Staves are Magic weapons that have the ability to autocast spells. Elemental staves are unlimited sources of certain runes depending on the element of the staff, and are popular because they save coins otherwise spent on runes.

All staves give Magic attack bonuses as well as mediocre melee attack bonuses. Battlestaves are upgraded versions of normal staves with slightly better melee bonuses. Mystic staves are enchanted battlestaves that have equal Magic attack bonuses with battlestaves and even better melee attack bonuses.

Basic staves have no requirements to wield. Others may have specific requirements, like the completion of quests or certain skill requirements.

Some staves are required to cast certain spells. Examples of this are the slayer staff, which casts the Magic Dart spell, and Iban's staff, which is required to cast the Iban Blast spell.

The toxic staff of the dead has an attack speed of 6, compared to an attack speed of 5 on other staves.
