Staff
From Final Fantasy Wiki
- For the wiki's staff, see: Project:Staff
Staves (つえ Tsue) are a recurring set of weapons from the Final Fantasy series. They are usually wielded by those who practice White Magic, while practitioners of Black Magic tend to wield Rods instead, though this relationship has been reversed in recent games like Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy XI. Recurring staffs are Rune Staff, Power Staff (which is more suited for improving Attack power), Healing Staff, and the Sage Staff, which is usually the ultimate of this weapon type.
Prominent staff users are Tellah, Porom, and Fusoya of Final Fantasy IV, Aeris of Final Fantasy VII, and Vivi of Final Fantasy IX.

The White Mage, Black Mage, Summoner, Scholar, Monk, Dragoon, and Paladin Jobs are proficient on the use of Staves.
The Staff skill encompasses not only standard mages' staves, but also poles and quarterstaff melee weapons. However, quarterstaves are restricted to White Mages, Paladins, Dragoons, and Monks, as they are designed for heavy melee damage.
[edit] Final Fantasy XII
In Final Fantasy XII every party member can equip Staves, as long as they have acquired the right license. Staves boost Magick power and elemental damage, but have less Attack power than Rods.
