The '''Staff''' is the weakest, most basic [[magic]] weapon in ''[[RuneScape]]''. Visually, the staff is identical to the [[battlestaff]] and the [[Dramen staff]]. It is recommended to upgrade from this weapon as quickly as possible, as there are better weapons which can be used at the same level. The recommended upgrade is to an [[elemental staff]], such as a [[Staff of air]] which will assist greatly in magic training.

==History==
Previously, one advantage of a [[Combat classes#Mage|mage]] wielding a staff was that it would unlock the [[autocast]]ing feature, allowing the player to set the default attack to one of the 16 elemental spells (as opposed to manually selecting the spell '''and''' target with every single cast). On 2 September 2009, due to widespread popular demand, the [[autocast]]ing feature was updated so that it no longer requires a staff to use.
