==Analysis==
Eltex staves improve the wielder's [[Psycasts#Neural Heat Recover Rate|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:
+
A normal [[quality]] eltex staff improves a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 42%, 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.
  
{{Psychic Sensitivity Quality Table|0.50|0.083}}
+
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 armor, it's a good idea to keep them in the back as a "support" pawn.
  
Note that eltex staves are unable to be wielded by pawns incapable of violence.
+
An eltex staff improves a pawn's base [[Psycasts#Neural_Heat_Recover_Rate|neural heat recovery rate]] by 0.083 heat per second, though this will be modified by their psylink level, and increases their [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by an amount dependent on the quality.

{{Weapon Quality Table}}
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.
