Ahrim's staff is a one-handed magic weapon that is part of Ahrim the Blighted's set. To wield Ahrim's staff, the player must have 70 Magic and 70 Attack. It increases Magic damage by 5%.

Being part of Ahrim's barrows set, if Ahrim's staff is wielded along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Ahrim's barrows set the player's successful magic attacks have a chance of temporarily lowering the opponent's Strength level. This is cumulative with other effects that lower strength, namely the spell Enfeeble.

It is one of the few weapons able to autocast Arceuus combat spells. Additionally, wearing Ahrim's set with an Amulet of the damned will allow players to autocast Ancient Magicks, and also grant players a 25% chance of dealing a hit with 30% increased damage.

Degradation[edit | edit source]

Barrows equipment degrades as it is used. Equipment received from the Barrows minigame is fully repaired and can be used for 15 hours of combat until it degrades completely and requires repair before it can be used again. Barrows armour degrades even if the player is using protection prayers or not taking damage. Barrows equipment does not suffer in performance as it degrades from fully repaired to fully degraded. Fully repaired Barrows items start out with no numbers in their names, e.g. Ahrim's staff. It will become Ahrim's staff 100 the first time it's used in combat. Eventually it will degrade to Ahrim's staff 75, then 50, then 25 and finally 0 at which point the armour will be unusable until repaired. Additionally, Barrows equipment may only be traded if fully repaired or fully degraded.

When dropped or lost on death, any piece of Barrows equipment will automatically degrade to 0. Players who attempt to drop Barrows equipment will receive a warning message about this. As a bank note, dropping will not break the equipment.

There are two ways to repair Barrows armour. Players can talk to any of the NPCs listed below and they will repair the items for a price, or repair the pieces themselves using an armour stand in any player-owned house. The equipment can be repaired at any stage, and the cost will be adjusted according to how much it has degraded. The repair costs below are as if the equipment has fully degraded.

The following NPCs can repair the armour:

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

	Level(s) required	Magic attack	Magic damage	Price	Notes
Tumeken's shadow	85	+35	N/A	1,282,451,572	Requires ⁵ ² per charge of the built-in spell. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 34 at 99 without any magic damage bonus. Has a passive effect which triples magic attack bonus and magic damage from the player's worn equipment. The magic damage increase is capped at a total of 100%. Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff. Currently offers the highest magic attack bonus, and is tied with the Kodai wand for highest magic defence.
Harmonised nightmare staff	82 50	+16	+15%	419,417,359	Can autocast standard spells only. Standard spells attack one tick faster, matching the speed of a powered staff. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Nightmare staff.
Volatile nightmare staff	82 50	+16	+15%	262,532,894	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells.

Sanguinesti staff	82	+25	N/A	84,152,823	Slightly stronger than the trident of the swamp, with the same stats but able to hit one damage higher. Requires ³ per charge of the built-in spell. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 32 at 99 . Has a 1 in 6 chance to heal the wielder by half the damage dealt. Tied with the toxic staff of the dead and trident of the swamp for third-highest magic attack bonus. Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff.
Holy Sanguinesti staff	82	+25	N/A	84,152,823
Kodai wand	80	+28	+15%	81,120,429	Can autocast Ancient Magicks, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Provides unlimited water runes while equipped. When a combat spell is cast with the wand, there is a 15% chance that the wand will negate the rune cost for that spell. Currently offers the second-highest magic attack bonus, and is tied with Tumeken's Shadow for highest magic defence.
Trident of the swamp	78	+25	N/A	3,518,359	Has the same benefits as the Trident of the seas, but with +10 more magic attack bonus. Requires ⁵ ¹ ¹ and 1 Zulrah scale (instead of coins) per charge of the built-in spell, and can hold up to 2500 charges. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 31 at 99 . Has 25% chance to inflict venom on the target. Tied with the Sanguinesti staff and Toxic staff of the dead for third-highest magic attack bonus. Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff.
Trident of the swamp (e)	78	+25	N/A	7,086,341
Toxic staff of the dead	75	+25	+15%	8,768,355	Can autocast Flames of Zamorak, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Has the same benefits as the Staff of the dead, but with +8 more magic attack bonus. Requires Zulrah's scales to recharge (up to 11000). Has 25% chance to inflict venom on an opponent. Tied with the Sanguinesti staff and trident of the swamp for third-highest magic attack bonus.
Staff of light	75	+17	+15%	4,483,051	Can autocast Saradomin Strike, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, and standard spells. Counts as both a Saradomin AND Zamorak item in God Wars. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Staff of the dead excluding Flames of Zamorak autocast.
Staff of balance	75	+17	+15%	26,194,893	Can autocast Claws of Guthix, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, and standard spells. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Staff of the dead excluding Flames of Zamorak autocast.
Staff of the dead	75	+17	+15%	5,297,551	Can autocast Flames of Zamorak, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Has a special attack that halves all melee damage the player takes for one minute, which stacks with the PvP damage reduction effect of the Protect from Melee prayer. This consumes 100% of the player's special attack. When a combat spell is cast with the staff, there is a 1/8 (12.5%) chance that the staff will negate the rune cost for that spell. Currently the strongest staff when used as a melee weapon, surpassing the Ancient staff and Iban's staff, and provides +17 magic defence. Counts as a Zamorakian item in God Wars.
Trident of the seas	75	+15	N/A	41,595	Has its own built-in spell, requiring charges which cost ⁵ ¹ ¹ runes and 10 coins per cast. Can hold up to 2,500 charges. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 28 at 99 . Has a weapon speed of 4 (same as scimitars/whip), while all other forms of combat magic only have 5 (same as longswords). Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff.
Trident of the seas (e)	75	+15	N/A	3,926,980
Slayer's staff (e)	75 55	+12	N/A	22,273^{[n 1]}	Can autocast Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and the Wave and Surge spells. Has 2,500 charges and is recharged with a Slayer's enchantment. If used to cast Magic Dart on the player's Slayer task, max hit is 13 + (player's magic level / 6), rounded down, and uses 1 charge from the staff on a hit. Otherwise provides the same benefits as the Slayer's staff.
Nightmare staff	72 50	+16	+15%	39,567,876	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells.
Ahrim's staff	70	+15	+5%	145,070	Can autocast Arceuus spells and standard spells. Can autocast Ancient Magicks if equipped with Ahrim the Blighted's equipment and the Amulet of the damned.
Master wand	60	+20	N/A	4,083,226	Can autocast Ancient Magicks, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Requires 240 Telekinetic, 240 Alchemist, 2400 Enchantment and 240 Graveyard points, and a teacher wand equipped or in the player's inventory, to purchase from the Mage Training Arena. Thus it does not cost much besides the time and runes spent in the Mage Training Arena.
Thammaron's sceptre	60	+20	N/A	4,641,950	Can autocast standard spells.
God staves	60	+6	N/A	80,000	Required to cast god spells, but cannot be used to autocast them. Those who have 80 and the respective God cape can use the Charge spell, which increases the God spell's damage by 50%.
