'''Zaff''' is a salesman who owns [[Zaff's Superior Staves]] in the city of [[Varrock]] and tutor of [[Naff]]. He is located in his shop just north-west of [[Varrock]] centre. His shop is often visited because it is one of the few places that sells [[battlestaff|battlestaves]], the other being [[Baba Yaga]] on [[Lunar Isle]] and the [[Rewards Guardian]] in the [[Mage Training Arena]]. He is also heavily integrated in the [[What Lies Below]] quest. During the quest, you can summon him by using a [[beacon ring]] and [[Zaff's instructions]].

Zaff used to sell noted [[battlestaff|battlestaves]] for 7,000 coins each, which is nearly always cheaper than the [[Grand Exchange]] price of battlestaves. His apprentice, [[Naff]] who is in the same building as Zaff, now sells the battlestaves.

Zaff is secretly a member of the [[Varrock Palace Secret Guard]] (likely accounting for his shop's proximity to it), known to [[Rat Burgiss]], and it appears his proficiency at magic is far higher than many would presume, as it was he who possessed the Beacon and used a spell to counter [[Surok Magis|Surok]]'s mind control spell, disabling Surok's teleportation magic and imprisoning him in the library.

==Trivia==
*The [[Update:Dungeon maps and spam filter|update]] to remove member's only options from free-to-play NPCs on [[27 May]] [[2009]] also accidentally removed all of Zaff's options except "Examine".
*When Zaff used to sell battlestaves and you asked to purchase them, Zaff asked how many you wanted. If you said "0" or "9,999,999,999," he would take on a puzzled expression and said, "Um... right."
*Previously battlestaves were referred to as battlestaffs. This was changed in a hidden update.
*Prior to [[20 December]] [[2010]], Zaff did not have the "talk-to" option in free-to-play.
