This article is about battlestaves as a group. For the basic battlestaff, see
battlestaff.
Battlestaves are improved versions of regular staves designed to offer an increased accuracy rating to mages looking for more advanced magical weaponry. In the same way that their regular staff counterparts do, battlestaves provide an unlimited supply of runes according to their name (e.g. a fire battlestaff replaces the need for fire runes when it is equipped). The Elemental battlestaff is unique for being the only magic weapon that provides an unlimited supply of all four elemental runes.
Battlestaves require level 30 Magic to wield, with two exceptions: the Armadyl battlestaff requires 77 Magic and can also be used as an unlimited supply of air runes; a dragon battlestaff requires 60 Magic and completion of Birthright of the Dwarves.
Shade skulls, obtainable from gold chests in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame, may be attached to elemental battlestaves to alter their appearance. The stats of the battlestaff do not change.

- ^ Assumes that battlestaves are purchased from the Grand Exchange and that a Fire staff is used.
This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included - see here for how to help out!
- patch 4 December 2012 (Update):
- We've updated the tooltip on five battlestaves so they now state 40 magic instead of 30.
- patch 28 November 2012 (Update):
- An issue with the animation for crafting battlestaves has been fixed.
- Prior to the Evolution of Combat update, all varieties of battlestaves provided melee attack bonuses (specialising in crush) along with some defence bonuses. For this reason they required 30 Attack to wield alongside the current Magic level.
