A Battlestaff is a members-only staff, reasonably strong weapon in terms of melee, plus having the advantage of boosting Magic. It requires 30 Attack and Magic to wield. Mostly, though, it's useful in making elemental battlestaves. By using the appropriate (earth, water, fire, air) charge orb spell on an Obelisk with an Unpowered orb in your inventory, you can make an elemental orb, which you can then attach to the top of the battlestaff. Then, you can take it to Thormac (if you've done Scorpion Catcher) to make a Mystic battlestaff for 40,000 coins. Visually the battlestaff is identical to the staff
