Astral staff

The astral staff is a magic weapon bought from the rewards trader for 12,500 dungeoneering tokens. Players can store up to 1,000 astral runes in it, and remove them at any time. When wielded, it has a 1/10 chance to save an astral rune. A Magic and Dungeoneering level of 53 is required to wield the staff, although in order to gain actual use for the staff, players need to have done Lunar Diplomacy in order to unlock the Lunar spellbook. It does not stack in the bank even if it has the same rune count.

When the staff's effect activates, the message reads: "Your staff magically pays for the cost of the astral rune." (This message is blocked if the Game tab is filtered.)

If you have astral runes in your inventory as well as in the equipped staff, you will use up the ones in the staff first.

Upon death the item is dropped and the number of astral rune charges remains constant. It won't be lost if picked up in under one minute.
