A staff of earth is a magical staff. It gives a spell enhancer to Earth Magic, but no resistance.

The staff can also be used in combat, functioning as a +0 staff that deals additional physical damage. Flying monsters only take 33% of this damage:

In addition, the Staves and Fighting skills will increase the damage done by the staff itself.

History

  • Prior to 0.31, staves of Earth had higher base bonus damage (1.67×(Evocations/2 + Earth Magic)), and it didn't do less to flying targets. However, this damage was impacted ×3 as much by AC.
  • Prior to 0.26, staves of earth had lower extra damage, but it was reduced by AC only once. The old melee effect was given to staves of conjuration.
  • Prior to 0.19, enhancer staves would penalize casting spells of the opposite school.
  • Prior to 0.8, the chance of a staff of earth auto-identifying when wielded depended on the Earth Magic skill of the wielder.
