Varrock Diary discount perk

Players who have completed tiers of the Varrock Diary may buy noted battlestaves at a discounted price of 7,000 coins each once per day from the barrel on the ground floor^[UK]1^st floor^[US] of the shop. The number of staves available depends on the player's progress in the Varrock Diary.

Buying discounted battlestaves is a good daily moneymaking method, as players can immediately sell them on the Grand Exchange, where they usually go for over 8,000 coins each. The current price of a battlestaff is 8,309. Players can also choose not to sell them and use them to train Crafting by making elemental battlestaves, which is especially useful for Ironmen.

The table below shows the corresponding number of available battlestaves for each of the Varrock Diary sets, and the profit made from selling them on the Grand Exchange.

Diary	Daily stock	Total price	Profit	Profit per 14 days	Profit per 30 days
Easy	15	105,000	19,635	274,890	589,050
Medium	30	210,000	39,270	549,780	1,178,100
Hard	60	420,000	78,540	1,099,560	2,356,200
Elite	120	840,000	157,080	2,199,120	4,712,400

Trivia

• Laying on the northern table inside the shop, there appears to be a Pharaoh's sceptre, a Slayer's staff, and a rod of ivandis. Additionally, against the wall are some staves with heads similar to that of Ahrim's staff. However, Zaff does not sell any of these in his shop.
