The '''quarterstaff''' is one of the best weapons available in the early game due to its excellent accuracy, power, and speed. It also uses the Staves skill, which can come in handy should you decide to use any [[magical staff|magical staves]] to enhance your spellcasting in the future. Being [[handedness|double-handed]] weapons, quarterstaves are not recommended for use with shields, so characters that plan to use a shield may wish to look into a different weapon.
