The Staff of Armadyl is a quest item used in the quest Temple of Ikov. If you side with Lucien in the Temple of Ikov quest, you must steal this staff from a temple and bring it to him. It is the staff of the god of purity, Armadyl, and was also used by Zamorak to defeat Zaros.
If you opposed Lucien in the Temple of Ikov quest, the staff remains in the Guardians of Armadyl chamber in the Temple of Ikov dungeon. On 28 October 2008, players who opposed Lucien received the Armadyl communiqué warning that the staff is in danger again.
A replica is currently on display at the Varrock Museum after you speak to the museum curator on the second floor and explain to him what it looked like during the Temple of Ikov quest. The staff in the museum has had a graphical update recently and now looks very similar, if not identical to the staff wielded by the robed skeleton found in the Runescape vs. Real-world trading development diary.

Lucien was found to have taken the staff, whether from the player from the Temple of Ikov quest or from Movario, a human researcher working for Lucien, and was using it to help him become Head of the Mahjarrat and to attain near godhood. However in the While Guthix Sleeps quest it is shown that Lucien was looking for the Stone of Jas as the Staff wasn't enough to overthrow Zamorak.
[edit] Trivia
- Previous to an unknown update, the Staff of Armadyl looked similar to an Earth Battlestaff with a lighter colour, an appearance which is still upheld in the Temple of Ikov. Before then though, it looked like it had a purple top.
