 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 shrapnel damage (physical damage, reduced by [[AC]] three times):
+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.

+*Prior to [[0.31]], staves of Earth had higher base bonus damage (<code>1.67×(Evocations/2 + Earth Magic)</code>), 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 [[staff of conjuration|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.

 Further physical damage bonuses can be gained through training [[Staves]] and [[Fighting]]. The Staves skill also increases your accuracy and speed at which you can attack, making it highly recommended to train the skill at least up to the weapon's minimum delay first.
 Staves of earth, like other [[magical staves]], can sometimes be [[cursed]].
