Eltex staff

The Eltex Staff is a DLC melee weapon that benefits those using it who can use Psycasts by enabling them to use their powers more frequently and with a greater effect.

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 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 neural heat recovery rate by 0.083 heat per second and Psychic Sensitivity by an amount dependent on the quality.
