Steam battlestaff

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A player wielding the steam battlestaff.

The Steam battlestaff is a medium power steam elemental staff. It requires 30 Attack and Magic to wield and provides an unlimited amount of water and fire runes. Steam battlestaves are dropped only by K'ril Tsutsaroth and his bodyguards, Balfrug Kreeyath, Tstanon Karlak, and Zakl'n Gritch.

The steam battlestaff was released on 28 August 2007 as part of the God Wars Dungeon update and the latest of the hybrid elemental staffs. After its release, some players complained about the steam battlestaff's similar appearance to the Air staff. Visually the steam battlestaff is identical to the Mystic steam staff.

It can by made into a Mystic steam staff by Thormac, for a fee of 40,000 coins after completing the Scorpion Catcher quest or for 27 000 coins while wearing a Seers' headband 3. This gives it additional crush and strength bonuses.

The following spells require both water and fire runes:
