A detailed view of the Mud battlestaff.

A Mud battlestaff is a medium power mud elemental staff. It is the weaker version of a Mystic mud staff. It requires 30 Attack and Magic to wield and provides an unlimited amount of water and earth runes, both of which are used in curse spells. Earth and water runes are also used together in the Enchant Level 5 Jewellery spell, Bones to Bananas/Peaches Spell, and the String Jewellery Lunar Spell. A mud battlestaff can be upgraded to a mystic mud staff by Thormac for 40,000 coins after completing the Scorpion Catcher quest, or for 27,000 coins while wearing a Seers' headband 3. Mud battlestaves are dropped exclusively by Dagannoth Prime. The mud battlestaff has a noticeably different appearance compared to the other battlestaves, as well as not having an orb on top of the staff. This is the second released hybrid elemental staff, released before the Steam battlestaff and after the Lava battlestaff. Visually, the mud battlestaff is identical to the mystic mud staff.

Since the release of Dungeoneering, the Tome of frost provides a cheaper alternative than a mud battlestaff and can be used in conjunction with other staves to provide a different combination of runes. Although, they require at least 48 dungeoneering, 43,000 tokens, and it takes up two hand slots instead of one.

Trivia

• The appearance of the staff is similar to Gandalf's staff in The Lord of the Rings.
• One explanation to this staff's unique appearance is that the combined elemental energies of water and earth contained within it caused the wood of the staff to continue to grow as if it were still part of a tree.
