Runescape Dragonwilds: All 6 Mage Staffs Guide

If you’re wishing to roleplay as a caster in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, it’s a good idea to know about all 6 Mage Staffs currently in the game.

Every Mage Staff works more or less the same, admittedly. Some of them do have bonus effects, but most of them are linear upgrades that simply do more damage. Nonetheless, it’s important to know what they are and how to get them!

Now, without further ado, read on and we’ll tell you about all of the Mage Staffs.

How to Get All 6 Mage Staffs | RuneScape: Dragonwilds Guide

Ash Battlestaff – Power Level 2

This is the basic entry-level staff in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, which also means it’s the first one you’ll get of all the 6 Mage Staffs. You automatically get the recipe for this staff once you craft your first Crafting Table. You can then make it at any Crafting Table with the following materials:

• Ash Logs x12 – Obtained by chopping down Ash Trees, which are plentiful in every region.
• Rune Essence x6 – Mine it from Essence Veins and Essence Rocks found all over the world.
• Coarse Thread x2 – Can be made out of Flax or Coarse Animal Fur at the Spinning Wheel.

Now, here are the stats for this basic Mage Staff:

• Durability – 900
• Damage Multiplier – x1.9 Rune Damage
• Attack Combo – 4

Grieving Moon Staff – Power Level 3

This upgraded Mage Staff requires two conditions for you to make it.

First, you’ll need to get the recipe as a random drop from Garou Druids. These enemies appear in the Stormtouched Highlands, the Fractured Plains, and the Bloodblight Swamp. As such, they’re extremely common once you leave the starting Bramblemead Valley region.

Second, you’ll need to craft and use a Smithing Anvil. The most notable materials for this crafting station are the Bronze Bars andthe Vault Core. You can get the Bronze Bars by smelting Copper and Tin ores in a Furnace. For the Vault Core, you’ll need to explore any of the many Dragonkin Vaults dotted around the map.

Once you’ve got all of that, approach the Smithing Anvil and use it to craft the Grieving Moon Staff with the following materials:

• Oak Logs x8 – Get it by chopping down Oak Trees, which are notably darker than Ash Trees.
• Antler x6 – Obtained as drops from Deer. They spawn in every region except the Whispering Swamp and Bloodblight Swamp.
• Animal Bone x2 – Random drop from killing any animal.

Lastly, here are the stats for this Mage Staff:

• Durability – 1050
• -15% Crit Hit Chance (the game lists it as a positive, so it’s possible it’s actually +15%)
• Damage Multiplier – x2.6 Rune Damage
• Attack Combo – 4

Oak Battlestaff – Power Level 3

Similar to the Grieving Moon Staff before it, this Mage Staff requires you to get a Smithing Anvil. However, you don’t need to hunt down the recipe itself, as you should get it automatically. That’s one less step, at least!

Once you’ve made a Smithing Anvil, use it and the following materials to craft the Oak Battlestaff:

• Oak Logs x8 – Get it by chopping down Oak Trees, which are notably darker than Ash Trees.
• Anima-Infused Bark x6 – Commonly found at the base of large Anima Trees in the Fractured Plains region.
• Wool Thread x3 – Can be made at a Spinning Wheel by using Soft Animal Fur x3 or Fleece x1. Both of those drop from various animals.

Now, peep the stats for this strong Mage Staff:

• Durability – 1050
• Damage Multiplier – x2.8 Rune Damage
• Attack Combo – 4

Blightwood Battlestaff – Power Level 4

Like the Oak Battlestaff, you should have the recipe for the Blightwood Battlestaff as soon as you make a Smithing Anvil. Just like before, you’ll just need to use the Smithing Anvil to be able to craft this one!

Now, here’s the shopping list of materials required for the Blightwood Battlestaff:

• Blightwood x12 – Obtained by chopping the pale roots of large trees in the Bloodblight Swamp region.
• Wild Anima x6 – Can be made at a Kiln by using Anima-Infused Bark x4.
• Swamp Thread x3 – This can be made at the Spinning Wheel by using Swamp Weed x1. You can find the Swamp Weeds all over Bloodblight Swamp.
• Vault Shard x4 – Obtained by defeating Vault Guardian enemies inside any Dragonkin Vault.

Considering that you will be spending a lot of time in the Bloodblight Swamp, we recommend preparing yourself. The swamp is covered in a poisonous fog that will kill you if you’re unprepared! Make sure to bring plenty of Antipoison Potions with you when gathering.

That aside, here are all of the stats for the Blightwood Battlestaff:

• Durability – 1100
• Damage Multiplier – x4.1 Rune Damage
• Attack Combo – 4

Draconic Staff – Power Level 4

While this staff can be crafted at the Smithing Anvil like most others, you’ll need to hunt down its crafting recipe yourself. You can find it inside a chest along the western wall of the Dragonkin Vault in Ashien’s Watch. That’s found on the northeastern corner of the Fractured Plains, as shown above.

Once you’ve obtained the crafting recipe, use the Smithing Anvil and the following materials:

• Iron Bar x10 – Can be made at the Furnace by smelting Iron Ore x3.
• Granite x6 – A dark stone that can be mined in the Stormtouched Highlands region. Requires a Bronze Pickaxe or better.
• Jade x4 – Randomly obtained by mining Iron Deposits in the Stormtouched Highlands. Requires the Gem Prospector Perk, which unlocks at Level 16 Mining Skill.
• Vault Shard x4 – Obtained by defeating Vault Guardian enemies inside any Dragonkin Vault.

Lastly, let’s take a look at this Mage Staff’s stats:

• Durability – 1100
• Damage Multiplier – x4.1 Rune Damage
• +15% Crit Hit Chance
• Attack Combo – 4

Staff of Light – Power Level 4 Masterwork

Out of all 6 Mage Staffs in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, this is the only one classified as a Masterwork. To get the crafting recipe for this one, you’ll need to complete the “Highlighting the Problem” quest. You can do it at the Runecrafting Guild near the Dragonkin Vault on the western part of Bramblemead Valley.

This quest is a relatively lengthy process. If you want more details, check out our full guide on how to get the Staff of Light.

If you’ve already completed the quest and obtained the recipe, you’ll just need to use a Smithing Anvil. Use the following materials at the Smithing Anvil:

• Blightwood x16 – Obtained by chopping the pale roots of large trees in the Bloodblight Swamp region.
• Wild Anima x8 – Can be made at a Kiln by using Anima-Infused Bark x4.
• Sapphire x4 – You can it by mining Gold Deposits in the Bloodblight Swamp region. Requires the Gem Prospector Perk, which unlocks at Level 16 Mining Skill.
• Vault Shard x12 – Obtained by defeating Vault Guardian enemies inside any Dragonkin Vault.
• Vault Core x1 – Obtained as a reward from looting and exploring Dragonkin Vaults.

Lastly, here’s the stats for this Masterwork Mage Staff:

• Damage Multiplier – x4.5 Rune Damage
• Attack Combo – 4
