The Nightmare staff is a one-handed staff that can be received as a drop from The Nightmare. Requiring level 72 Magic and 50 Hitpoints to wield, it can autocast offensive standard spells as well as Ancient Magicks.
Once belonging to the shamans of Ashihama, its true name has since been lost to the world, and is now associated with The Nightmare.[1] It gives a 15% bonus in magic damage.
Players can attach three different orbs to the nightmare staff, giving it differing effects, increasing the magic requirement to 82, and making it untradeable:
- The eldritch orb creates the
eldritch nightmare staff, granting it a prayer-restoring special attack
- The volatile orb creates the
volatile nightmare staff, granting it a high-damaging special attack
- The harmonised orb creates the
harmonised nightmare staff, removing its ability to autocast Ancient Magicks but increasing its casting speed to 4 ticks from 5
The upgraded staves can be reverted to their tradeable components at any time.
