-Quarterstaves are decent weapons in the early stages of the game thanks to their high accuracy, damage, and low attack delay. The '''staff of the Meek'''<ref>{{source ref|0.29.0|art-data.txt|1645}}</ref>, a +7 quarterstaff, gives characters just staring out a distinct advantage over early foes. For a relatively small skill investment (you can even rely on [[crosstraining]]), this staff provides a great return. While the staff does take up your [[shield]] slot, the protection brand helps compensate, especially when your max HP is low (and it might take you a while to find a shield in the first place).

While the staff does take up your [[shield]] slot, the protection brand helps compensate, especially when your max HP is low. Plus, you might not have a shield in the first place.
 Consider switching to a stronger offensive weapon once you start finding other decent [[brand]]ed weapons and better defensive gear.

-A quarterstaff would prove decent in the early stages of the game, thanks to its high accuracy, damage, and low attack delay. Thankfully, a +7 quarterstaff, the '''staff of the Meek'''<ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|art-data.txt|1634}}</ref>, tends to spawn in the early section of the dungeon. For a relatively small skill investment (you could even purely use [[crosstraining]]), this staff provides a great return. While the staff does take up your shield slot, the protection brand is some compensation -- especially when your max HP is low. Consider switching once you start finding other decent [[brand]]ed weapons out there.

-Regardless of health, the staff provides the regular protection brand (+7 AC for a short time after attacking a monster). At 55 HP, and for every 4 health below 55, the AC bonus increases by 1. This caps out at 27 HP, where the Meekstaff will provide 14 AC total.<ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|player.cc|5992}}</ref>
