Bryophyta's staff is a staff requiring level 30 Attack and Magic to wield. It is created by using a battlestaff with Bryophyta's essence, which requires level 62 Crafting. Its stats are almost identical to the Ancient staff but without the -1 Prayer bonus and attacks one tick slower. It is also a possible requirement for a master clue scroll emote clue.

The staff can be charged with up to 1,000 nature runes. While the staff is equipped, it acts as if the player is holding the charged number of nature runes. In addition, while equipped and charged it has a 1/15 chance to not consume a charge.

The staff can be used along with a Tome of Fire to increase profits with High Level Alchemy; however, it takes a very long time for the extra profit to pay for the staff and tome.

The staff is untradeable while it has any charges. Players can use a right-click option to remove all of the staff's charges, but the nature runes stored within it are not returned.

It has the highest Magic Attack and Magic Defence bonuses of any item obtainable in free-to-play.

Note: On death all but one charges will be lost.

Passive effect

While equipped and charged, the staff has a 1/15 chance of not consuming a charge when any spell that uses a nature rune is cast. The staff may save multiple charges if the spell uses multiple nature runes. When a charge is saved, it can be saved again at the same chance. The average number of charges per nature rune can be represented as a geometric series ${\textstyle S(x)=x\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }15^{-n}}$, which converges to (15/14)x ≈ 1.071x charges per x nature runes. Thus the effective number of nature runes for a fully charged staff is 1,071.43 on average, with a 95% chance of lying between 1,055 and 1,089.

At current market prices, this saves an average of 13.14 coins per rune consumed.

Comparison between other magic weapons

Name		Levels to equip	Price	Magic Attack bonus	Magic damage	Notes
	Harmonised nightmare staff	82 50	687,106,921	+16	+15%	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	202,217,010	+16	+15%	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells. Has a special attack which consumes 55% of the player's special attack energy and deals a high amount of damage with 50% increased accuracy. This attack does not consume runes. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Nightmare staff.
	Eldritch nightmare staff	82 50	103,024,393	+16	+15%	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells. Has a special attack which consumes 55% of the player's special attack energy and deals a high amount of damage, restoring the player's prayer points by 50% of the damage dealt. This attack does not consume runes. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Nightmare staff.
	Sanguinesti staff	82	75,582,054	+25	N/A	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 second-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.
	Kodai wand	80	121,123,229	+28	+15%	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 highest stat of any magic weapon in both magic attack and defence.
	Trident of the swamp	78	4,361,807	+25	N/A	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 second-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.
	Toxic staff of the dead	75	8,685,675	+25	+15%	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 second-highest magic attack bonus.
	Master wand	60	3,126,090	+20	N/A	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.
	Staff of light	75	4,395,970	+17	+15%	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	33,136,760	+17	+15%	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	4,306,410	+17	+15%	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.
	Nightmare staff	72 50	35,209,414	+16	+15%	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells.
	Trident of the seas	75	39,780	+15	N/A	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.
	Ahrim's staff	70	130,711	+15	+5%	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.
	Smoke battlestaff	30 (Battlestaff)	1,364,296	+12	+10%	Can autocast standard spells. Provides unlimited fire and air runes. Grants a 10% accuracy and damage boost for combat spells on the standard spellbook.
		40 (Mystic staff)	1,489,463	+14
	Slayer's staff (e)	75 55	22,994	+12	N/A	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.
	Iban's staff	50	200,000	+10	N/A	Only staff able to cast Iban Blast. Can autocast Iban Blast and standard spells. Has 120 charges (2,500 if upgraded). One charge is used when casting Iban Blast on an NPC and two are used when casting it on another player. Iban Blast has a max hit of 25.
	God staves	60	80,000	+6	N/A	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%.
	Ancient staff	50	58,900	+15	N/A	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells. Currently the third strongest staff when used as a melee weapon, behind the (Toxic) Staff of the dead and Ahrim's Staff.
	Slayer's staff	50 55	21,143	+12	N/A	Can autocast Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and the Wave and Surge spells. Runes required to cast Magic Dart are very cheap compared to spells of a similar level. Maximum hit of Magic Dart is 10 + (player's magic level / 10), rounded down.
	Void knight mace	42 22	Untradeable	+8	N/A	Can autocast Claws of Guthix, Crumble Undead, and the Wave and Surge spells.
	Skull sceptre	1	Untradeable	+10	N/A	Can autocast both Arceuus spells and standard spells.
	Elemental staves	1 (Basic)	1,611	+10	N/A	Can autocast standard spells. Provide unlimited runes of their respective elements. Elemental staves (air, water, earth and fire) provide one type of rune. Combination staves (lava, mud, mist, dust, steam and smoke) provide two types of runes. However, they have a slower attack speed than better staves (3 seconds per cast instead of 2.4) and lack any Magic damage boost.

Trivia

• A player who purchased this staff (and wishes to keep it) would need to cast 658,147 nature rune spells in order for the staff to pay for itself. To put this into perspective, to get from 55 to 99 Magic, a player would need to cast High Level Alchemy 196,562 times. However, the player can still sell this staff when they are done training Magic with it.
