Attack speed

Staves are Magic weapons that have the ability to autocast spells. Elemental staves are unlimited sources of certain runes depending on the element of the staff, and are popular because they save coins otherwise spent on runes.

All staves give Magic attack bonuses as well as mediocre melee attack bonuses. Battlestaves are upgraded versions of normal staves with slightly better Magic and melee bonuses. Mystic staves are enchanted versions of battlestaves with further improved magic and melee bonuses.

Some staves are required to cast certain spells. Examples of this are the slayer staff, which casts the Magic Dart spell, and Iban's staff, which is required to cast the Iban Blast spell.

All staves have a melee attack speed of 5, with the exception of bladed staves, dramen staff, and ancient staff having 4 and Ahrim's staff having 6.

All staves have a spell autocast speed of 5, with the exception of powered staves (but not Tumeken's shadow) and the harmonised nightmare staff having an autocast speed of 4.
