Popular with poor farmers, pacifists and drifters. It's usually seen as a weapon for those who can't afford a blade, but sometimes can make a fool of a good swordsman.

The Staff is a long, relatively fast weapon with a short reach (For a Polearm). Please note that the "fast" part has to do with the animations assigned to all Polearms. Its moderate blunt damage and low cut damage means that it is the worst weapon to train Dexterity with. (Not including Jitte/Heavy Jitte which give 0 Dex for training with) It is often found as a weapon on farmers and various civilians.

This weapon can primarily be found in shops in The Swamp. It is often the weapon of choice of Rebel Farmers. A Meitou grade staff is in the hands of Spider Foreman in Spider Factory.

The staff is unique among the Polearms for not having a damage bonus against animals.

The ability to make this weapon can be learned by researching Basic Weapon Smithing.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 1x10, meaning it can only be equipped as a primary weapon.

There are no Blueprints for this item available in the game as it is learned when researching Basic Weapon Smithing.

TipThe same piece of gear comes from two sources. Manufactured versions are factory-made: sold in shops, looted from enemies, and available at the very top grades. Homemade versions are crafted at your own bench, follow a different value curve, and cannot reach the highest grades.
