The eltex staff is a melee weapon added by the Royalty DLC that improves psychic sensitivity and makes psycasters more effective.

It is one of a set of eltex items with similar effects.

Acquisition[edit]

Eltex staffs cannot be crafted. Instead can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward. Additionally, Imperial Bestowers always spawn with an eltex staff.

Summary[edit]

Eltex staves improve the wielder's 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:

  • Quality Awful Poor Normal Good Excellent Masterwork Legendary
    Psychic Sensitivity +25% +33% +42% +50% +58% +66% +75%
    Neural Heat Limit +20 +26 +33 +40 +46 +53 +60
    Base Neural Heat Recovery Rate +0.083/s +0.083/s +0.083/s +0.083/s +0.083/s +0.083/s +0.083/s
    Effective Neural Heat Recovery Rate +0.135/s +0.135/s +0.135/s +0.135/s +0.135/s +0.135/s +0.135/s

    • Note that eltex staves are unable to be wielded by pawns incapable of violence.

    Analysis[edit]

    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.

      It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the wielder if the weapon is wielded by some other than a baseline human.
