The eltex staff is a melee weapon added by the Royalty DLC that improves psychic sensitivity and makes psycasters more effective.
It is one of a set of eltex items with similar effects.
Acquisition[edit]
Eltex staffs cannot be crafted. Instead can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward. Additionally, Imperial Bestowers always spawn with an eltex staff.
Summary[edit]
Eltex staves improve the wielder's neural heat recovery rate by +0.083 heat/second, and increases Psychic Sensitivity 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:
Quality | Awful | Poor | Normal | Good | Excellent | Masterwork | Legendary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Psychic Sensitivity | +25% | +33% | +42% | +50% | +58% | +66% | +75% |
Neural Heat Limit | +20 | +26 | +33 | +40 | +46 | +53 | +60 |
Base Neural Heat Recovery Rate | +0.083/s | +0.083/s | +0.083/s | +0.083/s | +0.083/s | +0.083/s | +0.083/s |
Effective Neural Heat Recovery Rate | +0.135/s | +0.135/s | +0.135/s | +0.135/s | +0.135/s | +0.135/s | +0.135/s |
Note that eltex staves are unable to be wielded by pawns incapable of violence.
Analysis[edit]
Eltex staves are clearly meant for psycast focused characters, allowing for more casts. Despite its description claiming that "it is a solid melee weapon", the actual attack is weaker than a piece of wood.
With a full psycaster set (eltex robe, eltex shirt, eltex vest, eltex skullcap), your pawn will have little armor. It's a good idea to keep them in the back as a "support" pawn. You can also wear a shield belt without impacting psycasts.
