemental battlestaves. By using the appropriate (earth, water, fire, air) charge orb spell on an Obelisk with an uncharged orb in your inventory, you can make an elemental orb, which you can then attach to the top of the battlestaff. Then, you can take it to Thormac (if you've done Scorpion Catcher) to make a Mystic battlestaff for 40,000 coins.

Battlestaves can be bought from:


 * Baba Yaga's Magic Shop on Lunar Isle (20 in player's stock) - sells for 8334 coins, buys for 3850 coins
 * the Mage Training Arena
 * Zaff's Superior Staffs! in Varrock (right click Zaff and select purchase battlestaves) for 7,000 coins. The amount a player can purchase depends on how much progress has been made in the Varrock achievement diary and if  wearing Varrock armour.

The RuneScape day begins at 1:00AM GMT (8:00PM EST, 5:00PM PST). Players can maximize efficiency by buying Battlestaffs just before and just after the RuneScape day begins.

Before the Update:Shop Improvement on 2 October 2007, you could also buy them from Zaff's Superior Staffs! in Varrock, or from the magic store owner at the Wizards' Guild in Yanille.
