Runescape Staff Crafting Guide

A proper staff is necessary for a spell caster to complete his arcane image in any mmorpg. This is as true in Runescape as it is in other fantasy settings

The mage look in an mmorpg is not complete without a staff and a pointy hat. Runescape characters have easy access to pointed hats, but have an advantage if they can make an elmental battlestaff using the crafting trade skill.

A Runescape character can buy the pointy hat, but a true player and one who believes in having a well-rounded character for role-playing reasons should craft his staff. Just remember to follow the advice of Discworld author Terry Pratchett and make sure to put a knob on the end of any staff made using the crafting skill.

Materials Needed for Elemental and Mystic Staff Crafting in Runescape
Free members are out of luck if they want to craft a stylish staff on their own. They must rely on paid members to do it, but paid members still need to gahter the necessary materails to make mystic staffs with their crafting skill. A Runescape character needs to gather the following item before he can begin crafting a staff.

A Battlestaff from a vendor
An Unpowered Orb
3 Cosmic Runes
30 Runes of the type of staff the character wants to make
A High Crafting Skill
Start Elmental Staff Crafting at Skill Level 54
Runescape staff crafting is not something to start raising your crafting skill level with. Weilding an elemental staff or a mystic staff effectively requires a high magic skill, according to the Runescape tips websites. Any staff crafting process in Runescape begins with the purchase of a battlestaff from a non-player character vendor.

The number of staves a person can make in a single day is limited to how many staves the people who operate the required shops in Runescape sell them for. The lower limit starts out at 8 and caps out at 64.

When a Runescape character assembles and comiples the necessary ingrients, he becomes the proud owner of a new elemental battlestaff. The staff is good, but the best stats are obtained by enchanting the elmental battle staff at the residence of Thromac the sorceror.

Finish the Crafting Attempt by Creating a Mystic Battlestaff
The elemental staff is a bold fashion statement for any Runescape mage, but true greatness is not achieved until the staff is enchanted by a sorceror to have the best possible combat stats. A crafting character cannot just find a sorceror character to have it enchanted, he must seek out an NPC that lives in a tower, in the grand tradion of fantasy cliches.

Thormac the sorceror resides in Catherby. The Runescape crafting character willing to make the trip and climb up the long steps can find him there. Thormac will enchant an elemental staff for th reasonable price of 40,000 gold pieces. The finished product becomes a mystic battlestaff, and the enchanting process improves the crafted staff's melee stats.
