Basic Staves

It is worth noting that, as these staves are intended for beginners, there are no requirements to wield them.

Even if you are starting out, you can still have an unlimited supply of certain runes through use of an elemental staff. Please remember the type of staff it is represents what runes you will NOT need (i.e. Staff of fire requires no fire runes)

Battlestaves

Battlestaves are stronger than normal staves, giving good bonuses so the staff can be used as a melee weapon. However, you will need 30 Attack and 30 Magic to wield any battlestaff. Please remember the type of staff it is represents what runes you will NOT need (i.e. Fire battlestaff requires no fire runes).

To find out how to make elemental battlestaves (air, earth, fire and water), read the Crafting - Elemental Battlestaves page.

Mystic Staves

If you would prefer to upgrade your battlestaff, you may wish to visit Thormac the Sorceror after completion of the Scorpion Catcher quest.

For 40,000 gold pieces, Thormac will upgrade your staff to 'mystic', which also means your Attack and Magic levels must be 40 to wield. Please remember the type of staff it is represents what runes you will NOT need (i.e. Mystic fire staff requires no fire runes).

Gravite and Chaotic Staves

Gravite and chaotic staves start at 20% charge. A fully recharged gravite or chaotic staff will last 10 hours in combat before it breaks. Once these charges have been used up, the staff can be recharged, for a fee, by the rewards trader. To do so, right-click on him, and select 'Recharge' with the depleted staff in your inventory.

There are two methods of recharging: cash, or a combination of cash and dungeoneering tokens. A cash repair will cost you up to 2 million gp (for a staff with no charge at all). A combination of cash and tokens will cost you up to 200,000 gp and a number of dungeoneering tokens (for a staff with no charge at all).
