A staff of air is an elemental staff. It is an unlimited source of air runes. The element of this staff can be changed with crystal balls in a study of a player-owned house.

Similar to chargebows, this is dropped by low level creatures such as goblins.

It is one of the most popular staves in RuneScape, because of its unlimited source of air Runes, the most used rune in spells. Alternately, players may opt to use Caitlin's staff, which is obtained from The Blood Pact quest, the Tower mindspike (obtained from Wizard Borann during the Rune Mysteries quest) or the mindspike, a standard staff that can change its elemental orientation.

With 85 Crafting, players may attach a shade skull to the staff of air, creating a skeletal staff of air.
