'''Staves''' are a relatively new weapon type in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest series]], typically used by [[Martial Artist]]s and [[Priest]]s. Debuting as a distinct category in [[Dragon Quest IX]], they are primarily used for defence in the way of avoiding attacks out right. While this does not limit the use of the weapon to less-resilient characters, it is still advised to equip them to any character in need of extra evasion. | |||
They are similar to the real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_(staff) gun], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C5%8D bō], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterstaff quarterstaff], which are used in martial arts. | |||
