The Inquisitor staff is a tier 80 staff; however, it performs as a tier 97[1] staff against melee classed enemies. The components are obtained from Archaeology, requiring a minimum level of 114 (boostable) in order to be created due to the praetorian staff's requirement. However, the staff is tradeable and may be purchased from the Grand Exchange or other players. It can be used without the Archaeology requirement needed to obtain components. It also requires a Runecrafting level of 93 to be assembled. The staff can be augmented using an augmentor, creating the augmented Inquisitor staff. This weapon is the magic equivalent of the terrasaur maul and hexhunter bow. The inquisitor staff gives no boost against other players in the Wilderness.
It has two passive effects which can appear as a debuff on the target being affected by the buff:
- +12.5% damage boost against melee-classed enemies.
- +10% hit chance boost against melee-classed enemies.
This item degrades to a broken, repairable state over 60,000 charges of combat. The base repair cost is 2,000,000 coins for a full repair, which is scaled to how damaged it is. It can be repaired by a Repair NPC, or for cheaper on an armour stand/whetstone.
When on the normal spellbook, Air Wave can be used instead of Air Surge as the staff is classed as a tier 80 weapon and the spell damage of Air Wave scales up to level 80. Air Surge is a level 81 spell and is not required for this staff. In addition, Fire Surge is not required either, as it will do the same amount of damage as Air Wave due to the staff's tier.
The staff was used by the Inquisitors, a subsect of the Zarosian Secret Police.

Damage analysis[edit | edit source]
The Inquisitor staff provides a significant damage and accuracy boost against the following bosses, even when compared to a T92 staff of Sliske or a T90 noxious staff weapon.
The Inquisitor staff is 3.5% stronger than the staff of Sliske against melee-classed bosses, regardless of rotation.
The following table provides detailed analysis of the DPM (damage per minute) and hitchance increase when using the Inquisitor staff compared to T92 and T90 staves.[2]
Hitchances in the following table assumes that you have:
- 99
Magic
- Elder overloads
- Maniacal aura
- Affliction (tier 99 prayer)

- Notes
Additional Assumptions based on a variety of boss specific rotations were used for the above calculations:
- T92 Weapons increase average damage output by 28 over T90 weapons, which results in a ~1.3% damage gain over a rotation, the 118 accuracy gain is reflected in hitchances above
- ~50% of damage in a typical 4TAA rotation can be done with your 2H weapon, so in the table above, "Inquisitor 4TAA" means that 50% of the damage will come from the Inquisitor staff, and the other 50% will come from your dual-wield T92 weapon.
- T92 vs T90 vary by approximately the same percentages regardless of rotation so dual-wield/2-handed doesn't matter
- Guthix Staff and SWH Hitchances are shown with the initial defence drain (-5% and -30%, respectively) that is applied for bosses not immune to drains

In addition, a single inquisitor staff piece is awarded when completing the Zarosian IV collection for the first time, which requires Archaeology level 118.
The staff pieces are not dropped in order, they are dropped randomly.
Repair[edit | edit source]
The inquisitor staff has 60,000 charges of combat. The base repair cost of the Inquisitor staff when completely degraded to 0.0% item charge is 2,000,000 coins. It can be repaired by:
- Bob - the axe seller in Lumbridge
- Tindel Marchant - the weapon and armour repairman at Port Khazard
- Dunstan - the smith in Burthorpe
- Squire - in the workshop area of the Void Knights' Outpost
Alternatively, it can be repaired on an armour stand in a player-owned house or on a whetstone device anywhere. This provides a discount of 0.5% per Smithing level (including boosts).
If it is only partially degraded the cost of a full repair is multiplied by the percentage of item charge that needs to be repaired to produce the current repair cost.
