### **Summary of the Camel Staff** The Camel Staff is a magic weapon introduced on **January 25, 2021**, as a drop from the Desert Treasure II-inspired mini-boss, the **Twin Furies**, in the Shifting Tombs activity. It is a **level 85 two-handed staff** primarily designed with unique utility. Its most distinctive feature is its passive effect, **Sandstorm**, which creates an AoE damage field occasionally during combat. This makes it excellent for clearing clustered mobs or mitigating damage during select PvM encounters. However, its niche use has largely relegated it to an intermediate weapon tier, overshadowed by high-tier staves like the Eldritch Crossbow or Fractured Staff of Armadyl. ### **Release Date & Rarity** Its rarity stems from being a mid-to-endgame drop only accessible to advanced players. With a drop rate estimated around **1/512** under optimal combat circumstances, its price periodically fluctuates based on player activity during Desert-themed updates. ### **Overall Historical Price Analysis** The Camel Staff’s price trends mirror RuneScape's broader economic fluctuations and game updates. Initially, its value hovered between **50-60M GP**, but it experienced significant drops after the necromancy combat update (*August 2023*) as new meta builds supplanted traditional magic setups. The price data provided shows a gradual decline interrupted by isolated spikes correlating with Treasure Hunter GP injections and duped gold events. #### **Key Observed Trends from the Historical Dataset:** 1. **February 2024's Spike (~31M GP)**: - Aligned with major * Valentine's reward dupes (~Feb-Apr 2024), where inflation pushed mid-tier items temporarily higher due to speculative investments. 2. **Massive Plunge (~April future beyond highcoupon April-event gameplay## (
