The '''Oaken staff''', also known as the '''Oak staff''', is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. It is the weapon the {{Hero 5}} from {{Dragon Quest V}} is seen wielding in his official artwork. It has gone on to become the most basic {{Wand}} for spellcasters.

==={{DQ5}}===

The Oaken staff is the default equipment for any [[Mage]] that joins the party from the [[Quester's Rest]].

==={{DQ10}}===
The Oak staff has an {{Attack}} bonus of +3, a {{Magical Might}} bonus of +2, a {{Magical Mending}} and style bonus of +1, and increases the wielder's weight by 2, as well as having a {{MP}} absorption rate of 2%. The staff can be equipped by [[Mage]]s, [[Armamentalist]]s, [[Sage]]s, and [[Druid]]s. It can be crafted with woodworking.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Oak staff is a D-rank staff that can be acquired as a reward for completing the {{Staves}}: Intermediate level. It has a {{WIS}} bonus of +6 and two slots for Alchemy Effects.

==Trivia==
*The [http://dragon-quest.org/wiki/File:Dq5ds_hero_artwork.png official art] for the {{Hero 5}} of {{Dragon Quest V}} depicts him with this staff. This is the only time the protagonist of a numbered entry in the series is illustrated without a sword as his weapon, and is a subtle allusion to the true identity of {{V}}'s legendary [[Hero's son (Dragon Quest V)|hero]].
