Iban's staff (u)

Iban's staff (u) (referred to in-game as Iban's upgraded staff) is a stronger version of Iban's staff. It is obtained by bringing Iban's staff to the Dark mage, located in West Ardougne at the last house before the entrance of the Underground Pass dungeon, and paying him 200,000 coins. It provides the same functions as the basic Iban's staff (namely the ability to cast and auto-cast Iban Blast), but it holds 2,500 charges instead of the 120 charges that the basic Iban's staff is limited to. Upgrading the staff will also recharge it.

To recharge the staff, the player must go through the Underground Pass to the "Flames of Zamorak", the well located past the three level 62 Paladins. The Paladins do not have to be killed again. Alternatively, players may pay the dark mage 250,000 coins to charge it for them.

If players lose Iban's upgraded staff, they can obtain another by going into the Underground Pass and killing a Disciple of Iban to get a broken Iban's staff. They must bring it to the Dark mage to repair it, where they will get a broken Iban's staff; they must pay the upgrade fee of 200,000 coins again to regain Iban's upgraded staff.

Upgrading Iban's staff or equipping Iban's upgraded staff is an Ardougne Diary medium task.

Trivia
Every time the player equips Iban's upgraded staff, the game chat will state "You equip the staff of Iban." This makes Iban's staff and its upgraded version the only weapons in Old School RuneScape to have a message upon equipping them.
