Quarterstaff
The quarterstaff is a Two-Handed weapon added by Spartan Weaponry, with stronger variants included by Spartan Fire. It has a decent DPS and is tied with the Katana for the highest two-handed attack speed. It also has Sweep II, meaning it will deal 50% damage to all other enemies in an arc in front of the player. Being two-handed, the player cannot hold an item in the off hand lest they suffer from mining fatigue III and a 25% damage penalty (unless they are a titan, in which case the debuffs are nullified).
Due to its high attack speed and Sweep, the quarterstaff provides immense stopping power. Its lack of a conditional damage bonus also makes it one of the more consistent weapons. Additionally, its attack speed allows it to benefit more from flat damage buffs than other weapons, allowing it to potentially match the DPS of stronger weapons.

All quarterstaves require a Pole and 2 pieces of the desired material, placed diagonally with the pole in the middle. Spartan Fire weapons require a Witherbone Pole instead of a basic Pole, barring steel.
