The harmonised nightmare staff is a one-handed staff that is created by attaching a harmonised orb to the Nightmare staff. Requiring level 82 Magic and 50 Hitpoints to wield, it can autocast offensive standard spells, but cannot autocast any other spells (including Ancient Magicks and the Arceuus spellbook) unlike its other variants. Like the Nightmare staff it gives a 15% bonus in magic damage. The upgraded staff is untradeable, but it can be reverted to its tradeable components at any time. If lost on death in the Wilderness, the killer will receive the staff and the orb.
When casting offensive spells from the standard spellbook, the harmonised nightmare staff reduces the cast time from 5 (3.0s) to 4 (2.4s) ticks, equal to most powered staves. The 4-tick spell speed only applies when autocasting. Manually casting spells with the staff equipped will result in a 5-tick attack speed. Unlike powered staves, the harmonised nightmare staff can be used against other players in dangerous PvP scenarios, as it is not classified as a powered staff.
Due to the increased casting speed, the harmonised nightmare staff allows standard combat spells to have damage output competitive with the powered staves; casting Fire Surge with the staff along with a charged tome of fire is particularly effective against monsters weak to magic, such as Zulrah, The Nightmare's pillars, and Kraken, albeit without the passive healing and venom provided by the Sanguinesti staff and trident of the swamp respectively.
In PvP, the increased attack speed is notable for enabling the stacking of damage from spells and melee weapon special attacks on the same tick, such as Fire Surge into Armadyl godsword special attack, something that slower attack speed staves cannot do.
