Zaff's Superior Staffs! is located near central Varrock. Zaff, the owner, is the main source of elemental staves and battlestaves for free players.
Players that have completed at least the easy set of Varrock Diary tasks can buy noted battlestaves at a discount price once a day by claiming them from barrels located on both floors of the shop or by talking to Zaff. The amount of staves one can buy each day depends on their progress on the Varrock diary.

Varrock Diary discount perk
Buying discounted battlestaves is a good moneymaking method, as you can then immediately sell them on the Grand exchange for over 1,000 gp more each. You can also choose not to sell them and use them to train Crafting yourself by making elemental battlestaves, which is especially useful for Ironmen.
The table below shows the corresponding number of available battlestaves for each of the Varrock diaries.
| Difficulty | Daily permitted battlestaves |
|---|---|
| Easy | 15 |
| Medium | 30 |
| Hard | 60 |
| Elite |
120 |
Trivia:
Laying on the northern table inside the shop, there appears to be a Pharaoh's Sceptre, a Slayer's Staff, and a Rod of Ivandis. However, Zaff does not sell any of these in his shop.
