Shade skulls are obtained from gold chests in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. They can be added to almost any elemental staff, battlestaff, or mystic staff to change only the appearance. This operation requires level 85 Crafting and provides 130 Crafting experience.

The skulls can be removed from the staves and added to them at any time, but there is a cooldown period of five minutes after adding a skull to a staff which prevents gaining the Crafting experience for doing so again.

Trivia

• The shade skull's icon is almost the same as the magic skullball's icon.
• Previously, adding a shade skull to a single-element mystic staff would give it a +5% magic damage bonus. This no longer happens due to stat changes made after the Evolution of Combat update.
• When the shade skull is found it appears in the adventurer's log: "While battling shades in Mort'ton, I looted a shade skull."
• The shade skull may not be added to the elemental battlestaff, despite it being a battlestaff.
