Attack Type: Crush
Fast for: Mage, Cleric, Shapeshifter Viable for: Everyone else
Uniques : Glimmer, Staff of Azakath, Oaken Staff
  • Pros: Common, fairly versatile, lots of special effects
  • Cons: Damage somewhat lacking
  • High End Choices: For mages still learning spells, Glimmer is the single best item in the game. Azakath and Tetsubo are also good for those mages and necromancers with the skills and strength for them. Iron shod a good generic high end. Staff of Tarran is very good damage and also gives AC. Then there is the chain-staff document, but needs two weapon to use.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Chain-staff works on two-weapon some, otherwise black staff from the yeti caves is light and gives +1 to dex.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-15 Crooked staff (2handed) from Belob, Strong branch (1h) from outside Ravel, light staff (1h) from Fredd's shop in Tantallon
  • 15-30 Old staff (2h) from Drow mage in Drow Caverns, Quarterstaff (1h) from smiling citizen in Nepeth
  • 30-50 Snake Staff (1h) from Drakhyra.
  • 40-60 Pine staff (1handed) from Academy (Diam), Elven Quarterstaff (1h) from Elven Defence Forces(Illarin), Staff of Protection (1h) from Iceforge(Hetdus)
  • 50-70 White iron stick (1h) from Zernak in Ravel, Iron shod staff (2h) from Jush.
  • 60-100 Staff of Azakath from Mount Kresh, Tetsubo from Zhammar, Carved Staff from lizard village.
  • 80-100 Staff of Tarran (1h or 2h) from Iceforge(Hetdus), Chain Staff (2h) document weapon
