Staves

"Staves are light and simple to make, which makes them a popular choice for many."

— In-game description

Staves are the most basic weapons which deal  Piercing Damage. They are not that great in terms of both damage values and attribute bonuses. It is a good idea to replace them with much better pikes as soon as possible.

The best stave is made of ancient wood and ruby.

Unlocking staves crafting requires 1 advancement point and is a prerequisite for pikes crafting.
