Battlestaff



A Battlestaff is a members-only staff, reasonably strong weapon in terms of melee, plus having the advantage of boosting Magic. It requires 30 Attack and Magic to wield. Mostly, though, it is useful in making elemental battlestaves. By using the appropriate (earth, water, fire, air) charge orb spell on an Obelisk with an Unpowered 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. Visually the battlestaff is identical to the staff, although the battlestaff holds better stats.

By purchase
Battlestaves can be bought from:


 * Baba Yaga's Magic Shop on Lunar Isle (20 in stock)
 * 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.
 * You can purchase up to 100 battlestaves every 4 hours on the Grand Exchange.

The RuneScape day begins at 00:00 GMT or 0000 UTC. Players can maximise 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.
