+7 quarterstaff
Protection brand
Provides even more AC at low health.

Mechanics

When below 55 HP, the protection brand will provide even more AC. 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.[1]

Desirability

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[2], tends to spawn in the early section of the dungeon. For a relatively small skill investment, this staff provides great returns. While the staff does take up your shield slot, the protection brand makes up for it. Consider switching once you start finding other decent branded weapons out there.

History

  • The staff was added in 0.28.
