The crystal staff is a crystal weapon released with the first part of Prifddinas. It is a two-handed Magic weapon that requires level 70 Magic, level 50 Agility, and completion of Roving Elves to wield. It has equal bonuses to Ahrim's staff.
With level 75 Smithing, using 750 harmonic dust, and requiring The Eyes of Glouphrie quest to make one at the crystal singing bowl in the Ithell Clan district of Prifddinas (giving 750 Smithing experience).
The number of coins needed to create (and repair) is based on the number of times a crystal weapon/armour seed has been made into an item for coins - the cost is shared over all crystal weapons and shields. The first time costs 1,000,000 coins, and each subsequent creation costs 200,000 less until the fifth time (and every time thereafter), when it costs 200,000 coins.
The crystal staff will revert to seed after 50,000 charges of combat, but uses two charges per hit except while within Prifddinas, where it uses one charge per hit. A partially degraded staff can be recharged for a fraction of your current creation cost - if it has 90% charges remaining, and the lowest creation price has been achieved, it would cost 20,000 coins to repair.
Crystal items are guaranteed to give a special component. They will either give 1 crystal part (common), 1 Seren component (uncommon), or 1 Faceted component (uncommon).
