The starter staff is a powered staff obtained from a Deadman starter pack, along with the starter sword and bow. It has no requirements to wield, and is intended to be used to help a player get started in a seasonal Deadman Mode server.

It is equipped with a built-in Fire Strike, being able to cast 500 of them before fully degrading, displaying the message Your starter staff has fallen apart!

As with all starter weapons, it cannot be used against other players.
