The augmented fractured Staff of Armadyl (Third Age) is a fractured Staff of Armadyl that has been augmented and dyed - it is otherwise the same as the undyed variant. It can be made by using an augmentor on a fractured Staff of Armadyl (Third Age), or by using a Third Age dye on a fractured Staff of Armadyl.

Disassembling augmented dyed items does not return the dye. Dying in unsafe player-versus-player combat with this item drops a broken fractured Staff of Armadyl – the dye, augmentor, and gizmos are lost.

Regular and ancient weapon gizmos charged with perks can be used to enhance this item's abilities. As a two-handed slot item, this item can hold 2 gizmos, allowing up to 4 perks (2 perks each).

Using this item in combat can gain experience to increase its level. Levelling the item has various effects such as improving the experience and materials gained for disassembling it.

This item uses charges stored in the universal charge pack. When the charge pack runs out of charges, the item loses stats and gizmo effects and can no longer gain any equipment experience. Full functionality will resume when the pack is recharged with divine charges.

Special attack

Instability is the special attack of the fractured Staff of Armadyl. It costs 50% adrenaline, strikes the opponent for 120-140% ability damage, and has a 60 second cooldown between uses.

Additionally, activating the special attack grants the Instability buff for 30 seconds. While this buff is active, landing a Magic critical strike on the primary target will also fire a Lightning Surge, dealing 70%-90% ability damage and landing 1 game tick after the source hit. If the Lightning Surge lands as a critical strike, it will not generate further hits as to prevent a recursive effect.

The effect only works when using magic weapons (unequipping the staff does not remove the self-buff); while switching to non-magic weapons does not remove the buff timer, the special attack will not create additional attacks from non-magic critical strikes.

To maximise the usage of the special attack, players should increase the maximum critical strike chance possible in order to obtain these additional hits. The highest possible bonus requires using a Kal'gerion demon's scroll (Crit-i-Kal), an active Erethdor's grimoire, the Biting 4 perk, Channeller's ring or reaver's ring, and a set of elite tectonic or Tumeken's resplendence equipment (while in Sunshine). Using channelled abilities such as Concentrated Blast (or its greater variant while it is buffed by Runic Charge) and Smoke Tendrils allows for increased critical strike chance.

Channellers' ring is better than reaver's when using channelled abilities, while reaver's is better if accuracy is not an issue and using non-channelled abilities.

The special attack does not grant its critical strike effect in PvP scenarios but does not go on cooldown either.

Calculations

The expected damage for any single source hit while under the effect of Instability can be found by calculating

$E = (1 - p) \cdot S_{non-crit} + p \cdot (S_{crit} + T)$

where

$E$ is the expected damage from the combined damage of the source hit and Lightning Surge hit
$p$ is the probability of the source hit landing as a critical strike
$S_{non-crit}$ is the damage from the source hit if it does not land as a critical strike
$S_{crit}$ is the damage from the source hit if it does land as a critical strike
$T$ is the damage from the Lightning Surge hit

A calculator for finding the probability of an ability or an auto-attack to land a critical strike can be found here: Calculator:Combat/Critical strike.

Passive effect

Surging Storm is the weapon passive effect of the fractured Staff of Armadyl.

This effect additively increases critical strike damage by 15%–25% (the in-game tooltip incorrectly states the minimum as 10%) for attacks cast with the fractured Staff of Armadyl. The distinct damage values are found in 0.1% intervals.

Surging Storm does not respect max hit mode on training dummies.
