The '''eltex staff''' is a [[Weapons#Melee Weapons|melee weapon]] added by the [[Royalty DLC]] that improves [[psychic sensitivity]] and makes [[psycast]]ers more effective.

It is one of a set of [[eltex|eltex items]] with similar effects.

== Acquisition ==
Eltex staffs cannot be crafted. Instead can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward. 
Additionally, [[Empire#Bestower|Imperial Bestowers]] always spawn with an eltex staff.

==Summary==
Eltex staves improve the wielder's [[Psychic Sensitivity]] and base [[Psycasts#Neural Heat Recover Rate|neural heat recovery rate]], by an additive amount dependent on [[quality]]. The increase in Psychic Sensitivity also increases the neural heat limit. The increases are shown in the table below:

{{Psychic Sensitivity Quality Table|0.50|0.083}}

Note that eltex staves are unabled to be wielded by pawns incapable of violence.

== Analysis ==
Despite its description claiming that "it is a solid melee weapon", an eltex staff is weaker than a piece of [[wood]]. It is clearly meant for psycast focused characters, allowing for more casts and longer effect durations.

With a full psycaster set ([[eltex robe]], [[eltex shirt]], [[eltex vest]], [[eltex helmet]]), your pawn will have little armor. It's a good idea to keep them in the back as a "support" pawn.
