Zamorak Staff

Zamorak Staff

The zamorak staff is a power level 6 staff that can be crafted with a mystic forge. This staff and its recipe are unlocked after completing What's Theirs is Mine!, the nodestone quest in Dowdun Reach. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores.

Its special effect, Burning Ambition, increases burning damage caused by fire magic by 33%. At power level 6, that's an increase from 15 to 20 per tick, and at power level 7 an increase from 17 to 23 per tick. Burning damage ticks once every second for 6 seconds. This weapon's special action, Flames of Zamorak, uses 18 stamina and charges up an attack that then slams the staff down to cause a significant area of effect of damage that also instantly causes burning on enemies. This attack deals 18 base rune damage, or 123 damage (plus burning) at power level 6 with a rune damage modifier of 6.8 and 150 damage (plus burning) at power level 7 with a rune damage modifier of 8.3. However, due to the other effect, Elemental Imbalance, this weapon deals only half damage with air magic, water magic, and earth magic.

This staff is therefore incredibly powerful as long as only fire magic is being used. Even being 0.4 - 0.5 rune damage modifier lower than the staff of light and necromancer's staff, the burning damage will surpass the rune damage. Not to mention, the special action deals an exceptional amount of damage all around the user, instantly burning enemies as well, which covers a staff's weakness when multiple enemies get close. However, using any other form of magic is a significant damage loss, and unfortunately a number of enemies are resistant to fire and burning (like the knights and mages of Dowdun Reach) or completely immune (like the KotHaar). Assuming one can manage the weight and inventory slot, taking this staff for fire magic and another for the others is a viable strategy. Also, although the fire cape doesn't have great synergy (since it requires blocking or taking damage to cause burning and only melee kills on burning targets restore stamina), the zamorak cape on the other hand will cause Afterimage to explode, for those mages with a penchant for explosives.

There are myths and anecdotes about Zamorak appearing to the inhabitants of Dowdun Reach. Few truly believe them. Zamorak is not one for hiding his presence: he's more theatrical than that.

It may be hard to believe, but some have tried to 'summon' Zamorak to Dowdun Reach. Call it the hubris of a demon summoner: a student feels they have mastered the art of summoning demons, so believes the next rung on the ladder is god. Never mind that Zamorak has no ounce of demon within him.

Zamorak can be accused of many things, but he does have a sense of humour. These attempts have been greeted with a gift. He has been known to kick a bloodveld through the portal, or another creature he has to hand. It gives the demon summoner a little spot-test.
