''This article refers to battlestaves as a group. For the article about the basic battlestaff see [[Battlestaff]].''<br />
<br />
'''Battlestaves''' are combined [[melee]] and [[magic]]al weapons which can be used in [[combat]] and in spell casting. Their strongest style of melee attack is crushing, although they also confer defensive bonuses.<br />
<br />
On top of their melee capabilities, battlestaves provide an unlimited supply of runes according to their name (''i.e. a [[Fire battlestaff]] replaces the need for fire runes when it is equipped''). There are no Mist, Dust or Smoke Battlestaves, purposed to prevent market crash, because if these staves exist, no elemental runes would be needed to cast most of the combat spells, as these three would give unlimited air runes, which most combat spells require.<br />
<br />
With the exception of the [[Battlestaff|basic battlestaff]], battlestaves require level 30 [[attack]] and [[magic]] to wield. [[Battlestaff|Basic battlestaves]] have no requirements to wield. The basic version used to be sold by [[Zaff]] in [[Varrock]]. His apprentice, [[Naff]] now sells them in his store, [[Naff's Knockoff Staves]]. The supply is increased as players achieve higher levels of [[Varrock armour]]. Also, after completing [[Lunar Diplomacy]], you can buy 20 battlestaves per day from [[Baba Yaga]] on [[Lunar Isle]]. This is a good way to make money daily, as [[Naff]] sells them at 7,000 each, and they can be sold on the [[Grand Exchange]] for more. Since [[11 April]] [[2012]] it is possible to get a [[strange rock]] by creating battlestaves.<br />
<br />
The [[Armadyl battlestaff]] can also be used as an unlimited supply of air runes, whilst also speeding up the [[Storm of Armadyl]] cast rate, making it the only staff which can affect the speed at which spells are cast. <br />
