'''Iban's staff''' is a [[staff]] used to cast [[Iban Blast]]. It is obtained by defeating the evil mage [[Iban]] at the end of the [[Underground Pass]] [[quest]]. Iban's staff requires 50 [[Magic]] and 50 [[Attack]] to wield. Casting [[Iban Blast]] on a [[monster]] consumes one charge from the staff and casting it on another player consumes two charges. Casting other [[spells]], like [[Fire Blast]], does not consume any charges.

If Iban's staff is lost [[Koftik]] will give a broken staff to the player at the entrance to the [[Underground Pass (dungeon)|Underground Pass]]. It must then be brought to the [[Dark Mage]] with {{Repair cost/Iban's staff}} to repair it.

The [[Dark Mage]] in [[West Ardougne]] will upgrade an Iban's staff to an [[Iban's staff (u)]] for {{Upgrade cost/Iban's staff (u)}}, which increases the charges it holds to 2,500 instead of 120 and fully charges the staff. A broken Iban's staff can also be repaired and upgraded at the same time for {{Upgrade cost/Iban's staff (u) recharge}}.

The [[maximum hit]] with Iban Blast is 25, making it excellent for low-level [[player killing]] and [[Barrows]]. 

If Iban's staff is lost in [[PvP]] under level 20 [[Wilderness]], it will be dropped to the ground and can be picked back up.

Upgrading Iban's staff or wielding an Iban's staff (u) is a [[medium Ardougne Diary]] task.

As a [[melee]] weapon, the Iban staff is equivalent to a [[mystic staff]].

==Recharging==
An Iban's staff or its [[Iban's staff (u)|upgraded variant]] can be recharged for '''free''' by using it on the [[Well (Paladin badges)|well]] where the [[paladin's badge]]s are dropped in the [[Underground Pass (dungeon)|Underground Pass]] ('''not''' the [[Well of Voyage]] that you may first come to). Players can reach the exit by teleporting to [[Lletya]] using a [[teleport crystal]], by travelling to fairy ring {{Fairycode|BJS}} with 76 [[Agility]]  (after completion of [[Regicide]]), or by [[charter ship|chartering a ship]] to [[Port Tyras]] from [[Brimhaven]] (after completion of [[Regicide]]). Another method is by using the [[Abyss]] to enter the [[Death Altar]] and exiting to the bottom of the Underground Pass. 

The quickest way to return to the well is through the Underground Pass exit, north of Lletya. Bringing some form of [[antipoison]] is highly recommended. Upon entering the Pass, climb down the well then go over the agility obstacles before passing through the door to the north-east where you will arrive at the well. Using the staff on the well will allow players to charge it. To return to the well from West Ardougne, you will need a bow, arrow(s),  a spade, a plank (can be obtained), a tinderbox, and rope(s) to go through the [[Underground Pass (dungeon)|Underground Pass]] the long way. 

Alternatively, players can pay the [[Dark Mage]] in [[West Ardougne]] {{Charging cost/Iban's staff}} to charge the standard staff or {{Charging cost/Iban's staff (u)}} to charge the upgraded staff.

==Trivia==
* Every time the player equips Iban's staff, the game chat will state {{mes|You equip the staff of Iban.}}
* Players can obtain multiple staves by using the [[drop trick]] when killing a [[Disciple of Iban]] to collect multiple broken Iban's staff which can all be repaired. However, all duplicate staves share the same charges.
