Elemental Staves are a group of Lv.51 [[Woodworking#Artisan_.2871-80.29|crafted]] [[Staff|staves]] that are equipable by [[Job|all jobs]] and offer a hidden effect that is similar to, but distinct from, [[Magic Affinity]]. This hidden effect being so potent that it's not until Lv. 99+ that other staves even begin to match or exceed these staves in power.

Each staff has a DMG of 30''NQ''/35''HQ'' and a delay of 366''NQ''/356''HQ'', and follows the same structure of their listed effects:
*The [[Base Stat]] associated with the element +4''NQ'' or +5''HQ''. (e.g. [[STR]] for {{fire}}, [[AGI]] for {{wind}}, etc.)
**{{dark}} lacks an associated Base Stat, so grants +1''NQ'' or +2''HQ'' to each [[Base Stat]].
**While {{light}} is associated with [[CHR]], the {{light}} aligned staves grant +1''NQ'' or +2''HQ'' to each [[Base Stat]] like the {{dark}} staves instead.
*Elemental [[Magic Evasion]] +15''NQ'' or +20''HQ'' for the element the associated element is strong to. (e.g. {{ice}} for {{fire}}, {{earth}} for {{wind}}, etc.)
*A bonus to a [[Derived Stat]] associated with the staff's element.
**This bonus does not change in potency between NQ or HQ.
**Some elements grant bonuses that are not a Derived Stat, but are generally functionally the same.
***{{dark}} lacks an associated Base Stat, and as such: lacks a [[Derived Stat]]; granting '''MP Recovered by Healing'''.
***{{ice}} grants a bonus to [[Elemental Magic Skill]], which translates into the general Derived Stat associated with [[INT]]: [[Magic Accuracy]]; thereby being functionally identical for [[Elemental Magic]]s.
***{{water}} grants a bonus to [[Divine Magic Skill]], which translates into the general Derived Stat associated with [[MND]]: [[Magic Accuracy]]; thereby being functionally identical for [[Divine Magic]]s.
***{{light}} doesn't grant a bonus to the general [[Derived Stat]] of [[CHR]]: [[Magic Accuracy]]; granting a bonus to [[cure potency]] instead.
***{{earth}}'s general [[Derived Stat]] is [[Defense]], being associated with [[VIT]]; however, the {{earth}} staff grants a [[PDT|Physical Damage Taken]] reduction instead, which is similar in function to increased [[Defense]].
*An [[Enspell]] type additional effect of the associated element.
**There is no difference in potency between NQ or HQ staves.

Each staff's hidden effect offers a potent buff to the corresponding element that it is tied to; and an equally potent reduction to the element that the staff's element is strong against. (e.g. [[Fire Staff]] grants {{fire}} spells Macc+20, a damage boost of +10%, and {{fire}} Avatars and Spirits a reduced perpetuation cost of -2; but reduces {{ice}} spells Macc-20, a damage reduction of -10%, and {{ice}} Avatars and Spirits an increased perpetuation cost of +2.)

Introduced in the July 2012 Update[http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/25812-July-24-2012-%28JST%29-Version-Update?p=341607&viewfull=1#post341607], each base elemental staff can be combined via [[Synergy/Recipes/Apprentice|Synergy]]: the NQ staves into a [[Iridal Staff]] and the HQ staves into a [[Chatoyant Staff]].

:Normal Quality Staves ''''' cannot''''' be ''"high qualitied synergized"'' into a [[Chatoyant Staff]], ''only'' the HQ Staves can be merged into the HQ unified staff.

The unified staff has a DMG of 40''NQ''/45''HQ'' and a delay of 366''NQ''/356''HQ'', and has similar structure of their component staves' listed effects:
*All [[Base Stat]]s +4''NQ'' or +5''HQ''.
*Elemental [[Magic Evasion]] +15''NQ'' or +20''HQ'' for all elements.
*The [[Derived Stat]] bonus of the {{light}} and {{dark}} staves: [[Cure Potency]] and '''MP Recovered by Healing'''.
**There is no difference in potency between NQ or HQ staff.
*In lieu of the [[Enspell]] type additional effect, the unified staves have a unique effect called [[Iridescence]]
**There is no difference in potency between NQ or HQ staff.
**[[Iridescence]] adds a secondary [[weather#Weather_Effects|weather proc]] for an additional +10% damage boost or cure potency boost.
***This may be forced to proc with the appropriate [[Elemental Obi]]
The unified staff's hidden effect offers a potent buff to the '''all''' elements, with no penalties to an element like the component staves; the only difference being between the NQ and HQ staff:
*Iridal''NQ'' grants all spells Macc+20, a damage boost of +10%, and all Avatars and Spirits a reduced perpetuation cost of -2.
*Chatoyant''HQ'' grants all spells Macc+30, a damage boost of +15%, and all Avatars and Spirits a reduced perpetuation cost of -3.
