The '''Eltex Staff''' is a DLC [[Weapons#Melee Weapons|melee weapon]] that benefits those using it who can use [[Psycasts]] by enabling them to use their powers more frequently.

==Acquisition==
Eltex staffs can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward, once you have the Royalty DLC active. You cannot craft this item.

==Analysis==
A normal [[quality]] eltex staff improves a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 33%, and improves the [[Psycasts#Neural_Heat_Recover_Rate|neural heat recovery rate]] by 2.5 per 30 seconds. This sensitivity buff scales with quality making for a powerful buff to a psycaster's abilities especially at higher qualities. However its potential as a weapon is limited with the second lowest DPS of any melee weapon, just barely better than [[Beer]]. The eltex staff cannot be equipped by a pawn incapable of violence.

As the Eltex staff makes a rather poor melee weapon, and with a full psycaster set ([[Eltex robe]], [[Eltex shirt]], [[Eltex vest]], [[Eltex helmet]]) your pawn will have little armour, it's a good idea to keep them in the back as a "support" pawn.

An eltex staff improves a pawn's [[Psycasts#Neural_Heat_Recover_Rate|neural heat recovery rate]] by 0.083 heat per second and [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by an amount dependent on the quality.
