The crafting of elemental battlestaves is not easy to accomplish. Requiring dedication in the Crafting skill to reach the levels required, battlestaves can reward a crafter with money saved and money gained from trading.

There is a ready supply of battlestaffs available from Zaff’s Staffs in Varrock, Baba Yaga on Lunar Isle or the Magic Guild in Yanille.

First you will need an unpowered orb and a battlestaff.

You can either buy an unpowered orb from another player, or make one yourself if you have level 46 or more in Crafting. (See the Crafting - Glass Making part of the manual for more details).

You will also need to purchase a battlestaff from any of the stores listed above. They will charge around 7000 coins for one.

At this point in making a battlestaff it is necessary to choose what staff you will be making, be it air, earth, fire or water. To make the orb into an elemental orb of your chosen type, you must locate the obelisk, and there cast the relevant ‘charge’ spell on your orb.

The final stage will take no time at all, now you have your charged orb and basic battlestaff: simply use one with the other, and you will craft the battlestaff of the orb type.

It is also worth noting, that you do not need to have charged the orb yourself in order to place it upon a battlestaff. Therefore, it is possible to shorten this process if you find someone to supply you with powered orbs.

If you have completed Scorpion Catcher, you can get your elemental battlestaves upgraded to mystic staves by Thormac the Sorcerer for 40,000 coins. Doing this will greatly increase the stave’s offensive capabilities.
